[support] Weird bug?

That's not a bug, that's the intent.  If the site is offline, no one but an 
already-logged in UID 1 administrator can use the site, on the assumption 
that UID 1 is doing something tricky that requires exclusive access.  

To forceably un-lock the site, try running this SQL command on your database:

UPDATE variable SET value = 's:1:"0";' WHERE name='site_offline'

That changes the offline flag from 1 to 0, and should give you the site back.

Cheers.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas 
Jefferson
