Ask HN: Is noprocrast still working for you?

I'm a big fan of the "noprocrast" setting on HN, but lately it seems like it's no longer functioning, allowing for seemingly infinite procrastination.

Anyone else seeing this issue?

Dang's been doing a major refactoring of the software (which he finally has time to do now that I'm here), so we're seeing a few little bugs come up. We're aware of this one and it will be resolved as soon as he can get to it.

Should be fixed now. Sorry all!

    > It's a way to help you prevent yourself from spending too much time on HN. If you turn it on you'll only be allowed to visit the site for maxvisit minutes at a time, with gaps of minaway minutes in between. The defaults are 20 and 180, which would let you view the site for 20 minutes at a time, and then not allow you back in for 3 hours.
