For the past 10 minutes all I get for any idea I click on is a page saying:
Quirky
Aww crap.
We've encountered an error.

@Marc same here. WTF I just submitted and I think voting is down. Great.

I am having problems with the infinite scroll getting stuck in a loop of products.
.
I guess this means Spam-o-Rama was a hack?
Scuba, will you (pretty please) translate the meaning of that gobbldeygook? It is your words I love, not your code :)

they must have worked on the databases, yesterday night i noticed that all of my hidden ideas are now not hidden...grrrrr

All Recent Activity under 'My Account' after 11am yesterday is gone.

@EW, Spam-o-Rama was not a hack. It was just a misguided poster going by hand on every single topic...
 
The problem, I believe, is bugs, over bugs, and patches over patches, on top high server loads (too many users?). I have taken some looks at the public code and it is a bit messy, their fixes seem to add to the mess. They seem to need a few more web programmers in the team.
 
The gobbledegook up there is just a test of Quirky.com from 51 locations around the world at that particular time (when I noticed the issues). Of those only 1 (Orlando) went through without errors.
