• Password issue (fixed again)
• May 7th, 2008

Update: Logins are working properly now. The hosting service was upgrading MySQL servers which resulted in the passworld handling getting reset (twice).

Our hosting service is doing upgrades and has botched the password handling again. I've put a ticket in about the issue and hope to have it resolved soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.
