Using Chrome, right-click on the page and choose "View page source". Without being logged in, you are served a different plate of html. Notice the links redirect you to a blank page. That's by design. When you log in, you are served different html... you'll have to ask the moderators/forum designer why they chose to do that. I gave my opinion.
I urge you to educate yourself about how http requests, redirects, etc. work. When you click on a link, you're sending a request - same as if you had typed something and "posted" it.
The World Wide Web can be a scary place... but the more you understand how things work behind the scenes, the less mysterious it becomes. Understanding the mechanics also allows you to make good decisions about what is acceptable, and what to avoid.
Good luck.
