Very strange...

BTW solving the URLs mess will probably solve the login too.

Yes, we know, this must be fixed.

a redirect from planet.qgis.org to  plugins.qgis.org/planet whould probably do.

Maybe better to rename the main app to web.qgis.org  (or something
like that) and then have a couple of redirections or transparent
rewrites:
plugins.qgis.org ->  web.qgis.org/plugins
planet.qgis.org -> web.qgis.org/planet

etc. etc.

We can ask Werner to make the redirects with apache mod_rewrite.

You could git pull & push the CSS fix, please always add a class
selector which applies to planet pages only otherwise you will
probably break other parts of the site (like happened in the past).

I can load the changes on the server when done.

the whole project is all on qgis-django on github.

Just to make it clear, I developed only the plugins.qgis.org part of
the site, all other stuff (planet, usermap apache config etc. etc.)
was done by someone else (who should probably take care of maintaining
and fixing it too).
