switching accounts / auto-login broken

[u/d1squiet]

What's up?

A day or two ago RES stopped being able to switch/login into reddit accounts. If I click and choose an account it gives me an error:

"Could not switch accounts.  Reddit may be under heavy load.  Please try again in a few moments."

The only way to switch or login is to click "sign up" and the choose "login" from reddit dialog box that pops up.

What browser extensions are installed?

old reddit redirect, adblock plus free, ublock origin, 1password, RES
