Cannot get onto Apple Developer Forums

Every time I attempt to log on to the apple developer forums it tells me I need to create a new user account (even though I already have one), and when I try to sign up it gives me an error:

Anyone else have this issue and/or know how to fix it? Thanks!

Solution 1:

So finally after one year of effort one of the kind apple engineer replied to my ticket and the issue resolved and closed now. Please find below response from apple just in case any one is looking for it -

Please note that there is an issue with non-standard email domains. We kindly ask you to create a new Apple ID with .com domain, and try to access the Forums with that. You don’t need to have an active paid membership to access the Forums.

Solution 2:

From time to time I have had this "create account" page appear for what seems like no reason. In my case, there was a reason.

You may have already been logged in to Apple's single sign-on with an Apple ID that hasn't yet been set up for use with the developer forums. When this occurs, the forums site picks up the login, notices that the logged-in Apple ID is not "forums ready", and forwards you to the "create account" page.

To get past this, you can go to developer.apple.com's "Member Center" to sort out your login, then return to the forums web site.
