cannot make new account or login to existing acc

Hi terry,
That because the related forms (register and login forms) in the jm sporty theme was missing the Form key field. 
To solve, you have to add bellow code after form tag (<form …>…):

<?php echo $this->getBlockHtml('formkey'); ?>

I have do it for you at two template files at path:
/app/design/frontend/default/jm_sporty/template/persistent/customer/form/login.phtml
and
/app/design/frontend/default/jm_sporty/template/persistent/customer/form/register.phtml
and the issues was solved in your site. Let’s have a look.

Hi terry,

the issue when a user resets the password is still occurring, i click the link sent via email & get taken to /customer/account/changeforgotten/  but it shows a page saying
“COMPARE   You have no items to compare.”

That because some new changes in Magento 1.9.2.4 and we have edit the xml file at path: app/design/frontend/default/jm_sporty/layoutcustomer.xml as bellow:
open the file and find to the xml code:

<customer_account_resetpassword translate="label">
    <label>Reset a Password</label>
    <remove name="right"/>
    <remove name="left"/>

    <reference name="head">
        <action method="setTitle" translate="title" module="customer">
            <title>Reset a Password</title>
        </action>
    </reference>
    <reference name="root">
        <action method="setTemplate">
            <template>page/1column.phtml</template>
        </action>
        <action method="setHeaderTitle" translate="title" module="customer">
            <title>Reset a Password</title>
        </action>
    </reference>
    <reference name="content">
        <block type="customer/account_resetpassword" name="resetPassword" template="customer/form/resetforgottenpassword.phtml"/>
    </reference>
</customer_account_resetpassword>

and replace it by the code:

<customer_account_changeforgotten translate="label">
    <label>Reset a Password</label>
    <remove name="right"/>
    <remove name="left"/>

    <reference name="head">
        <action method="setTitle" translate="title" module="customer">
            <title>Reset a Password</title>
        </action>
    </reference>
    <reference name="root">
        <action method="setTemplate">
            <template>page/1column.phtml</template>
        </action>
        <action method="setHeaderTitle" translate="title" module="customer">
            <title>Reset a Password</title>
        </action>
    </reference>
    <reference name="content">
        <block type="customer/account_changeforgotten" name="changeForgottenPassword" template="customer/form/resetforgottenpassword.phtml"/>
    </reference>
</customer_account_changeforgotten>

About the Breadcrumbs because you customize and that why the makeup HTML has been lost on your site. You can see the demo very different on the site.
