I signed up for Weather Underground using a Gmail account set with a "plus-sign" (+) filter. See this Gmail Blog
entry for details. Depending on who you ask this could be considered an obscure feature, but one that has worked reliably with WU for years. I won't share my email publicly, but it follows this convention, 'text.text+wunderground@gmail.com'.
Since the update when I try to login to the site I get notified that my email/password combo doesn't work. I go to the password reset and get the email with the instructions and the link to update the password. When I click the link the problem is that initially the URL resolves with the plus-sign, but then updates without the plus sign, leaving a space, and breaking the URL.
So it looks something like this in the Address bar:
After Click
After URL Refresh
Resulting Message from WU
