    Not seeing that with Firefox here; existing cookies seem to be working ok.

    I'd be curious to know what browser this was. Was it IE by any chance? Have you tried clearing all your browser cookies and restarting IE before logging back in? If you're using IE you may need to clear cookies and restart the browser a couple times.

    I couldn't login this evening - my password wasn't being accepted - cleared all cookies, cache, restarted browser with no luck - ended up having to reset password, and finally managed to log in again.

    I'm not sure if it was the exact some problem as above but I just could not logon. Said my password was incorrect. I use 1password to save all my passwords so I couldn't of been entering it wrong. I tried chrome and firefox nothing worked. So I reset my password and it finally let me sign in with a new password.

    Yeah, I see multiple attempts to login on your account like with other people's accounts that had this problem. Thanks for reporting back, I'll include yours as a recent report with this problem.

    I had a problem logging in to the website, so I had to reset my password.

    The biggest problem is that this is the third time this has happened to me. I wish this could stop, it is really annoying.

    Yes, actually I am. Strangely, it would seem the only browser that I can stay logged into is Chrome. IE, Firefox, Nightly, and even Waterfox (a 64bit variant of FF) all seem to have magically stopped signing me in. And when I do try on any of those browser I get some some sort of signing in error as if GS keeps telling me I've entered the wrong login info, when in fact I know I didn't b/c I been coming here for the past several years w/ virtually the same username/handle and have had no issues. Could this have something to do w/ the website updating that's been taking place?? I mean, though I love Chrome it's very frustrating to only be relegated to using GS on ONE browser......
