Every time I attempt to log in, I always get a perpetual "PLEASE WAIT" page. To bypass this and get on, I have to resort to tricks; such as refreshing the page (often several times), then clicking on a past (or current) "greeting" email link. This sometimes works quickly, sometimes only after many attempts, and sometimes not at all. For this reason, much of my paid membership time was effectively unusable and wasted. As such, I have not renewed my "Gold" status membership; I feel I probaly would not need to if this severe login problem didn't occur.
I doubt if my experience is unique, so I am thus not terribly surprised when others fail to (because they can't easily or reliably) respond to greetings, or even carefully composed letters. Hence, one of the prime purposes of this website is largely defeated. And that is to try to please the Lord by trying to follow 1 Cor. 7:9 "If they don't restrain themselves, then they should marry, for it is better to marry than it is to burn (in the soul with relentless searing sexual passions.)"
And this happened well before support for Windows 2000 ended, and Internet Explorer 6.2 was considered obsolescent.
