Rob Sylvan — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 21:20:11 +0000

Our new login and sign up is now live. We've tried to make everything quicker, easier, and more secure.

Now when you login or sign up for a new account, you'll get a login box in an SSL-enabled secure pop-up (technically it's an iframe, not a pop-up) which won't navigate you away from your current page. You will be able to use either your member name or email address to login.
