Not sure where else to put this.

Lately, if I Google and want to visit a link to something on discussions.apple.com, if I click the link, I always get an error until I log in with my account, preventing me from viewing the discussion at all. The error gives no indication of this. It just says there's a problem with the message board, but I figured out it was because I was not logged in.

Questions:

1) Why do I have to be logged in to just view an Apple Discussions topic? Or is this just Chrome? I haven't tried in Safari yet.

2) Is there any way to stay logged into Apple Discussions on my own computer like we have here at MacNN?

3) Why, when logging in, do I almost always have to go through the 2nd factor authentication again? This happens on icloud.com on the same computer as well.

Thanks,
Steve
