Status Updates

Just a quick update to let the Radar community know that we've fixed several of the problems that were causing Something's Amiss errors, so you you've probably noticed that you've been able to use the site much more reliably in the last few days.

One area that still needs some improvement is in performance. The site is slower than we'd like, and because of this you may have trouble logging in using the Mobile Application. If you continue to have issues with logging in, we suggest that you browse to http://radar.net from your mobile phone.

Thanks for your patience as we continue to work through these issues.

We're extremely excited about the phenomenal growth we've been seeing on Radar lately. Thanks to everyone for your continued use and support. With our fast growth we've also been having some growing pains, and you may have noticed some issues.

In particular, many of you have been reporting intermittent errors and timeouts that have been occurring over the past few days. We've also received reports from some users who are having trouble logging in from the mobile app.

Please bear with us while our engineers work through these issues. During the next few days we'll be working on fixing the more immediate problems, and that should enable you to log in and use the site more reliably. There'll be more work to do after that to help us keep up with our growth and speed up the site, but this first step should fix most of the problems we've all been experiencing over the last few days.

Thanks again to our users for sending us feedback about these issues. We encourage you to continue sending us feedback about technical issues or anything else that you would like to see on Radar. Please check the blog regularly - or just grab our feed - for updates on the aforementioned issues.

We had a little bit of a hiccup with our databases this morning, so some of you may be seeing incorrect times and dates on posts.
