@manuel - actually that will also be tackled by the update we are planning. Please be patient, it's worth the wait! 
(well, at least I think it is)
Either way, a small update was placed on MSX Resource Center just now. Today, we detected a massive increase of fake user account registrations and attempts to spam our comments/fora. To give you an indication of what we're talking about, it's not a spam message or two, but several hundreds of messages within a 12 hour timeframe. And a multitude of accounts.
Now you probably have not noticed anything about this as we have found quite a nifty way to prevent spam from showing up on the website these days, but nevertheless it was time to take measures. Especially since all our members can also contact other members via contact forms and we don't want that feature to be abused by spammers.
So from now on, new users will have to prove they are human by playing a simple game - a service provided by areyouahuman.com. As many bots have already registered an account on MRC the only way to block the already existing accounts is to also require this human-verification during the login process. So for the time being (while we find a way to nicely clean up our user database) you will be asked to play a little game every time you login on MRC.
(Unless you connect with Facebook, that is).
Sorry for any inconvenience, I hope for your understanding! -- and perhaps you even enjoy those silly games. Ahwell... :RNFF:
@hit9918 - not a virus, but a modern CAPTCHA. Read above. I did quite some cleaning up already, so I'll lift the "are you human" validator from the login process. So the only point where you have to play this game is when registering a new account. Sounds reasonable, no? 
@snout, means I made it thru fovever? phew 
As far as I remember I suceeded this game 3 times in 2 browsers, i.e. had to go 3 times thru it.
rather that than the horrible captcha, though. I always misread them ... 
uhm no, I'm not a bot.
