No, that is not the case.  If I pull up this page while I am logged
in, the link changes to "Logout" instead of "Login".  But the "Logout"
link doesn't work either.  I have to go to another page to login,
and I have to go to another page to logout.  Typically, I click on
the "Finance" link to go to the Finance home page, then I can login
from there.  This link is on the left, under the headings

Home
Autos
Business
Careers
Finance  <---

I thought this problem might be an obsolete version of a cached page,
but I cleared all private data, including temporary files, reloaded
the page, and the problem persists.  Hmm.  I wonder.  Maybe they
have a slightly different version of the page that gets displayed
for out-of-network vs. inside-network connections.  I run Firefox
under Windows on my work computer, which is coming in to the WOW!
system from outside their network.  I use epiphany-browser and
iceweasel on my home computers under Linux, which are coming in from
inside the Wow network.  (I have a WOW! cable modem in my house
from which I receive network connectivity.)  Would you like me
to send you a copy of the HTML source as viewed by my home computer?

I've tried this on two different computers running two different
versions of Debian (Lenny and Squeeze), and of course two different
versions of epiphany-browser.  Results are the same.  The fact that
you cannot reproduce the problem is baffling, unless you and I are
not seeing the exact same version of the HTML source.
