Regarding the current delays in posts and engagement metrics appearing

First off, sorry about that. Second, it’s not just your blog.

In good news, while the delays are a pain, in the end they stand for good things being afoot. We’re getting through the bulky part of converting to a new feeds system. The end result will be bigger, better, faster (though I am told it still won’t allow really awesome posts to go up to 11 — sorry).

From what we can see at this point, the work hasn’t fully broken anything, just slowed down the functions that grab new posts and their engagement metrics. We’re not missing the data, we just haven’t processed it yet. But we will.

Things should be working properly, and much faster, within a couple of days. Until then, there are only limited things we can do, so mostly we’re really grateful if you could just be patient a bit longer.

Of course, if, once we’re into next week, if things are still looking way behind for you or something else appears to have gone completely pear-shaped, please let us know. (When things are done and working properly, we’ll be in touch.)

    It's into the next week now. Is the new system up and running yet?

    Duncan, it's 80% of the way there, we're still catching up on updates. It might take another 24-48 hours before the system is completely in sync. Apologies for the inconvenience!
