I was concerned there was a hack. I am glad it finally worked.
Anyone else have trouble?
UPDATE: It was a hosting error. All is well. No Hack per Skinner.

DU DOWNTIME 11/5/18 Appx 2:30 ET
Democratic Underground had a brief period of downtime from approximately 2:00 to 2:30 pm today. This was due to an error caused by our hosting company during an upgrade.
We have fixed the problem, and are now double-checking our servers to make sure everything is ok.
In case it isn't clear: The site was NOT hacked. This was a totally innocent glitch.
Thank you for your understanding.

I'll try to use it as a lesson in not freaking out.

(6,344 posts)I went straight to FB DU for answers and could not find any. My timing of signing into the site was just so, that it was during that downtime.
I know I want access to DU tomorrow night for sure!
