[Bug 1208110] [NEW] The Email Us page displays Access Denied if the user is not logged in

 

Public bug reported:

On the website:
Make sure that you are logged out.
Click the support menu item
Click the email page link under bullet point 4

The page show the following text:

"
Access denied
Send a message to the support team via the form below. Please note that the support system is manned in people's spare time, so a reply may take a few days.
You are not authorized to access this page.
"

This could be a little confusing to the user. They could (as I first
did) think that the page is broken.

I understand this is probably for spam reasons, but could we instead
display an notice saying that you need to be logged in to send a
message? Or make the page available to non logged in users but use a
capacha?
