Apparently it's a problem with the BBC-wide Single Sign-On rather than with DNA. Sorry for the inconvenience, everybody.

This is getting beyond a joke now, I've had the lot, five minutes to load and post, white screen of doom, kicked out in the middle of writing a post, 3 attempts to sign back in, it's never been the same since the last upgrade
Congrats on David Moncoutier winning the stage on Bastille Day 
I had my money on Axel Merckx at the beginning

I had a "Welcome, Unknown Hiker" page earlier too, when I was trying to post. No connection with "My Space" that time.
