The site itself isn't updated, but you should be able to get in with a couple extra steps:

2. Only for people who know how to use Chrome Dev Tools: "Inspect element", then find and delete this element: <input type="hidden" name="vb_login_password"> before logging in.

If you're not in Incognito Mode, you should be able to just log in once with this trick and stay logged in indefinitely. If you do depend on Incognito Mode, you might want to try a different browser for a while. I don't think it's technically a Chrome bug, but Chrome updates itself all the time (it's up to Version 35 right now), so it's a bit of a moving target for web developers to shoot for. That might be why it seemed like the issue was fixed for a month or two, but it came back. It's extremely unusual to see Chrome's automatic updates causing problems like this, though, which is why I'd bet that the affected login code in vBulletin isn't standards-compliant, but just always sort of worked till now.
That is an extremely common thing in web development.
