Uh... not to be a pest or anything, but it seems that whatever you did to "fix" the problem has actually replaced it with something much worse. Not only can earlier positions in a game not be viewed, but now, the one thing that CAN be done when viewing a game (even games you aren't playing in, as well as finished games) is to in fact ALTER THE LOG. [Yes, you heard that correctly.] And not just with a move from the current position, but also take-back moves from earlier positions. So literally any prankster who comes along (until this is all somehow resolved) can practically turn Game Courier upside down at his/her very whim, since as long as you are logged in as a registered member, the server will indeed allow you to actually SEND moves without a password (yes, regardless of whose turn it is, who is playing, or even whether the game is still in progress!!).

"Small" glitches are of course nothing more than a minor concern, but this... someone needs to get on it, ASAP!

Edit: I only slightly exaggerated the situation. Finished games cannot be modified in any obvious way (but are still impossible to view at any position other than the final one, not to mention the fact that there is no  [easy] way to determine the opponent of the winning player).
