There's apparently been some change in the code in the last couple of days in the code that Instagram sends in in response to queries for user IDs. I enabled debug in Instagram manager and it creates log files just as before. I don't have log files from before to compare to but what I got today doesn't look garbled or unrecognizable. I sent a sample log file and report through imristo's website and I I am sure he will post an update soon.
if anyone else have suggestions or information I'm sure we'd all like to hear about it.
