BB housekeeping: brief comments downtime tonight.

BoingBoing's sysadmin extraordinaire, Ken Snider, reminds us of scheduled downtime for all BB commenting features and new posts tonight, sometime between 12 - 6AM Eastern time (9-3AM PST). "Total downtime isn't expected to be more than about 15 minutes," he explains.

HEY! Maybe THIS is a good place to ask this? Why can't I add anything to my favorite posts lately??? I've tried on a couple different articles (one several times) and after I click, and it says "favorited", it never shows up under my favorite posts. Is the a limit on the number or anything? Thnx.

What's with this Flying Dutchman post? It appears mysteriously every day or so, then fades into the mist. And I was on a (self-imposed) time out.

I think you're over reacting.

Jake0748, I'll see if anything's up on our end that may be causing your issue.

Thanks.

Hey Ken,

Is there any way you guys can let us get RSS of our favorites?

@8, Jake -- sorry about that, this is a bug in our favorites plugin, we're working on a fix asap.

and @11, that's a great idea, and totally possible.
