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.
sounds good, thanks for the response!
Should be fixed now. Sorry all!
I’ve noticed the same thing. Horrible for my productivity. Paging @dang
? Wait, what is it?

> 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.
