Nothing. It's happening to everyone. I haven't been able to get the email to go through and I'm using an accepted email site.

I've had to load up an older tab from my history to get on the site three or four times since they started requesting it. I can't help if it doesn't work. This is just one more thing in a long line of reasons people are walking away from the site. If they get it fixed, fine, but if not, I'll find another site or something else to do with my time. I've been reading this site for a couple of decades, just wasn't a member, but it's been steadily going downhill since around 2012, with booting good members by some mods that had personal agenda's rather than the poster breaking rules.

Brownell's has nearly killed it completely with their "improvements and changes ". It was a great place, now there's almost no traffic. Used to be the topics on the main pages moved so fast you couldn't keep up with it, but now a topic will stay on the front page 24hrs or longer. It's still the best gun site on the web, but it's loosing it's magic, and part of that is the accessibility. When it's this hard to log on everyday, people will eventually get tired of logging on, and it's not really necessary to make some of the changes they've made.

I miss the old AR15.com.

Yep, it's decreasing my time spent here, too. And all the repetitious captchas and email requirements are starting to get on my nerves. This stuff is DEFINITELY NOT a site improvement.

With all the problems people are having just verifying their email I can just imagine the fun it's going to be doing the actual mfa rollout

Hence why we are going through this process now. It may not be painless, but no one is being blocked from the site yet. We just need to make sure everyone can actually get emails we send so that MFA wont cause people to lose access to the site
