Has the DS login system changed for anyone else today ?

I tried to log in as normal and was redirected to a page for updating my details....including having to enter my full name and d.o.b etc etc.

Yes, same thing. Saw a 'close account' link and clicked on it and it gave me an option to close the account, which is nice. Can't find it now I've logged on properly though.

They've added the option to use your facebook login as well for DS (if you have one).

I can't log in using Internet Explorer now. :-/

But other than that, logging in on Firefox it didn't give me any forms to fill out or anything - to those who did get one, what browser are you using?

I had some trouble logging in, but that was because I got the underscore and dot mixed up and ended up and having to try several variations including - as well. I do like that I am able to comment on DS articles now, as I dont have a facebook.

Took me a while to figure out the new login, then I went to post and it said I was not logged in. Works okay on my phone though.

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm hoping that the IE9 problem's going to be temporary.

They seriously need to fix that problem.
I can't login with IE9 too.

Don't they check if it works first?

It asked me so many questions. But I refreshed the page and it came up with 2 options, to either log in via facebook, or via DS. I clicked DS and it logged me straight in.

I must admit that I don't particularly like it myself but one of the web applications that I have to use in the course of my work only really works on it so I have to have that as my default browser.
