Anyone Else Having Trouble With Deviant Art? - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

I clicked on my DA website this morning, only to get an "Internal Server Error" telling me that my request could not be completed. I then went to DA's homepage, and saw that I was logged out. I typed in my user name and password, only to be told repeatedly that one or both were WRONG. I sent for a password retrieval message, and got one with the confirmation code. I copied and pasted my code, and I got a message telling me that the code had been accepted and asking me to change my password, which I did, but then got a message telling me that the password was invalid, and when I clicked back, it told me the confirmation code I'd been given was invalid! I emailed their help desk, but it's often days before they reply, and I cannot access my account at all! I've suspected for some time that someone has been trying to hack my account, since I've gotten several "password retrieval" requests that *I* did not make, so someone has apparently been trying to get ahold of my password, and I'm afraid they have succeded and used it to delete my entire account. If any of you would care to try, how about seeing if you can go to my DA account page, http://pitbulllady.deviantart.com and see if it comes up for you, or if you can access any of my pics.

*Well, I went to Antgirl's DA page and tried to access my page and artwork through that, and I'm still getting the Internal Server Error message telling me that my request cannot be completed, which basically seems to indicate that my account has been wiped out! Hopefully, I will hear from DA soon and find out what's going on.*
