I changed to pool2 in cgminer as you mentioned in the OP. All miners connect to the pool and hash away fine. However, when I went to log in to the wdcpool2 webpage it said the login info is invalid. Neither my email nor username will work with the password I have written down. I got some power to put on the pool once I know I can set my payout.
please pm me with your login details i'll check that
