Hey, is anyone else having problems with the site? On both the .com and .cn I'm getting errors whenever I try to study.

I'm having the same problem here!

Me too, I was studying quite a bit today and then this popped up when I came back for a second round.

It's the same for me. Hopefully the site will be back up soon.

I also got that message

Me too. :(

Me also! :(

Same here.

私も！

Same problem here! Hopefully it will soon be fixed.

Also waiting.

Aiya :O

Awful timing! It-s the only time I can sat down in the week and study.

Yeps

Same here

and the links to blog and forum on the error page are not working...

mm... too bad... still down

Same to me :(

it seems there are a lot of frustated 'skritterers' out there today! I see the queue growing and can do nothing about it...

大家好！

If you haven't already, consider using Anki, pen and paper, as well.

yep, still down. so going out to enjoy the spring in Spain ;-)

aww, shucks.

6:00 AM EST Sunday and I'm ready to finally to a nice long session - - no go. 500 Server Error and the Skritter mascot has passed out. What a bummer.

I'm going to enjoy the spring in Spain too ;) Or maybe cooking omochi...

Having the same problem... :(

web site alawys out of order

Me too :S

Haha, did you guys call Nick's cell? Hope its he's not sleeping. 507-254-3346.

It's apparently Google's fault:

The Python runtime was affected by a bad push to production this morning. Service has been restored to some lingering applications now and we are working on a post-mortem describing what went wrong.

Hi guys. This was my fault. I'm sorry. I made a totally stupid little typo, tested what must have been the wrong version of the code, put it online, and went to sleep. Our error emails didn't fire on this one for some reason.

I'll be crediting all of your accounts for two days, and I'll make sure that our notification systems don't fail on this class of error in the future.

Sorry guys!

me too

me three

沒關係！

As someone who has used Skritter (albeit sporadically) since the beta test stage, I've been amazed at how smoothly the site development has gone with so many features added in a reatively short time. While these glitches may be inconvenient in the short term, I appreciate the Skritter team's efforts and open communications in the bigger picture. It certainly has been a valuable tool for me.

I agree with Randy. :-)
