Recreating steps:

Just open [https://meta.discourse.org](https://meta.discourse.org) in “incognito” web-browser session.  
And press “G” then “N” from your keyboard. (goes to /new).

Result:

Checked here, and at sandbox site ([http://try.discourse.org/new](http://try.discourse.org/new)).

Regards!

Ps, I’m not sure if this is a real “bug”. 😊

not a bug, methinks. if you are not logged in then the new page has no purpose. but maybe the error could be friendlier. 😄

Hmm yeah we should not show an error in this case though. cc: @eviltrout if it is an easy fix go for it
