Free Keyboard Cat!
- Fixed "Account" and "Help" links for Webkit Browsers.
- Fixed youtube tag to work with Youtube links with hyphens in them. The primacy of Keyboard Cat is now assured.

New Offer Provider A/B
Based on user feedback, we're currently testing a new offer provider (Super Rewards) to some of our users. We're hoping that this offer provider will provide more timely updates of offers and pay out faster. If the test goes well we'll roll this out to everyone.

SuperRewards Delay
From about 1AM PST this morning, a server problem prevents SuperRewards offers from funding, even though the offer was completed. The problem has been cleared up and you should be receiving any delayed payments shortly.

Site Outage
Site was down for about 5 minutes today due to one of our database servers failing. We hot-swapped to a spare, and everything should be fine -- no data was lost.

Homepage, tabula rasa
We have a brief problem with the home page today, which is why it is white paging. Is fixed now.

This Notice is Meta
We have swapped in "Dev Notices" to the main home page to replace "Popular items" -- both of you who look below the fold will be sure to notice.

Also, there is now a new accompanying lab feature that will automatically notify you in your bubble if there's a new dev notice for you to read.

Yahoo deliverability problems
We are still working with Yahoo to resolve their e-mail deliverability problems. We hope to get this resolved shortly.(*)

(*) This is made amazingly difficult by the fact that it is impossible to talk to a single person at Yahoo that has responsibility for this -- at this point we are trying direct contact, using our third party vendors, and searching for the name of the girl who dated someone who knew someone in Yahoo Mail Operations.(**)

(**) It's horrible to use Dev Notices for editorial digressions such as the previous footnote. We will now return you to our usual fact-dense terse one-liners.

Yahoo deliverability should be fixed
Yahoo is saying that they've fixed the problem and you should start receiving e-mail in the next hour or so. Please let us know in Site Feedback if it's still a problem after an hour. Thanks for your patience!

Meta is Meta Redux
Two fixes to dev notices:
- should have fixed the spurious "dev alerts" coming up. You'll need to clear the current one (if any) but hopefully it should not be popping up too frequently.
- fixed ordering of messages in dev alerts

Mechanical Turk
We've enabled the Amazon's Mechanical Turk for Super Rewards. Basically, you can do simple tasks that humans are good at (but computers aren't) and get paid for it.

Also: dev notice fixes tomorrow morning, hopefully fixing the bubble situation. I'm sure you will appreciate this message the 18 times that you read it. biggrin

Dev Notices Fixed (Honestly!)
Pushed out a fix this morning, and haven't seen the bubble spontaneously pop up, so we think it's really fixed this time.
