Can only see forums pages when logged in now

I noticed tonight when logging out that I didn’t see the usual Home>Forums>English page and instead see a login page.

I also made a bookmark of a forum page earlier and if I try to use that bookmark without logging in, I also only see a login page.

This is highly unhelpful. Something changed since last night this same timeframe. Why can’t I see the forum posts when not logged in?

EDIT:

I did upgrade to the latest iOS today but I have not seen this type of behavior before when upgrading in the past.

    I also realized that ...

    I have made a list of addons for the whole community to see...

    Not happy if this is something that will stay.

    Ok its not just me. I usually leave mobile signed out in the case I get suspended, then I can still view the forums on my phone. Being signed in while suspended blocks you from seeing anything on mobile. Now I'm forced to login mobile to see anything at all.

    Same here. I'm logged in on my desktop so can see the forum, but I stay logged out on my phone (no suspension worries, I just don't post on my phone) and can only get a login screen there.

    Same issue.... this is NOT a good thing!!

    There is much information available on the forums for players who do not or cannot log in. And not everyone who tries/plays a game wants to make a forum account right away. For me, this would be a skip-game if I encounter forced account creation anywhere.

    I imagine it's just a bug that will be fixed when the team realise what's happening.

    Not at all helpful, sometimes I look up forum issues from computers I'm not logged into. If this is deliberate, it is a bad move.

    same here - but on the plus side, for the first time in 9 years, the reset password option worked for my forum account.
