As TNH has noted, I added a new login/registration system. To check it out, just log out.
Although, it's not really new. We used it briefly when the new YWS launched in August 2009, but I got rid of it because I was worried about page loading times. Since then, I've been able to bring down load times from an average of 6 seconds per page to about 3 seconds per page. So load times aren't as much of a concern.
However, the real reason I brought it back is because I can use it to make the registration process ultra-simple. Beforehand, it'd take me about a minute or two to complete the registration process. Now that's been cut to ~15 seconds. Plus, one can register now from any page without having to leave that page.
Oh yay! I really enjoyed that log-in thing. Plus, it doesn't take as much time as before. I found a leetle bug. The Login | Register was displayed on two lines. Making it look weird.

Anyhoot, no more finangling with timezones. As long as you have javascript enabled (as 99.99% of you do), YWS will now automatically detect your timezone.
I found a bit of a bug in the login. I always uncheck "Remember Me", and I know I did yesterday, but when I had to log in this morning I had to uncheck Remember Me again.
I know you guys want me around, but I'd like to think before logging in.
A writer is a world trapped in a person— Victor Hugo
Ink is blood. Paper is bandages. The wounded press books to their heart to know they're not alone.
More than anything she wanted the world to be uncomplicated, for right and wrong to be as easily divided as the black and white sections of an Oreo. But the world was not a cookie. — Roshani Chokshi, Aru Shah and the Tree of Wishes
