We are holding off on approving accounts for the short term. We found a bug in the new account creation process that means that accounts are being created without the ability to create statuses. The upgrade on Sunday SHOULD solve that, but until we have had a chance to confirm that, we are going to let new accounts wait a bit. We should be caught back up by midweek.
Unfortunately, the upgrade did not solve this issue as we had hoped. We do have a ticket in for support. We are going to wait to hear back on that before we make any decisions on how to proceed. We will keep you updated. Sorry for the inconvenience folks!
