re Edit) removed the period, hopefully that helps

re Edit 2) fixed the 404 issue: was a rare bug

User flow) I've now added Guest Pass login which will improve user flow in areas. I'm curious what exactly are some of the flow issues you hit more specifically.

re Edit 3) I switched to a monospaced font for the timer :)

EDIT #A: I've made the "signup/login" banner button to navigate to the registration page (with option to see login) instead of the login page by default. This should a much better flow as most users clicking the button will be those registering. Thanks for the tip!
