Does a forum login not work for article comments?

[lakedude]

Hi my forum login seems to work fine for the forum but I can't seem to post a comment about an article on the main website. Is a separate account required?

OK, weird, my old simpler password worked over there...

Correct, you need separate logins for the site and the forums.

The two were once integrated long ago, but we disintegrated them almost a decade ago.

Thanks, good to know!
