Login worked normally for me, but the cookies that keep me logged in afterwards didn't work until I used the 'remove cookies' link in the front page. So from my point of view, the situation seems to have been handled.
First of all, I had no problems logging in. But then I also started with no LQ cookies. (Deleting all LQ cookies after logging out has been SOP for me for several (?) years since I found I had fewer problems that way.)
I haven't managed to find much time for LQ as of late so I recieved one of those emails wanting to make sure I wasn't having trouble logging in. After logging in, out of curiousity I naively followed both links in the email. One link was to this thread and the other link was the page that was supposed to clear cookies. (OOPS ) Being the skeptic that I am, I checked and I appeared to still be logged in, so I guess it didn't delete all cookies -- unless it was only supposed to delete the "old style" cookies. I currently have 5 cookies from LQ.
I should tell you this is on a Mozilla 1.4 browser, which, needless to say, is a bit out of date. So perhaps that accounts for cookies not being cleared. I don't know if it relates to what some people are reporting wrt the code upgrade, but the reason I am in the habit of clearing all LQ cookies when logging off, is because (for maybe several years?) I have found that if I do not do that, I tend to get logged off shortly after logging in.
Thanks for security upgrade. I hope my info was useful.
EDIT/UPDATE: When I checked prior to first making this post, I did indeed only have 5 cookies from LQ. When I went to clear cookies after logging out, there were 20 cookies from LQ!

Actually, the link was supposed to delete all cookies; It just didn't work for everyone, but since you already delete cookies, you wouldn't have an issue, anyway.
i just wanted to pop in real quick and say that the site is working for me. i am able to log in and post. i am using IE8 (i know, but i use linux too).
hope it's working for everybody.
thanks, Jeremy.
I noticed no problem logging in... Would I be correct in understanding that users are having problems in not being able to be logged in 'long-term'?
At any rate, I received the email concerning the possibility of my not being able to log in...
Well, I obviously can...
Thanks for the notice.
I didn't have any issues logging in. Actually I have been away for a while. I just wanted to chime in to assist with any troubleshooting for other users.
