There will be a 1-hour downtime on Saturday, July 2 at 2 pm CEST; 8 am EDT. Services including Activity stream, Subscription, Tag suggestion, User management, and Relay will be unavailable. Blogs and Answers will not be affected.
When I first access the SCN beta, it does not recognize my account, when I click on the profile, my account self populates, but my avatar does not load and I'm not actually logged in as I am not able to follow a blog.
