The cookies got all messed up. You have to clear them to get the forum working. I think a lot of people can't access the site right now because of this.

I can only login to the forums if I use the IE tab. For some reason when I use FF, my login name and password flicker on then dissapear. And then when I try to login, the "Enter" button doesn't work.

I can't access the site directly, but I searched for a topic on google, and was able to login and use the site from there. Weird.

This was a simple solution without killing all cookies.

Windows XP with IE 6 - If you try the site, then go to c:\documents and settings\currentuserid\cookies, there will be cookie@anandtech.com.txt or similar file. Delete it and the forum should now work, but you will need to login again.

Of course if you are reading this, too late ;)
