Hi Tom, and South Coasters,
For the last two weeks we’ve had multiple attacks on our website. These attacks are bots attempting to open multiple membership accounts. Our webmaster is working through this and one of the temporary fixes–as least we hope that it is temporary–is to implement human verification to make sure that it is really YOU logging in.
As Ron said, I believe that if your cookies are enabled you should not have to go through this every time. Please bear with us. thanks, Eric
