BUG REPORT: Login Screen Appears When Already Logged In

Hi Franklin,

This bug probably started around two years ago and occurs from time to time in all the embedded forums I operate. I report it now as yet another user is encountering it.

Nabble sometimes presents a login screen when a user is already logged in. When it occurs you do not see the login and register links, but the username of the person logged in.

A workaround is simply to navigate away from the screen with a click/tap on the forum name link at the top left.

However, most newcomers don't realise they have encountered a bug and proceed to attempt to login a number of times and it is annoying for those following permalinks in emails to pages several sub-forums down in the structure as they are utterly broken by the bug.

Unfortunately, I have never been able identify what sets it off and it is relatively rare (I might see it once in a couple of months across the whole range of Nabble forums I maintain) so I have not formally reported it before now, although I have posted the work around to those presenting it on this forum.
