I completely agree. I clicked on a link again today and was faced with an interface requiring my email address and password which I duly entered. It then required that I enter my password in both fields and then told me I was already registered.

What a surprise. I go to a web page to read an article which an email told me about, which I receive because I am registered. Therefore, of course I am already registered.

If I must be logged in then allow me to do that!! And no, going back to another page or the home page to log in is not the answer, it's simple - put the log in option on the same pink pop up that the registration is on.

For an IT site this has absolutely no understanding of how a user friendly site should be constructed and constantly puts me off using the site.
