Technical Support v2 [READ ORIGINAL POST before posting]

There are some issues with the host right now causing some problems with connecting / logging in for many users. For now there's nothing you can do, just be patient and the devs will sort it out as soon as they are able if the hosting company doesn't first.

Happened again right now. Am I the only one or is a widespread issue (like yesterday)?
Tried on every browser, different reactions but same story. On Firefox and IE the words mentioned above, on Chrome the page loads indefinitely (or very slow) and only shows blank screen.
 
1. Windows 7
2. Chrome
3. Internet explorer 7. Seems to work OK on IE 7.
4. 3 days ago.
5. ShowstoppaNMB

"Site temporarily unavailable

It happened on Firefox for me: error id: "bad_httpd_conf"

Haven't been able to go in for just about a week now. Can't do it on Chrome or IE either.

Just try opening showdown and refreshing your browser; that's what I had to do. If not try clearing your cache, maybe? (though it shouldn't be necessary).

"You have been disconnected - possibly because the server was restarted." <--That one.
 
The server is down for everyone at the moment. The other servers are up though if you want to try those out.

This is usually a problem with a firewall somewhere between here and there.

If the main server link doesn't work, try: http://showdown-80.psim.us/ - it might be better, but it might also be worse.

If both of them have trouble, it's most likely that your internet connection or firewall has banned the kind of connection Pokemon Showdown uses. Please ask a network administrator (or call your ISP) and ask them if they can unban it. If they can't, there's nothing that can be done.

Once you reach the page that says that the site is down, just refresh a bunch of times and the real page will come up. Multiple other users (including myself) have experienced this same problem on different providers and refreshing always helped. So yeah since there are multiple people here experiencing this problem I'll rewrite it in big bold letters. It would be cool if a mod could put this up into the OP.

ATTN: If you are trying to connect the PS and you instead get a page that says "Site Temporarily Unavailable" with an error id of "bad_httpd_conf", simply just refresh until the site connects. That should solve the problem.

But... we're both using the mac download. There's no refresh button to click. The website works fine for me, but my teams aren't saved there.
 
Stuck at "Joining Showdown server"

1. OS: Windows 8
2. Browser: Firefox 20
3. Others: Chrome, IE. They all act the same
4. Username: DTM
5. Whenever I try to access Pokemon Showdown, it load the library, client, and connects to the server, but I can't seem to join the server. I don't know if this is just an internet problem on my end, or if I somehow got banned. If I did get banned, I would like to know why, but if not then I would like an answer please.

Edit: It started around 6:30 pm PST on April 21, 2013 by the way.

Edit 2: Nevermind, it seems to be working again. If anyone did something to fix it then good job to that person.
 
1. OS: Windows 7
2. Browser: Google Chrome.
3. Also tried IE 10. Can't find the error code there, but the same behavior.
4. Never been able to get on PS with this computer.
5. When I try to get on PS, it says "You have been disconnected, possibly because the server was restarted." Viewing source on Chrome and looking at the errors gives me this: "WebSocket connection to 'ws://sim.smogon.com:8000/showdown/596/e_n51im6/websocket' failed: Compressed bit must be 0 if no negotiated deflate-frame extension "
