I have the same problem as well. I didn't really want to create the account from my Google Account but would still like to import my feeds from Google Reader. If I click import it just hangs on the "Importing" page, which is odd as there is nothing to import.

It's mentioned a few times on this thread...the importer is just really busy and you'll be prompted for auth as soon as your turn is up.

You'll be prompted to authorize when your place in the queue is up. The importer queue is insanely busy right now so it'll be a little while.

Any chance to have OPML import? Will definitely remove a lot of load off of the Google importer.

The text says "You can safely navigate away from this page while your feeds are being imported " so it's confusing some of us who have not initiated an import.

Good luck with it!

Oh, that is implied that once you start an import, you can move away.
