Uploading a new version of a script to the Vim website

Some time ago, I uploaded a script to the Vim website. Later I realized
I had made a little mistake in the description, so I went to "edit
details" to fix it. The link took me to a login page. I was logged in
already, and my username showed up at the top of the menu at the left,
along with a link to log out. "Some security measurement, maybe", I
thought, and typed my e-mail and my password again. But when I pressed
the "login" button, I was taken back to the login page again, with no
errors (or warnings :P). After trying around a bit unsuccesfully, I gave
up. Later, I tried to upload a new version of the script, and I could do
it with no problems.

Now the story repeats, only the other way around. I was able to change
the description, but I can't upload a new version. The issue is the
same: upon clicking the "login" button, I'm asked to login again.
I have cookies enabled, and I'm certain I'm writing my password right
(an error shows up when I write it wrong).

Maybe I'm just unlucky, but so far, the Vim website login system is the
most bogous I've ever seen.

Has this happened before to someone? Am I doing something wrong? :/
