I'm surprise this hasn't happened to you.

It just so happens that about half an hour ago, I clicked on my usual DU home page bookmarked link and it showed me a page where I wasn't signed in and asked me to sign in (usually this link takes me to the DU home page with me already signed in).

Note I haven't done anything unusual in the slightest or in the least since the last time I accessed DU. I didn't clear my browser cache, I did not restart my computer, none of that.

Anyone else?
