If you are having issues with registration, login or posting in the forum (ie, retaining your login session), these issues more often than not come down to cookies. If you've not cleared out your cookies since we switched to the new site, or your cookies have become corrupted, then you may experience problems with login. V-Flyer needs to use Cookies to remember you, so if it's picking up old or broken data, that's why you may see problems.
FYI, the forum and main site maintain two separate logins, but attempts to "bridge" together so you don't have to login twice. It is possible, however, to be logged into the forum but not the main site, and vice versa. Generally, going through the site homepage rather than deep-linking to a forum page will reduce that problem.
The internal site links tend to use the http://v-flyer.com URL, rather than www. - and because cookies see the two as different domains, you may find going to http://v-flyer.com less troublesome than www.
