Forgetful Seal How do people find the location for the seal so fast? I am searching all over the site and can't find where the seal puzzle is located and 107 have already solved it?
What is the trick to finding where to look?

Its about forgetting Think about something you might possibly forget that M could help you remember.

How would you go about getting M's help with that thing you forgot?

I think to be more accurate, M isn't who can help you remember.

P, on the other hand, was most likely hired my M to take care of the member's forgetfulness.

One thing that might help is to be logged in first.

Now that you're logged in, notice anything strange in the interface? Any links that seem redundant?

My guess that it's my password, but I don't know what to do about it. Do I request a password change/put in my email or something?

What is the usual practice on millions of websites
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
that allow you to login when you forget your password?
Who knows, maybe M follows the standard practice too

I think some of you don't understand the purpose of the spoiler tag.
It's for hiding puzzle solves or tv/movie/book plot points so as not to ruin the fun of someone who is trying to get through the puzzle or story on their own.
If you hide something then you need to explain what it is you are spoilering so folks know if they should look or not.
example:
Here is the puzzle xxxxwwwwwyyyyzzyyy
and here is the solve:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
puzzle solved

Actually, SpaceBass pointed out an awesome feature in the stickied rules thread:
Code:
[spoiler=This is the spoiler description]This is the spoiler.[/spoiler]
becomes this:
This is the spoiler description
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
This is the spoiler.

Thanks. Really, really helpful.
I've never posted here before and didn't want to give away even part of the solution for those who haven't even found the puzzle yet. Usually the way I tell if I want to look at a spoiler tag or not is to ask myself "Have I finished reading/watching/solving this yet? And if not, would I be okay with having the end/solution ruined for me?" If I answer no to both questions, I don't look. I realize this is a complicated algorithm, but I find it really works for me.
