Did you do a clean install or just an upgrade?

Some say that a clean install is needed if some features don't work.  I'd give that a shot.

For me, I did clean installs on both of my home laptops, and will do the same for my desktop when I get a chance (haven't turned it on in a while).

Or, you could always try a simple reboot.  It takes 2 reboots to get everything working after an install in my opinion.

Yeah, I just saw that.  I guess we should all just wait a little while and see if it starts working again.

Just have to wait a while.  They're working on it.

Not working here.

There should definetly be some kind of indicator in the UI or the plugin to show that the fault is on the server side.

I bet a zillion people were installing / deinstalling the webrep thing a thousand times today, not knowing that it's a server problem...

I'd disagree here. I mean, let's live on the premise that downtimes are rare. And I don't think it's a good idea to notify users or something in such a case - WebRep is not a mission-critical service (that would e.g. deserve a change from SECURED to something else) and having the markups gray (or not appearing at all) is a reasonable way to handle the situation...
