Is it just for group pings? I know Keith had to turn them off when he was fixing them, because of the massive amount of data it had to run through when pinging the bigger groups. I got the impression he's going to try to put it back at some point!
I'm not sure if it's intentional across the board or just for group pings, but I'll double check!
Okay, it should be working on other things, but doesn't work on the https site. Are you on the regular http?
