Not quite forced registration: it can be dismissed by clicking the "x" in the corner (cropped out of this screenshot -- EDIT: There might not be a way to dismiss it in all of the variants; see comment below).

Also, it's part of an A/B test and is not universal.

Would love to see a full shot to know how prominent the X is. It certainly seeems quote distant from the related controls.

It's either not there anymore or it's not there for everyone.
