AoC Issues : Age of Conan Discussions

Has anyone else had any trouble getting onto the AoC forum since the early release. Cause I can no longer sign onto the forums or register and in order to add my CE key too my I have to make a new account what kinda crap is that?*also why do half of the funcom account options take you to the AO site pages even though your logged onto the AoC part?

Just wanted to see if anyone else had these same issues.
