In about 20 minutes (5:15 or so), Slog will be down so our hardworking tech team can update some behind-the-scenes stuff. It should be back online in about a half an hour (that’d be around 5:45) and it will look, for the most part, exactly the same. But the commenting function will be all new–it should be faster, better, and with a captcha to cut down on pesky spam. Hooray!

So when Slog disappears, don’t panic. Just go watch the puppies for about 30 minutes. And when you come back, you’ll see a new and improved Slog! (Sort of.)

Thank you for your patience while we continue to make Slog an enjoyable experience. We can’t do it without you.

  13. Hm, Captcha does seem to be gone all of a sudden.

    Mayhaps the techies have seen the light.

    But the mandatory preview and no-remember-my-login STILL sucks ass!

  47. The RSS feed for posts is also broken (comment feeds are completely unavailable). The latest post there is Erica’s “An idea that combines” but three newer posts can be found here on the Web site.

  48. After I posted a comment from the mobile site (to which I’m redirected after browsing to the former “iphone” site) I was directed to this (remove the spaces, but all the extra slashes are for real) http : //slog.thestranger.com//mobile////?mode=iphone&cb=f2839b555939d13302056552bd8d18c4&view=comments
