Why doesn't my Data Lab login work with the User Forum?

Question

I want to avoid the "I'm not a robot" check every time I ask a question.  Not only does my Data Lab login account not work, I can't even find the link to create a new User Forum account.

Answer 1

The login is the button in the upper right that looks more like a "logout" button.

However, that doesn't answer the question of why a separate login is necessary.  Why can't users with Data Lab login credentials be automatically added to the User Forum?

Answer 2

We understand this is a nuisance, and are working on a way to avoid multiple logins.  Stay tuned.
