Trouble registering? A fix is on the way. »

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.

Pizza story gone missing?! »

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."
