As far as I can see, the login issues have been solved, at least for me.

I'm sorry you have continued to have difficulties.

The only thing I can think of right off that has helped others is to make certain you are logged out from both ptg.org and my.ptg.org, before trying to check out the new login system.

A rather large effort has been put into fixing this, so the exact detailed description of your frustrating experience would be of great help to those trying to fix these web site problems.

It only took me about 50 tries to log in, although my username and password information were entered correctly.  It simply just kept going around in circles and kept asking me for the same info on the page I started with, again and again and again.  Searching for help with this was the same frustrating, counterintuitive, and all but nonexistent effort that it was a year ago – it is still the same broken piece of shit software that it was when they introduced it and  nothing meaningful has changed.  It still navigates like the software was written by a bunch of 12 year olds during recess – pretzel logic.

After all, they’re just doing it for our own good.

Nor do I believe they will make the effort to move to something else if the issues cannot be resolved, no matter how inferior the product is.  After a year of this, I have lost my faith in them.
