Update 2:45 MT: Looks like we've fixed the problem. Let us know in comments if you're still having problems. And welcome to our new readers.

***

There have been many e-mails from readers since Monday saying they are having problems creating accounts at TalkLeft. They get a message that their IP has already been registered for an account and there's a limit of two per day. We just changed the limit to five and the same message comes up (with five rather than two as the limit.)

We went to a new caching system over the weekend so some pages now load statically rather than dynamically (or something like that) to speed up the site, and since then, we've been getting these emails.

Colin, our webmaster, says it may be related to the new caching system and he hopes to have a solution shortly.

Thanks for your patience, and please use this thread for any issues or questions related to TalkLeft.

of new accounts. This place reminds me why I started going to blogs to keep informed.

It's too rare lately.

I had that problem trying to register yesterday and after just after midnight (in an attempt to be first on my IP). I did, obviously, get registered this morning.

I'm glad y'all are working on the problem.

Finally got through to create an account today. This site is great. Thanks to you and BTD for all the hard work you do to create a civil and sane little corner of the blogosphere.

Tried registering a few days back. No luck. Tried this morning. No luck. Tried a few minutes ago. Bingo.

Thanks!

why can't i see the '0' in the rating scale (as a newly trusted user). do i have to switch the way i view the rating scale or something?

tried to email webmaster@talkleft.com a few days ago. didn't go through.

thanks!

As usual, I figured I was just having another one of those tech-challenged moments.
