The issue affecting group assignment for some new user signups has been corrected. New accounts should now receive the proper group creation callback during signup. We will continue to monitor the system to ensure everything remains stable.
We’ve completed a major (and expensive!) backend infrastructure upgrade. Users can now expect alerts to be posted to most platforms within about 5 seconds of issuance. WxThing Flash users can now receive alerts in as little as 2 seconds.
This upgrade significantly improves speed and reliability, helping ensure you receive critical alerts as quickly as possible.
