Well I tried reinstalling Chrome, but I am still getting the same issue.  I also tried to recreate the same problem on Internet Explorer, but I was still able to access the forums.  I also just installed Firefox so I could post the results if I did lock myself out of the forums with IE.  However, when I logged in I was not able to login to the forums just like Chrome, I just get sent back to my collection page.  This was on a clean install on my first login.  It's weird that IE is the browser that is actually working...
