When joining the hn_feedback, the edit button seems to fail:

Chrome on Windows 7. Seems like none of the buttons (like delete) work, either. I don't see any activity other than people in the chatroom. Just a black center screen.


Yeah. That would be floobits dying under load. Basically, you can download the static resources from our webserver because they are cached, but you can't retrieve the meta data necessary to load the workspace from our api because there are over a hundred people in the workspace copy pasting huge chunks of text and deleting them as rapidly as possible.

We are scrambling to fix the problem right now.
