Well, I can't even log into my account(s) on Mt. Gox.  One I just created (and could log into earlier).  

So it's not surprising.  

Do they still have an account recovery page?  I just sent BTC to my new account.  Now I can't access it.  ;-(

Try to send ail to mtgox support.

They can help you I guess.

Yeah, this thing is a major bummer.  It's one thing for a site to get attacked and/or hacked.  That happens.  So they got caught with their pants down.  You can forgive that.

BUT ...

This business of constantly rolling back the "new" launch date speaks of far deeper issues.  Similarly, whatever is going on with accounts.  I mean, how can you let someone create an account, put "money" in it, then have that account rendered unavailable within an hour or two?

I must be the only knucklehead in the world who put money IN to mtgox today instead of taking it all OUT.

Lesson learned.

It's understandable though, they don't want to create a situation where those who get in first can make big bucks. The 1 day delay between site opening and trading allows people to make BTC or dwolla / LD deposits, therefore trading can start at full steam.

Note to other exchanges: Try not to be like MtGox

After I did my last trade on there (sell) I had zero bitcoins on the site and I took out the cash in a whole dollar amount. Just checked, and the change is gone from my balance. No big deal as far as financial loss, but it sure doesn't build trust.

But it's getting less and less understandable to have this perpetual rollback of start times.  Even less understandable today is the lack of clear announcement (eg., there was no info on the main page stating the latest pushback to tomorrow).
