I had to reboot my computer a few times for some installs, and everytime I have
to go through that login process, WHILE I'm permanently logged in LEGO.com
without issue.

Actually, I did have to log back in LEGO.com earlier and it was just one click
of a button, without entering any info, my login information was still present
somehow.

I do sincerely do not believe that those that run BL truly understand that this
is a full time business for many sellers. If they did, they would have, a) spent
the last 3 years testing this since the 2022 announcement and b) rolled it out
at the beginning of the summer slow season so that any glitches that didn't
show up in testing, could be worked out while sales were slow. Instead, they
roll this out a few days before Fall/Autumn and the beginning of the busy season.

I lost track of how many times since last night I've had to type my birth
year and accept cookies - not even logged in! Normal customers are not going
to jump through hoops to use the site. These kinds of mistakes with how this
was rolled out appear from the outside, and from someone who's spent over
20 years as a programmer, to be basic issues that never would have survived living
in a test environment let alone rolled out into production. You're not giving
sellers or buyers much confidence that those who run this site know what they're
doing.

Things hadn't been bad for me until now, but today I've had to log in
again multiple times. I was not asked for my birth year and I also didn't
have to accept the DSA again when going to my orders received page. So that has
at least been an improvement to the login process.

That is the same situation I am seeing as of today.

I stay logged in all of the time, but a minute ago I had to put in my birthdate
and password to open a new tab on my browser. I came here to reply to you and
you know what? I had to log in again to post this. I'm thinking about closing
my store until they get it figured out.

Each time you enter in your birth year (or the year 1900), it means 1 more gummy
link has been removed from circulation

Not sure how the changes made anything better. Having to sign in every time,
add in my year of birth and either accept or not cookies? Waste of time. I
hope they change it and quickly.

Same issue. I have no idea why I have to keep entering in this information. They
need to get their act together and fix this.
