Jessica...don't you think it's weird that we all posted at exactly 8:58? That's because we didn't. I posted at 8:22...someone how all of the posts that are "in cue" are being pulled up at once.

Hi Stephanie, there was a problem with the comments again this morning and I had to manually approve them all. So even though they all came through at the same time, I can see when everyone ACTUALLY posted when I approve them. We are hoping the problem gets fixed soon!

Nope! It is definitely not supposed to work this way. We have people working on fixing it. We want your comments to come through automatically, just as they're doing now. It was just those first three comments I had to approve manually.

I was curious about the whole approval thing too. We're already signed in. I'm guessing it's like the 3 second delay in live TV (thanks to Janet Jackson) so there are no wardrobe malfunctions.
