Another sympton I noticed that is probably a sign something is wrong ...

When I used to visit the GFW site, it would show my info at the top/right of the page (similar to xbox.com).  However, now the area is just blank, even though I am signed into the site.

I managed to find the sign-in (on the forum page, not the home page), but now I'm having the same problem as you.

1. I click on the link you posted above.  I see THIS.
2. I click the "Sign In" link at the top/right of the page and immediately see THIS.  Notice that I now appear to be signed into the forum.
3. I click on one of the threads and I see THIS.  Again, notice that the top/right of the page displays that I am currently signed in.
4. I click on "Reply" to post a comment on the thread and I am redirected.  I now see THIS.  Notice that the top/right still says I am signed in, but I am now being prompted to sign in again.
5. I attempt to sign in again, and I am redirected.  I now see THIS.
6. The page tells me my GamerTag is "Not Found", and provides a link that will supposedly direct me to a page to create one.  I click on the link and I see THIS.  Now we're back to where we started.

If anyone has any insight, please share.

I even tried the "forgot password" option at the forum sign-in, and the following page said I would receive an email within 15 minutes.  It has now been over 2 hours and no email.

I just accessed the Games for Windows Live Forums, has your profile timed out, in which case, go to Xbox.com, sign out, sign in, go to forums. But, make sure that your Live ID with your linked gamertag is signed in, then get into the GFWL forums. Hope this helps.

Not all of us on the http://gamesforwindows.com/forums are that rude.

• No GamerTag Found, when I am Signed In?!

No worries, I've been exposed to a lot worse, that was almost pleasant but anywho, back to the problem;

Try going to Login.Live.com and signing in - Change your password to a new password there, try signing in again.

So this happens when signing in to Games for Windows Forums?

• Signed-In, No GamerTag Found Message?!
  
• Signed-Out, it simply goes to Xbox.com to Create a Profile?!

Sorry I see the screenshots now.
What browser are you using?
I would try clearing your browsers cache and cookies. Then trying to go to the site again, also maybe try a different browser

I cannot believe someone would write insane drivel such as this.
"We" at GFWL Forums will help anyone who asks regardless of what jedimasterc06 would like you to think of us.
GFWL Forums is not run by him or moderated by him.
As for Xbox topics, in the GFWL Forums, just follow the TOS like any other forums site and everything will be fine.
I am relatively new to the GFWL Forums, but as an active user and one who sole purpose is to help users along in their quest for a smooth gaming experience, regardless of the platform, just ask and I will help as much as I can. And I will point you in the right direction if that is needed.

It is very hard dealing with people with inflated egos as they will always think they are right and everything should be their way.
Xbox users, know that you have every right to use ANY forums as you need as long as you, and anyone else, follows the TOS.

Nuff said!
