Another Dog on the Pile

I know everyone already knows this, but boy is that new APA website a complete piece of shit.

• It frequently goes offline. (As anon 4:00AM points out, it is offline right now.)
  
  
• The items on the menu bar are indistinguishable. You can't tell where one item stops and the next starts.
  
  
• There's (still, in 2011) no way to pay your dues online.
  
  
• There's (still, in 2011) no way to register for conferences online. (Right? I'd like to verify this, but, alas, the website is down.)
  
  
• The JFP ad-submission system is fucked up and doesn't function, which has caused the publication of the October JFP to be delayed.
  
  
• The JFP itself is somewhat hidden. And, apparently, some members in good standing are unable to see it at all.
  
  
• The online paper-submission system for the Pacific Division Meeting is so poorly designed that it is nearly impossible to use successfully. I have never seen a submission system with such a counterintuitive set of procedures--you have to press the "back" button before you can press a "submit" button. And, of course, there is no clear set of instructions.
  
  
• The other divisions, of course, do not seem to have online paper-submission systems at all. (I'd like to verify this, but, alas, the website is down.)
  
  
• The administration doesn't respond to emails about this.
  

What in the fuck? Seriously. What. In. The. Fuck. The incompetence of this organization is simply amazing. It lacks even the most basic abilities required by a professional organization. Can I join and pay my dues online? No. Can I post a job ad online? No. Can I look at the jobs newsletter online? No. Can I submit a paper to one of your meetings online? No. Can we get a navigable website? No. Can I at least look at your website? No. Can I get a reply to my email about what in the fuck is going on? No.
