It seems to be required to click the "remember me" checkbox to be able to log in. If I try to log in without it I get a screen "Thank you SamuraiCrow for Logging in!" and then it takes me right back to my non-logged in status.
Before you ask, I already tried clearing my browser cache, cookies, using IE instead of Firefox, and entering my password by hand rather than by the browser's password memory. I'm using Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.3 .
