Problems Logging into the New Forums

I posted this weirdness a week or so ago over in the Technical Issues forum, but I thought I'd see if any other Mac users have run into this particular problem.

I'm currently unable to log in to the new forums via either Firefox (3.5.2) or Safari (4.0.2). I enter my ID and password, and I actually get that "Thanks for logging in, El_Furioso" interim screen, but then I'm returned to the same forums home screen I started on, still not logged on (as if I never tried logging in at all). I've cleared my cache and cookies on both browsers, ran Onyx to try to clear any extra junk out, but no change. I'm actually posting this via Camino -- I downloaded it just to see if it would exhibit the same problem, but it seems to work just fine. On the PC side, never any issues on Firefox/WinXP.

Has anyone else seen this? And would anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

4. Try to log in again.
Thanks, Manga. Result.... nada. No change. Same behavior as I described above.

Honestly, this makes no sense to me at all. If I was just seeing this in one browser, I'd think that particular app somehow got munged. And if it was *every* browser, I'd think it was maybe some weirdness at my router. But YES to Camino, NO to Firefox/Safari is stumping me.
