Can't access Showdown, am I alone?

Because Wynaut · Jan 31st, 2013, 9:27:52 AM

For the past three days or so, I've been getting error messages when trying to access Showdown or replays.

I can access play.pokemonshowdown just fine, but not the replays or main page.

...

I tried both Firefox and Chrome, to no avail.

I hesitate to put this here instead of bug reports, but since I seem to be the only one experiencing it, I'm not sure where it goes. Sorry if it's in the wrong section.

Getting the same exact problem here.

***Zarel**** · Jan 31st, 2013, 2:06:31 PM

Click "Retry for a live version".

Geranimo · Jan 31st, 2013, 5:03:28 PM

That was the first thing I tried, just sent me back to the same page.

***Zarel**** · Jan 31st, 2013, 8:06:54 PM

There might be something wrong with some cache setting somewhere.

Try Shift+refresh? Try clicking the big blue button a few more times? Clear cache?

Because Wynaut · Jan 31st, 2013, 9:10:06 PM

Tried all three, to no avail. Even reinstalled Firefox to make sure there were no bum settings or anything.

Yeah, Im having the same issue its also on the Honka damage calculator. I'm running Windows 7 and the lastest version of chrome. I tried Firefox and had the same issue.

Because Wynaut · Feb 1st, 2013, 12:23:02 AM

Update: I had to reboot for unrelated purposes, and it started working again. I don't know what was up with it, but anyone else with the problem... Try that, I guess.

Subject 18 · Feb 1st, 2013, 1:10:22 AM

Just tried rebooting as well and it fixed it. Thanks for that

Geranimo · Feb 1st, 2013, 12:49:38 PM

Mine's also fixed but i had rebooted previously.

awesomesauc3 · Feb 1st, 2013, 8:04:20 PM

i'm still getting this problem and i've tried all the things listed here

Geranimo · Feb 2nd, 2013, 7:53:54 AM

The problem has re-appeared.

Because Wynaut · Feb 2nd, 2013, 1:47:40 PM

Nothing constructive to add, but yeah, it's back for me as well.

Dee · Feb 2nd, 2013, 8:14:51 PM

Hmm, I'm having the same problem as well, but it was working just a couple hours ago.

***Zarel**** · Feb 2nd, 2013, 8:24:44 PM

CloudFlare, my CDN, seems to be having some issues. Try the suggestions in this thread, or wait a few days and hopefully it'll settle down..

***Zarel**** · Feb 5th, 2013, 2:02:15 PM

Anyone who has/had trouble accessing PS, can you copy from this page

http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/cdn-cgi/trace

and paste its contents into this thread?
