Update:Web Page Login

Today we have introduced some changes to the way you log in to our website and its features, such as the offence system and your message inbox.

We have changed our log-in form, so that you will no longer have to wait for a Java applet to load. This should make logging into the website a speedier process for you. The new form also contains ‘Recaptcha’ support, which requires you to decipher words from scanned books if your log-in attempt fails.

Whenever you need to log in with your username only, such as submitting an account recovery request, you will still use the Java applet.
