I tried 3x this afternoon to register and finally succeeded. There's
something wrong with the site's registration system. Apart from the
basic fix, it should send a confirmation email upon successful
registration. FWIW I edited the article.
I reregistered MatthewRubenstein with a different password but the same
email address matthew.rubenst...@blue-green-group.com . I tried to login
immediately; the login page took over a minute to return a reply, which
didn't log me in. No response email. I tried requesting a lost password,
but received no email in response (the response webpage took over a
minute to return). I tried again submitting the same credentials. This
time the registration page timed out. So I tried again a few minutes
later. The response page took over a minute to return, and said "This
user name already belongs to somebody else." So I tried to login and
succeeded.
