Cannot login to Elance - Mods please help

[browersr]

I still have one client with an open contract on Elance, but I have not been able to get into the site since yesterday.  I login using LinkedIn but when I click on that button nothing happens.  I've tried multiple browsers with the same result.  Can a moderator here please check this?  I need to be able to communicate with my client.

Thanks.

I just checked for you and it auto logs me in, so the site isn't dead just yet. lol

Jennifer, do you use LinkedIn to login?

No, I use the login username I created on Elance with my password. Sorry, should have specified that.

Hi Scott,

Sorry about that. Let me reach out to Elance team about this. Can you still log in using your username?

Thank you, Valeria.  I cannot login using a username at least not with the same credentials as with LinkedIn.  Since I didn't create a separate login outside of the LinkedIn connection (that I can remember it was a while ago) I am not sure how it would have those credentials.

Scott, can you please make sure you allow pop-ups for Elance.com in your browser, since it may be the reason you can't log in with your LinkedIn credentials.

Let me know if it works.

Valeria,

It isn't a pop-up issue.  They are allowed and I have been logging in this way for months and nothing has changed on my end.  I did enable some web debugging and here is the error it is throwing behind the scenes.  Hopefully it can help to get to the bottom of this:

"NetworkError: 401 Unauthorized - https://api.linkedin.com/v1/people::(~):(id,formatted-name,email-address)"

FYI - The error above is turning some of the symbols into emoticons when posting here.  I thought inserting it as code might help with that but it didn't....

Valeria, thanks for getting someone to look at this.  They have confirmed a problem with access to the LinkedIn API.  Fortunately I was able to login manually after a password reset.  Thanks again for your help.

I am glad to hear it was resolved and you were able to log in, Scott.
