Help topics and Forum page

I have added some help topics to the help page as well as created a forum page on which people can post issues. There is a link in the static footer that appears on every page that asks people to post any issues on the forum page. For some reason you need to sign in to post on the forum page right now which doesn't make sense to me because it doesn't seem like the Forum tab is included in the rolify logic (see app/views/layouts/_navigation.html.erb). Unless the logic that is governing this problem is in another file.
