Hitting the back button after initial visit gives me a login prompt. That's pretty annoying...

At least on the front page, the site does a self-reload which breaks the back button. This isn't merely annoying, or a dark pattern...it's just plain obnoxious and something I thought was left back in the "stickiness" 2000s.

That a login page is tacked onto this is a new twist though, I'll hand them that.
