need the user to login first? remember what they were doing and automatically continue it, once they're logged in
new account? same deal, continue automatically after they've registered

this is pretty weird; over the last few days @whatpulse.org is getting a bunch of traffic from Singapore for pages that do not exist 🤔
at first I thought it was a scaping/AI service, but it seems they're only going after `/forums/` pages - which don't exist..

the funniest thing about this Cloudflare outage is that even if specific websites are online and just fine
..their bot catcher isn't, so you can't access them 😂

TIL that you can't trust that `localStorage` is always going to be accessible

why the hell did you move actions from a perfectly good location (at the end) to somewhere *no one* is going to expect it?
who's in charge over there? I'd like to speak to the manager
