As for having to log into the docs site, that’s really strange. When I use docs.unrealengine.com I don’t have to log in to search. Any chance this is a local issue (i.e. your browser’s cookies/cache)? I can ask around and see if there are any restrictions on our end.

That problem happens exactly once per day (Windows Firefox), so it really does seem like a server-side issue. That said, I’ve tested a bit more and found out this:
-
If I’m logged out: no problem.
-
If I’m still logged in from the previous day, and try to use docs search for the first time of the day, I do get kicked out to the main page through this sequence of URLs (in this example, I searched for “console var”):
This only happens once per day - from there, whether I log in or not, my next docs searches for the day will all work fine. This means that the problem is about the UE website dealing with “old sessions” and invalidating them in a problematic way.
Separately from that, I’ve posted a few posts on here, and my forum account still says “Posts: 0” and keeps every post of mine “unapproved” for a long time, preventing me from posting more until that newest post is approved. Isn’t that a bug? Only my very first post should have this long approval period.
