Yes, we dropped support for the "old" OAuth signin URLs yesterday.
The changes to the signin URL were reported on June 27th:
Because we trusted that everyone was using the "login_url" field of
request tokens, and appending "oauth_token=___" to that value, we did
not believe that apps would have problems. The code will strip off
any extra query parameters following "service=v2_prod", which always
appears at the end of the login URL.
However, it appears that many apps were using a hardcoded login URL,
and not using the value provided by our API.
I apologize that this has caused problems. I had checked the server
logs before the change was made, and it appeared that everyone was now
using the new signin URLs. The changes were announced over three
weeks ago.
I will re-enable the backwards-compatibility fix, but please fix your
apps as soon as possible. Supporting the old signing URLs is less
efficient from a database POV than the new ones.

The complete OAuth process is documented here:
http://www.etsy.com/developers/documentation/getting_started/oauth
Specifically:
"The response will contain your temporary credentials, including a
field called login_url with a URL that will allow the Etsy member to
approve your account access. In your finished application, you could
present this URL for the member to click on, open the URL in a new
browser window, or automatically perform a redirect."
The Google Group is the only and official channel for changes to the
API. We also sent an email to everyone with a Production API key,
using the email addresses on file with Mashery.
As I mentioned before, the change was meant to be
backwards-compatible, and I apologize that it was not in some cases.
best,
