I thought the article would be about someone mistaking those clouds behind the building as a bomb blast.

What's that blue stuff above the building?

It is obvious: the root of terrorism is Fish & Chips.
To the horror of all, it makes one even consider seeking out the Groaning Arses Golden Arches . . . sad but true.

Well, given the way I've seen staff treat people who don't speak RP or a respectable foreign accent, I'm surprised we're not subjected to more horror stories like this.

Change config, test and fail, make another config change, test and fail again, back to the config...
I guess I'm a configurator now

I really like WCF - except for the config.. Very difficult and tedious.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

Wherever there's a company that makes a product with an easy way of doing something, there's always bunch of blinkered, single-minded developers who are convinced that dealing with the infrastructure of doing it is far more important than actually doing it.

By basics, I mean simply all the pieces that have to be in place for someone to register!
For example, these are just the bare minimum pages:
1 Sign in (manually or with a social media account)
2 Register (including possibly captcha, emailing registration token, etc)
3 Change account settings (name, email, password, etc)
4 Close account
5 Forgot username / password
And then the minimum supporting infrastructure:
1 domain registration
2 hosting
3 a database for storing account information
4 an email server for sending out "welcome", "registration", "here's your temporary password", "account closed", etc... messages
5 web server (of course)
6 your application's "controller" code
7 SSL certificate
Which of course doesn't even begin to cover server farms, etc., if you expect your website to be the next Farcebook.
And then the Javascript / CSS pieces:
1 bootstrap?
2 what sort of MVC / MVVM / M??? framework
3 jquery (pretty much a given)
4 other third party UI components
And that's after you've decided on language, platform, etc.
And then there's:
1 Do I need a mobile app vs. just a website?
2 Do I need a desktop app?
3 If yes, should I look into one of those "all in one" solutions?
4 Or can all this be written in PHP under Wordpress?
And last but not least is "how do I make my site attractive?" Artwork, animations, branding, etc.
And all the things I left out!

You always obtain more by being rather polite and armed than polite only.

Wow. I guess old websites never die, they just, well, get uglier.

That's not ugly, that's just simple, but straight to the point and readable.
This is ugly[^].

True dat, as they say. Been going through the same hell for a while now - good luck!

You don't really need your 1,2,3,4 JavaScript options - a simple vanilla JS script can be quite adequate. But otherwise, yes, there's a lot going on alright!

A lot of your troubles seem to be centred around getting people to register.
Is there a particular reason why you need people to register? I know that I've passed on visiting numerous sites because they demand that I register with them, when all I want to do is look at a few web pages.
Is there something specific that *requires* their being signed in? If not, don't bother with all that cr@p, and spend time on creating content that will make them want to come back.
