Not going to sign up on Facebook for that... so: Patio11, do you realize Patio has a meaning in Spanish too?

Hi loboman, you can signup without facebook too. We'll make that more obvious

  It says "Don't have Facebook?". I prefer something like "Sign up with Email". Most of the people that want to use email have FB accounts, they just don't want to use them.

  you can signup without facebook too. We'll make that more obvious I'm on board as one of the folks to receive questions, and yet every time I visit the site, it asks me to log in again, unlike almost any site I have signed up for as a regular participant. I probably do some kinds of script-blocking that only a minority of users do, so this bug in persistence of sign-in information may not have been experienced by anyone else, but I'll not for the record that I don't even see a display of a way to log in with Facebook, so that's probably a symptom of the same issue. Never assume anything about the characteristics of the user's browser unless that is mission-critical for your site. I can use other online sites (including Facebook) just fine. AFTER EDIT: To answer your kind follow-up question, caoxuewen, I'm using Chrome with all of the following extensions installed, mostly with default settings: Adblock Plus (Beta)1.2 Warning: This extension failed to modify a network request because the modification conflicted with another extension.

    Hi tokenadult, this is indeed a bug, we are are looking into it now - curious what browser/version are you using?

  As long as you're here: can't post from my iPad because the login link on top does nothing if I tap it. Would sincerely appreciate a fix, since light writing (like this comment and Askolo questions) are perfect for banging out at the cafe on my iPad prior to going home and doing real work on my PC.

Yes, but it didn't cause my best friend in middle school to dissolve into laughter between fits of quacking noises, so it works for me.
