Known Issues:

Twitter doesn't quite work properly (says authentication failed, when in fact, it never tried).
Steam games aren't always showing in trending.
PSN AKA is unavailable.
The Steam AKA has a habit of grabbing the wrong user data. This can happen when you enter your Steam username as opposed to your Steam URL (they're not the same unless you're a long time steam user).
The shoutbox in guilds isn't working properly.
World of Warcraft Characters don't import properly due to an WoW Armory change.
The link to start a guild isn't displaying. This is because it's currently under construction.
Periodically when browsing gamerDNA.com, you may receive a "Something went wrong" message. As we see these, we are fixing them.
If a game doesn't have all of the needed information in our system, it will not appear on trending no matter how much it's played.
Sometimes the text is hard to read in various places on gamerDNA.com. Member Home Pages is a good example.
The Media section of your profile doesn't let you upload videos.

We have more fixes on the way!
