Hmm, I seem to remember something here. Go to your account settings, because the account login is not the forum login. The forum login is set in account settings. Also allow some time to pass between setting and function, but it should be pretty quick.

When I go into my regular account at https://register.ageofconan.com/account , there is a line called Setup My Forum Account. My settings are in there. 

Edit: I am a US account thou. 

I had this same problem getting on the forums. I did everything I could see to do as far as having all the ducks aligned on my end. Finally I sent them  an email asking how to access   the forum after subbing. It took several days, and I don't remember ever getting a response from Funcom about it, but one day I was able to post.

When you say you subbed, have you paid any money or just reactivated/created an account?  I have a feeling forum access may be limited to paying/premium members (whatever they call it).  Though I don't know for sure I have been banned from the forum.

Yes forum access is for paying  players only. As long as you have a current subscription you can post on the AoC boards. If you let your subscription expire your posting privileges will be suspended.

I remember having this problem. I messed around with it for a long time until I gave up.. Few days later it just worked..

On the account management page under Help is 'Contact Customer Service'.  If you select that option you get a simple form to complete.   I would just log a support call if you haven't already.   Just make sure you are trying to connect the right forum, as they have two one for the US and one for the EU. Forum logins as far as I know are not interchangeable between the two sites.
