i assume you are aware that twitter has stopped showing pings. i really liked that feature, and i am hoping you are trying to fix it! :)

I'm also having a pinging issue -- when I ping (and I use firefox) I have to log in, ping, go to the main page, log in again, and ping again.

Ah, that explains it. Thanks, Ben!

Stlbloggers is living on a temporary server which isn't honoring cookies for more than half an hour.

I'll kick it this weekend.

market at mcknight is mostly empty. don't imagine that's going to change anytime soon with the current economy. they should have left the neighborhood there.

I can log in, but when I ping, it tells me I have an invalid user name.

Before the outage, I never had to re-login from the computers I use most often. I don't think I entered a password for months. Now I have to login everytime before I can ping. Maybe its a different symptom of the same issue?

Ever since that "mostly dead" incident, I have to log out then log back in every time I want to ping. Is this happening to anyone else, or just me?

Stick a "http://" a the beginning of your URL.
