Can't log into Appbrain from phone.

Neither my wife's phone or mine will connect to Appbrain to view, create or update lists. I can go to the Appbrain site and see my history stream but the list associated with the phone hasn't updated in months. Whenever I try to access my lists from the phone I am automatically taken to the login page where I have the option of google+, twitter or facebook. I don't use google+ and have always just logged in with the google account on the phone. When I try to login I get the message "An error occurred while logging you in. Please try again later." I have uninstalled and reinstalled a couple time without any change. I also can't figure out where to get help directly from Appbrain.

I would think it was just my phone but the same thing is going on with my wife's phone. They are both EVO 4G LTEs. I'm planning on swapping out my phone in a couple months and would like for Appbrain to be working before I make the change.
 
I hit the sync button in the appbrain app and get a screen that says "join the appbrain community" that shows buttons for logging in with google, facebook and twitter. When I press the google button, the screen jumps to the browser and I get the error that I mentioned before, sometimes followed by a blank browser screen except for the words "login successful" in the upper right corner. Then it immediately jumps back to the browser screen with the google, facebook and twitter login buttons again.

If I press the back button on the phone it goes back to appbrain and shows all of my up to date installed apps. When I go to appbrain.com on my pc, the stream shows all of my updates, including ones that have happened recently. If I select my timeline there is nothing shown after December of last year. The last sync date shows December of last year too. I've checked all of the backup lists I have created and nowhere is there anything more recent than last December except for on the stream page. I have wondered if appbrain has connected to an account for a second e-mail address I use to back up my table but I have checked and there is no crossover between the two accounts.

The same thing happens if I try to sync, look at more lists, change notification events, etc. Sync interval has been set to daily the whole time. I would like to check the login settings so I have tried to manually sign out but it appears that it signs back in without asking me.
