So I was trying to look up if something was possible to do. I needed to sign up, but the sign up option did not exist for some reason. I tried to log in, but it also did not work, even though I had a discourse account and a gimkit account. Anybody know the reason why?

Could you send a screenshot of what you’re seeing?
Thanks.

And logging into your existing account doesn’t work, correct?

I don’t think it’s a bug. There is a setting admins can use to allow only users that were invited to sign up.
Or a similar setting like

Such settings are the reason why it is more helpful to contact the admin of a forum if you have a problem with a specific forum.

Could it also be that `allow new registrations` is turned off?
