On the homepage of MakeUseOf, I cannot log in with any of my accounts. When I click on, lets say Yahoo, it say "Failed Invalid API". Why does it say that?

Help me please! And one more thing, I can log in after coming to "QUESTIONS & ANSWERS" section.

Were you able to fix it by clearing your cache? Or do you still see the error? I am presently logged in.

I dint try clearing cache as all the browsers failed on home page.Now I cleared everything on opera including cache, and still seeing the same failed invalid api key message.Can you test it with other browsers or by logout and trying to login from homepage in the same browser.

Ok,If you check the URL of those social media icons on the homepage, they all have the similar url.https://socialize.gigya.com/socialize.login ?x_provider=yahoo/facebook......Which I think appears when there is some error with api.while on other pages, it successfully opens the login windows of respective sites without the api id problem.
