keep up with what's new and what's next
Follow along with iReport staffers as we build a new kind of news site.
If you created a new account on iReport.com yesterday or today and had trouble confirming your e-mail address, it should work now. We discovered a technical problem with the registration process today and have since fixed it. So upload away! If you're still having trouble with your account, please send an e-mail to let us know.
We've just discovered a technical problem with registration and we're working hard to fix it. If you created a new account on iReport.com in the last 24 hours, you most likely were not able to confirm your e-mail address. So any new stories that you've uploaded have been stuck in a "pending" state. We expect everything to be back to normal early this afternoon. Please check back here on the iReport.com blog for updates.
We noticed this afternoon that the Pizza in Peril story, posted
several weeks ago, had mysteriously disappeared from iReporter
thepizzaman's "My Stuff" page. After some digging around, we think
we've figured it out: "Pizza in Peril" got caught up in another fix
we were making to change the "highest rated" and "most commented"
list views on the iReport.com homepage. We adjusted the number of
days a story will stay in those views from 30 to 15, and the change
inadvertently affected some users' "My Stuff" pages. Watch for the
missing pizza -- and other stories that may have mysteriously
disappeared from your own "My Stuff" page -- to reappear early next
week! In the meantime, you can always go to the tags page and click
on pizza to reveal the missing pie.
Speaking of the tag cloud page ... looks a little like a tag
fog, yeah? We're working on improvements to our tags page to make
the most interesting topics stand out more. The most frequently
used tags are now more visible in the tag cloud than they were
before. They are also ordered alphabetically by default. You can
still see the classic sort view at any time by clicking "sort by
popularity."
