Thanks.
Opera 9 is still in beta, isn't it? I try not to run beta stuff on my main machine... And I'm not using ad blockers (except what comes built into Opera) or proxies. I do use that popular HOSTS file from the web that short-circuits a lot of ads, etc. But that works just fine with the other browsers I use (Mozilla 7.x and IE on a rare occasion).
I was able to log in again this morning and to play it safe, I haven't bothered to try logging out...
