I just entered, but I had a lot of trouble logging in to the website to get the member discount. It kept bringing up a blank box whenever I clicked the link to log in, even when I clicked on it from other pages and even after restarting and using an incognito window. I finally logged in through an old email I had from customer support in which there was a link to reset my password. I’m not sure if others are having this trouble or if it is just me. Thought I would mention it.
Hi Haley,
My apologies for your frustration! I’ve notified the OTFS chair.
