So I made a member category to specifically get into a private forum section.  Everytime I want post in it, I have to login.  Is this normal?  Is there anything I can do to change it?

Yes and no respectively.

I think you are saying you added an an address of a registered user to the "Members" group and then set the permissions for a certain sub-forum so that only someone in that group has permission to post.

If I understood you right then that is normal. There is no way for Nabble servers to know if you belong to the appropriate group until you have identified yourself and you do that by logging in.

I know of no computer system where access rights are limited that does not require you to login be that by username and password, card scanning, fingerprint, face or iris recognition or some other method.

Having said that, you may be forgetting that every modern browser has a facility to remember login details on previously visited sites. Providing you select the appropriate options in your browser you should get be able to login automatically - but that's a browser feature not one of Nabble's.
