Hey, just a heads up on our Day 1 status. I've made some tweaks to the moderation script to handle the surge of users we've gotten, so modpoints should start flowing more easily. I'm making a few more tweaks right now that should get this working as expected (I am going to have to purge out the point in system to reset the script though, so if you have modpoints right now, don't be surprised if they suddenly vanish into the ether.
We know there have been some issues with both registration and submitting stories. On the registration front, some of our emails have been marked as spam, so if you're not getting them, check spam filters. In addition, for the last half an hour, we had a problem with a human confirmation check breaking, which just got cleared. We'll keep you apprised of any updates to this. As for story submissions, this looks like an artifact of a human confirmation script that got re-enabled when we went live. It should be working properly now for logged in users, as well as AC, though I'll be keeping an eye on it. I hope to have a more verbose tech write-up of the site sometime tonight.

Tables are read by screen readers as "Table Col 1, row 1 [content], Col 1, row 2 [content], Col 2, row 1 [content], Col 2, row 2 [content], Col 3, row 1 [content], Col 3, row 2, [content]" it headers are set they're read as well. The advantage being you can have the Col row read back to you if you're lost in the table. Div tags aren't read by the screen reader. Short on time, gotta go.
