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.
