Dave,
Here's what I figured out. Around 1 pm I tired logging on and couldn't, after several tries I found I still couldn't so I submitted for a new password and received one. That password allowed me to sign in. However I got a call from Dwight and he couldn't get in either, and among other things that anglers talk about about the first topic was that he couldn't get in.
I was still signed in at that point, so I immediately signed out, thinking I'd see if I could get back in. I could not. This same sort of thing happened the last time I changed my password, which I'll add never let me successfully change my password manually again. But that's another issue. I have only now been able to sign on again.
This is after a 2 hr. 40 minute wait. I could try to log out and back in but I feel that I won't be able to so I'm not. Anyway I hope this helps with the issue.
edit; 506 pm, I'm going to try signing out and getting back in, if I don't get in immediately you know because I won't be here, I'll go get some dinner and try again later.
