ORIGINAL: zgrssd
*I have seen one of those prompts in years. They were originally designed for logins, but we pretty much went for our Dynamic Website code tracking session itself and never looked back.

The Formular also demands my password (what do you need it for, I am logged in via cookie. Just take my dang user ID!), but is not encrypted.
Everything there tells me your page has been hacked to phish away passwords. Maybe one of those tricky hacks, that does not appear to the developers and Admins, only to normal users?
That or the designer of the page has not touched HTML for 3 decades.

I would love to register, but I can not trust some security and design nightmare like that with stuff like my password!

There's no hack, it's just that the new beta system has not yet been connected to this old forum (which is due for an upgrade) so we're linking to our old system for forum compatibility which created a few side issues due to its age.

Hi everyone,

Just a short announcement to say that beta recruitment is now closed. There will be a new beta recruitment posted later for a final pre-release test, but we'll be recruiting our initial beta waves from the very large pool of applications we've already received.

Regards,
