Sourceforge post-update login

Is anyone else having trouble with Sourceforge?

I used to be able to retain my login comfortably, but today I tried  
going to a page, and it didn't log me in automatically, which it  
should have done.

Not a big problem, so I logged in, then tried going to the page I  
wanted, by inputting it as a Bookmark on My Page. SF logged me out on  
the way.

I tried searching for the project, which is The Translation Project,  
but despite using those exact words in quotation marks, I didn't get  
anything like it in the first page of results. I tried "n: The  
Translation Project" as advised by the Help, and that didn't get any  
results at all. I tried browsing under Translation, but it didn't  
turn up in the first page of results there, either. Back to the login  
problems...

I found I couldn't log in again. I tried several times. Then I  
deleted all my cookies, but that didn't help. I still couldn't log  
in, and there are no error message, it simply goes back to the login  
entry page.

The only odd thing I noticed was that pages on which I was still  
logged in, showed the generic bookmark favicon, while pages that  
logged me out showed the orange SF favicon.

OW 5.1.3b2, OSX 10.4.3.

It's really puzzling me, because previously I've had a SF tab open  
most of the time, and had no trouble retaining my login, or logging  
in at all. Mostly it logged me in automatically. I can't work out why  
I can't login, nor why I can't find a project when I know its name  
(and have been there often)!
