[thesite] bugs in login page

Hi.

Just wanted to report a couple of bugs in the login on w.e.o

URL: http://evolt.org/login/index.html?action=error

a) TABINDEX is set incorrectly. The submit button has a TABINDEX of 24 
while the "username" INPUT box has 31 and the "email" INPUT box has 32. 
When I press tab from the username field, it goes to email instead of 
"Submit". When I press tab from the email field, it goes to the evolt logo.

b) If a user apparently enters an invalid username/email, he's brought back 
to the *same* page again with no apparent explanation of what happened or 
what he did wrong. This is a usability flaw. Could we possibly put a 
<strong> message on top saying, "We're sorry, but we couldn't find your 
email or username in our database" ?

Regards,

Madhu
