I just successfully registered, but it need to be approved. You GD CAPTCHA was defeated years ago. Implement a GOOD (no math, no colors, no geography, un-Googleable) Q&A CAPTCHA.

you can try to login on http://splitaddress.com/phpBB3/ or http://www.splitaddress.com/phpBB3/

And than set your cookie domain right. " .splitaddress.com"

Thanks for the responses. Seems after I closed the browser and cleared the cache it now works. Will keep your points in mind.

Cheers
