For some reason I can't understand, the comment form is now gone from the bottom of the "View Comments" page on the blog. Now it says "you must be logged in to comment" which makes no sense, because everywhere I go else on the Secondlife.com site it has me shown as logged in.

I clicked the "You must be logged in" link and it takes me to something shady looking.. "https://lindenlab.wordpress.com/ etc"... like those emails where they say "ebayconfirm.xyz8766.ru" instead of ebay.com... I really didn't feel comfortable plugging my username and password into this page... seeing as the page made no mention of SecondLife or LindenLabs, just an ominous, cookie-cutter looking "W", but I did anyways because I really wanted to post a comment, and I figured maybe I was just being paranoid.

But iit just says "user unknown".. O.o

So.. uhm... I think SL's blog has been hacked.. and someone is using it to collect user passwords and stuff.. Now I need help changing mine before someone walks off with all my lindens and my business.

Sorry for the confusion Winter - Wordpress is hosting our blog to prevent it from getting slower during emergencies - read more here.
