Clearing cookies was one of the first things I tried, but it had no effect. If no one else is having this issue, then I must say I'm stumped as to what could be causing it. I emailed MacUpdate support and their advice was the same--clear cookies and start over. Maybe I'll try emptying the browser cache as well as cookies and see if that helps.

Edit: After trying a couple other things, I think I've found the solution. Changing site preferences for macupdate.com to allow cookies from other sites seems to have solved the issue. I guess it needs to set a cookie from mupromo.com when I log in to macupdate.com in order for the login to carry over to the different domain.
