This has been happening quite a bit lately.
When I come to the forums I am not allowed to view the Gallery section but I can view the IP Hosting section. Yes, I did try to get to the Gallery section and got the message that I have to be a customer.

Once I go to the client center and log in then come back to the forums I am allowed in the Gallery section as I should be, and the IP hosting section is now protected.
