Yes, it did, and the idiots that redid the site used an unlabeled button,
with the icon of an abstract person's head and shoulders, as the account
button.  What's even weirder is that once I click on it, and expand it, I
can't seem to enter in to the expanded fields, which include where you enter
your e-mail address and password.

I remember playing with this site not long ago when you were asking about it
then, and I know that button was a text button labeled, "Account."

Just FYI, if I start using the b shortcut, it's the second button.  The
first reads "clickable button" and is the search button.  The second, which
reads simply "button" is the account button.

I'm not happy that they changed the site

And I hope you've written to their support expressing this displeasure (as well as telling them that they need to include labels on all buttons, whether said labels are presented visually or not).

I instantly understood what's going on, as the convention they used is, well, a common convention.  It's what they omitted in terms of making that common convention accessible, which is usually part and parcel of it, that's really inexcusable in this day and age.

Sarah,

            I know what you mean.  But, where money is involved and there are sales to be lost, sometimes a nudge is all it takes.  There's very little point in not extending minimal effort (and labeling buttons is about as minimal as it comes) to retain even a small market segment.  And using the, "I can't buy from you since this change," angle is well worth doing.  If they won't make things accessible on principle, they may if losing money is involved.   And, in the end, the underlying motivation is not relevant, the end result is.
