   Good move! For SW development related articles I like DZone much more, than Digg.

   Eh, if only DZone would really store my login information not to login very often.

   Ha! I have that same problem, and it results in me not logging in at all most of the time.

   Even when I tell firefox to remember my password so I can just hit login it doesn’t work… I think it is because of the lightbox…

   After they have implemented Lightbox login, I had to write simple GreaseMonkey script to take plain login page back. I now try to post its code here; not sure if Blogger engine won't break it.

   // ==UserScript==
   // @name DZone plain login page.
   // @namespace http://www.unchqua.ru/ns/greasemonkey
   // @description Take back plain login page.
   // @include http://www.dzone.com/*
   // ==/UserScript==

   // UL which holds "log in" link.
   var ul = document.getElementById("mh_login");
   if (!ul)
   return;

   // All A elements in it.
   var anchors = ul.getElementsByTagName("A");
   if (!anchors || anchors.length == 0)
   return;

   // URL prefix to participate in link search.
   var URL_PREFIX = document.location.protocol + "//"
   + document.location.hostname
   + (document.location.port > 0 ? ":" + document.location.port : "");

   // Look for needed A and replace its href attribute.
   var anchor;
   for (var i = 0; i < anchors.length; i++) {
   if (anchors[i].href == URL_PREFIX + "/links/loginLightbox.html") {
   anchors[i].href = URL_PREFIX + "/links/login.html";
   anchors[i].className = undefined;
   anchors[i].onclick = undefined;
   break;
   }
   }

   Hope this will help.
