I do not know why you are having issues logging in, it happens sometimes to all of us, just make sure you are using the correct URL that you can find in the FAQ sticky at the top of this board. Re the captcha it is not case sensitive, there have been times I have tried multiple time sure I am entering it correctly and it just refreshes then eventually it works fine, could be my fat fingers or something else, honestly I do not know. If you get the last search message just hit page back and try again, I know this feature is a bit of an issue as this message pops up often, it may just be an issue with the simple machines software. Re tormail, this has nothing to do with SR so I cannot help you.
