Murphy's Law re-confirmed

So here I am last night, itching for my DU fix, knowing I am a star member... I login, change my password and... error. No matter what I click I get thrown back to the same page.

Now I also know I have my star membership on an automated payment renewal... and I vaguely recall the renewal date is in November. Looks like it didn't renew

This morning I get on the site for real to find 2 messages in my inbox. One says my star membership expired Monday. The other is from the wee hours after I went to bed, informing me of the renewal.

So the ONE time I really needed the star membership corresponded to the several-hour gap between expiration and renewal!

and I thought, uh-oh. Requested 2nd e-mail with new password and it arrived immediately.

Will have to fix that November renewal!
