We are not affiliated with the Apple forums. Have you cleared your caches and tried multiple browsers? If none of that worked, then maybe the site is having an issue..

You're not alone. I don't know what the problem is either. The site asks for your Apple ID and password which is not Rocket Science. I enter mine correctly and it comes back with the same message you got. It's been doing that for months. However, if you dive right into the forums themselves without signing in, it works. Of course if you don't sign in you can't post a question or reply. Just access their forums as guest.

Oh Ohooo!!! They've discovered that you've been associating with mac-forums.com and they cut you off. They really don't like any competition or especially anyone caught stealing and using any ideas they have posted.
BTW: It's working for me even though I haven't been there in a while and was able to login and it all worked.
