Tons of problems attempting to set up feeds. Keep getting the setup sequence over and over. Then the problem screen. Even tried to process a charge, twice, for premium and got the problem screen. Both Chrome and Firefox

The system is really overloaded at the moment due to the sudden influx of Google Reader refugees.
If you provide your username Samuel should be able to check out the situation with your account.

I can fully understand the influx from Google Reader. I canāt understand why they would āretireā it given the millions that Iām sure are using it.
Iām having the same problem, although I can see it says I have my 38 feeds but the bar on the left just says āeverything is on itās wayā¦ā.
Username: excy.
Just tried again. The account is active, but the setup screen is stuck at the offer of free and premium accounts. Iāve clicked on āsubmitā for the 12 free sites, and thatās as far as I get. Just stopped there.
Iām having the same problem!

Guys, itās a one man dev team, who was up all night trying to handle the initial influx post-GR. Everyone, myself included, is having these issues but you can see from the real time stats on the front page that usage has exploded 10x within one day. And thatās because it looks like exactly what everyone wants to supercede reader. Heās clearly currently asleep, and Iām sure he will be on the case as soon as he can once heās awake/stopped crapping himself at the number of messages/emails/tweets heās received in a matter of hours.

I donāt think this will be common knowledge to everyone but itās good to know. I am patient, thanks.
Thatās kind of what I figured. This will be a stressful few months for him, Iām sure but wowā¦ business-wiseā¦ congratulations to him!!
Being a Google Reader refugee, Iāve only begun tinkering with NewBlur, but so far the interface looks great. The site isnāt really working that well, but I totally understand the server overload issues with so many trying it out and imagine things will settle down in a couple days.
in the mean time, Iām investigating some alternatives. Feedly seems to work pretty good, although their Chrome interface doesnāt appear fully functional. At least I can now get all my newsfeeds (for free), and they say they will automatically take over from Google when the Google Reader shuts down. Iād like to give NewsBlur a chance, so Iāll wait and see how the development goes now that the demand has gotten ridiculous.
