Quick Notes From Behind The Scenes

Hey, just a heads up on our Day 1 status. I've made some tweaks to the moderation script to handle the surge of users we've gotten, so modpoints should start flowing more easily. I'm making a few more tweaks right now that should get this working as expected (I am going to have to purge out the point in system to reset the script though, so if you have modpoints right now, don't be surprised if they suddenly vanish into the ether.

We know there have been some issues with both registration and submitting stories. On the registration front, some of our emails have been marked as spam, so if you're not getting them, check spam filters. In addition, for the last half an hour, we had a problem with a human confirmation check breaking, which just got cleared. We'll keep you apprised of any updates to this. As for story submissions, this looks like an artifact of a human confirmation script that got re-enabled when we went live. It should be working properly now for logged in users, as well as AC, though I'll be keeping an eye on it. I hope to have a more verbose tech write-up of the site sometime tonight.

    Six to three, I'm loving it. Especially as I started reading in the 4-digit era but didn't sign up until well into the 6-digit...

      No change for me in base 10, but I did drop one binary digit (2208 to 1104).

      I started reading before there were UIDs, back when you didn't need to register. I thought the registration was a fad, so I only registered much later (5-digit UID starting with 1).

      Either that, or my memory is faulty; this all happened last century.

        Old time lurker/AC on Slashdot here, too. When I bothered to register, the user count already had 7 digits, later I lost the password and the authentication system didn't recognize the user nor email address (go figure).

        Where is the bug-tracker? The button to check if a username is available doesn't seem to work (nothing happens). Tested with Firefox, IE and Iceweasel.
