  • That explains it because I hardly ever go on the website I just use the mobile app.

    Some groups make you become a "special" member and then give you a password. I refuse to join because I don't understand the point... Like what is it a secret society or a clique? Silly.

Not sure what special interest forums you are referring to.

I was going to post about that today as well. All the special interest forums are password protected.

I noticed this too..i was trying to access the Socal Vsg Support Group and the gym rats group....I don't really understand why they would be locked?

Does anyone know?

Apparently they are locked when you are trying to access the special interest forums when you are using a mobile device. Normally you don't need a password if you're on a regular computer. There is no password that I know of- just a bug in the system which I hope can be fixed since more and more folks are going mobile only.
