Logging in today I had to prove I'm not a robot...!
I have a user name and password and have been a member for many years, why now do I have to prove I'm not a robot..?
Just ridiculous time wasting....

The site was under attack by a world wide botnet of thousands of IPs testing login credentials for over twelve hours last evening. The current login requirements are in place for everyone's protection.

I appreciate that, but having to click on multiple pictures of buses is a bit much....
This time however I only had to tick the box, which is obviously a lot easier......
Thank you for being vigilant.....

And what about those of us that actually are robots? Discrimination, plain and simple. Bleep, blorp, bloop. You'll be hearing from my robot lawyers. Eventually. It appears they're having trouble logging into their email accounts.
