I have an instance where public registration is not allowed and new members must be invited by other members. When you go to [forum.com/login](http://forum.com/login), the login modal window doesn’t open automatically and you have to click on the login button to open it.

However, if I enable signups, but still keep the forum private, then [forum.com/signup](http://forum.com/signup) opens the signup modal window but [forum.com/login](http://forum.com/login) doesn’t open the login modal window.

If i make it a public forum, allowing public registrations and anonymous access, then both modal windows open, on [forum.com/login](http://forum.com/login) as well as [forum.com/signup](http://forum.com/signup)

I have tried removing css customizations. Any tips? Is this a bug?
