This morning I have had some slight trouble logging in. I had to input my user name and password twice in order for it to accept me. I don't get an error message, it just takes me to the front page and I'm not logged in. It's not a big deal but I thought someone might like to know.

I'm using IE 5.0

Actually, I had a moment of 'trouble' as well -- I thought it was because I'd accidentally clicked on the FAQ, but it seemed like I lost my login for a moment there.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Ditto, here.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I had the same login bug myself when I got to work -- I thought at the time I must've somehow hit "log out" instead of "read new" (which really makes no sense at all, given both the page layout and the behavior, but hey, the coffee machine is broken).

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yup, it didn't remember me, either. Seems to be okay now, though.

I had a similar login problem. I posted a message and when the post appeared, I was logged out. It seems okay now though.

Okay, that was really weird.

When I posted the above, the system accepted the post, then logged me out and took me to the "guest" version of the page. When I hit "log in", Mozilla didn't automatically fill in my login name and password, which says to me that it's not the usual log in page.

I hit the back button a couple of times, until I was back at the original posting box I had used, and now the system recognizes me as DXMachina, and I'm able to post this message. WTF?

edit: It logged me out again, but hitting the back button logs me back in. Are we losing the session ID somehow when we post?

Okay, hitting the back button to log you back in only works on the page you go back to. If you try to go elsewhere, like the Message Center, it logs you out again.

Okay, just manually logged in. Now let's see what happens when I post.

Huh, this time it kept me logged in.

Which means you must do the manual log in.
