For the record, the site has been blanking out for quite a while when I attempt to log in or click around and post too, and then pressing the back button then the forth button is usually successful.
Next issue was with my using a new computer as I couldn't login via the usual browser. So I tried to create a new account but could not because the security images wouldn't appear - you know, the images to align or letters to type in to prove you're not a robot. The error page that would always show up stated that I had made too many attempts even if only one attempt was made.
Now I have found that I can log in with the new computer only with a different browser than usual.
Hoping the issues get resolved soon.
