For the past couple of months I have been having trouble logging on to the site. The log-in page has an overwhelming preference for registering new people, and gives me a hard time when I click on the login tab instead of making an entry onto the new registrations tab. As soon as I start to fill in the sign in stuff for the login tab, it usually changes back to showing the new registrations tab, so I end up filling in the logon info there instead, and then have to start over. I keep having to do this, over and over again. Also, it doesn't like my password, but it is the correct password. Besides the browser security list of passwords, I also keep a little note book of logons for different sites. Both my note book and my browser agree on this password being the correct one for me to use with this site. However, when I try using it, I am usually bounced back to the registration tab, instead of being logged on. Although I eventually get onto the site, I am getting pretty annoyed by this.

- Why is this happening?
- Is this happening to others here?
- What do I do to stop this from happening, short of abandoning the site? :x

I think this is currently becoming ridiculous, if the site owner is using I Phone settings for different web browsers, assuming he is, then why are they continuing to be such a problem? I can tell you why, without sounding like a know it all, its clearly the fact that a cloud fare captcha is still present, and can't be removed entirely without future consequences. The server was down last week and that made me think that certain new measures are disguised to dry up input from less savvy users who don't carry around a posh phone with unlimited function ability, on all types of older proxy servers which have been updated to newer versions or a new type of factory input which disables any newer page versions. This means to my mind one thing, that the pages here are beginning to get too old.
The only way to deal with a mess is to just clean it up, so someone should press fast forward on the egg-timer and do it.
Another great idea would be to just start again from scratch and make this one unusable.
