Logging into LoCo forums

You should be able to just browse to the LoCo forums and post normally with your existing account, it's all part of the Ubuntu Forums.

Just keep in mind the urls should be http://ubuntuforums.org and not any subdomain else the loggin sessioning wont say across the sites.
Take not of this thread. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=966395
For some reason I was unable to log into the *ph* LoCo, I'd enter my login details but after getting redirected I noticed I wasn't logged in. Altering the URL to ubuntuforums.org as suggested did the trick - I just didn't notice the .com (of the LoCo forum) vs .org initially.
About logging in under a different alias: I have had absolutely no problems logging in to ubuntuforums.org using a wide variety of subdomain names. Just to test it, I logged out and logged back in at the sites: http://eat.fruit.loops.ubuntuforums.org/ http://this.forum.rocks.ubuntuforums.org/ and yes, as I have posted elsewere, http://bump.the.bump.thread.ubuntuforums.org/
I have also tried browsing to the LoCo forums using these (and other) subdomains, and have had no problems accessing them or other forums on this site, and following the links above transfers me seemlessly between them. This is likely due to the fact that the domain value in the ubuntuforums.org cookie is set to ".ubuntuforums.org", which allows just about anything to preceed the 'ubuntuforums.org' part of the address.
