Answer these:<br />
<br />
Which OS are you using ?<br />
Did you modify your OS for privacy or security in some unusual manner ?<br />
Which Browser are you using ?<br />
Is that Browser "Tor" ? or some other variant of any popular browser - i.e Waterfox, Palemoon, Brave or Iceweasel/GNU IceCat ?<br />
What security add ons or plugins have you added to your browser ?<br />
What level of security and privacy does or computer have ?<br />
Are you using No-Script ?<br />
Are you using Ghostery ?<br />
Are you using Privacy Badger ?<br />
<br />
If you want, you can send me a PM and we can talk about what might be amiss - if it is on your end.<br />

I am using Linux - a version that I built from scratch. I have also had no problems with Mac OS, IOS, Windows 7 and Windows 10, Chrome OS, and Android in native installs and / or in a virtual environment.    My biggest issue was that this website could not send an email to my comcast address - even after I got logged in with my user name and even set up a new user name to test things out. When I contacted the Admin and gave him/her my email address , he said he could not find it.  However it was right there in my account just like it was for 15 years.<br />
The website works fine in many aspects as far as it is quite generic and a canned type product - considering it is built from free and open source MyBB (I believe the BB might stand for Bargain Basement) If you check thier own help forum you might get something of a clue. <br />
I love the suggestion box idea but, Looking at the open source code and the Help Forum I suspect there won't be much customizing unless there are already pre packaged plugins that fit the criteria.  I'll hope for the best but won't hold my breath.<br />
<br />
Here is an image of a small indicator of just one  tiny little potential curiosity :<br />

Nope.  The system is wacko.  I give up.
