Every day at work, I need to search for some technical question about programming for Apple platforms.
I search on Google. I see 5 results on Stack Overflow. I see 5 results from the Apple Developer Forums.
I open all the results in new tabs.
- Stack Overflow results work fine! The pages load.
- Apple Developer Forum links result in an error and do not load.

This is EXTREMELY ANNOYING. It's not a private forum! If my login fails, just show me the non-logged-in view of the page.
There is not even a link to the page, or a hint at the title of the page. I have no idea what the page was about. I have to return to the google results page and re-click-through. I have usually closed the Google SERP by this point, and have no idea how to get a link back to the ADF page.
On the second click-through to ADF of the day, the login issue has apparently been reset and the page loads fine. This happens EVERY DAY on the first link to ADF.
Please fix this so that a failed login does not completely obliterate the page I was trying to open.
