Registration Issue
On Saturday, 29 Apr 2014, it was discovered that new users were not able to register accounts. The problem is believed to be related to the use of Google reCAPTCHA. CAPTCHA ("Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart") attempts to prevent abuse via "automated" registration. In addition, users also complained of difficulty in reading the visual cues. Therefore a new algebraic CAPTCHA has been implemented to address both these issues.
