Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

legacy.skritter.cn

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

skritter keeps searching forever

Hi,
I have about 1000 items to catch up with from 8 lists. I do not ad words and just study "all my lists". every few items skritter gets stuck and keeps searching/ loading forever for the next one. I am in china and I tried .com and .cn, both with and without proxy. can somebody help?
thx

and it get's worse! it's bugged all the time now. let's me do one item before it gets stuck. it is not my pc though. tried switching pc with my girlfriend who also uses skritter and her account works fine on my pc and mine keeps crashing on hers :-( damn!

I have exactly the same problem, and the only workaround I've found is to immediately reload the page as soon as it gets stuck. It has recorded the result on the just completed character, I've checked that with 'My Words', so you don't lose anything.

It's something in Skritter, it's not a .com/.cn issue since I'm in Belgium and eurowatz is in China, and it's the same with Chrome, Firefox or Explorer. I've alerted the Skritter team.

thx for the feedback costeni, i tried to study study my pending items list by list and that works fine. anyway, as soon as i want to learn all my word from all 8 lists, it gets stuck after one or two. hope you can fix this, it's quite annoying.

eurowatz, try it on beta.skritter.cn instead. I've got a bugfix there, if it's the same problem as I found with costeni's account. I'm uploading the fix to the live site later today.

I've added some extra time to your account--sorry about this!

thank you, i'll give it a try and tell you if it worked better later today...
