If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

It probably is loose. These things actually tend to rust from the inside out. They get condensation trapped in them over the years, even with that little "drain" hole at the bottom, which often becomes clogged with soot and ceases to function as it should.
To fix it, at least for a while, you can drill a small hole in the bottom (where you can't see it) and put in a sheet metal screw. The idea is that the screw will catch the loose baffle and secure it. You might need to try a few different screws.
Are you sure it's the baffel ratteling ? The little covers, that hide where the muffler connects to the header pipes, are bad about coming loose & ratteling. Sometimes the screws get loose & sometimes the spot weld will come loose. Worth a look see, before drilling holes. Just my opinion.
