Thankfully iSketch is ay okay right now, but sometimes it's not. This is the place to post when the server goes down to inform the rest of the forumites about it. :smile: Hopefully it wont get that much use. lol

Edit: Ooops ty mods :smile:

I was on earlier, then it suddenly went "Game connection lost"

I tried logging back on straight away but have been receiving "Server Full" messages ever since.

Is it really full? Or is it down? :embarrassed:

I read your post, Fy, and went to check. It's actually not working for me, either. Though, I'm not getting 'the server is full' message. Looks like it's down, mate.

It could be down for a few hours while Rob does some essential work on the server.

Rob works quick :biggrin:

(It's back up)

-edit- It's down again :cry:

Nooooooo...my manager has gone to lunch. this is my ONLY isketch time....Bring it back!! :sad:

It's 8:00 AM here in USA Central Standard Time, and it's telling me that the server is full, over and over and over.......

Just tried , got on at 2.26pm (gmt) (8am usa cst)

it's up and running, but only 500 people on it.

Just played for awhile, then the fireworks after felidae won went on, and on, and on...... Time to go shower, maybe it will be fixed by the time I'm done.

Seems a bit glitchy today :cry:


One other thing I've noticed today is when you go to the studio, you get this text box field on your canvas. Try drawing over it, or filling around it and it's as if you didnt draw over it/fill around it. The line of the text box is still visible.

BUT, you can draw inside it, and you can fill it. Come to think of it, the location/size of the box is the same as the "Password" field on the logon screen. Crazy stuff...

Empty studio

Is anyone else getting this "problem"?

Ok, the site is going crazy right now! Keeps jamming, no rooms avaliable as in there aren't even any full rooms, fireworks going on and on. When we warned someone it caused catastrophe and we couldn't even chat!

Just tried the studio thing Fy_nyte and same thing is happening! Very strange.....

lol, that's hilarious Fy. Wait it out,

It could be down for a few hours while Rob does some essential work on the server.

That could take a while...

You can't even stay on and chat because it loses your connection too after a while.

As for the username thing, does that mean that if someone else is on called Sarah, I wont be able to get on? It's a pretty common name.

You can't even stay on and chat because it loses your connection too after a while.


if you stay in the studio you will be able to idle in there for as long as you want or need to


i've just tried to log on and it seems the server is down:twisted:

http://www.task10.com
then click the play isketch button, to use the wrapper you have to register but its really simple

Just tried the studio thing Fy_nyte and same thing is happening! Very strange.....
I get the same thing as well when in the studio, also all my saved master pieces have gone:cry:

I've been patient, played a few incomplete games, joined in with the jokes and jostled for space in rooms when the server has restarted.

But NO MORE! I'm not coming back until the site is fixed and someone begs me to return!

/me stomps off to find something a little more entertaining

iSketch is currently teasing us all in, then SWIPING us all out!

mean

There are currently some updates going on. iSketch will be intermittent as of this posting. See BB's posting about Rob doing essential updates.

Lol hun, is it getting to you, it really dosent show at all hehehehehehe

Waaaah This is giving me a headache. Darn isketch is playin with my heart again D=

Well im in there right now. and im winning hehehe:razz:

As for the username thing, does that mean that if someone else is on called Sarah, I wont be able to get on? It's a pretty common name.

If I'm understanding your problem correctly, then it wouldn't allow you on a name that was already in use before. All they changed was that now it TELLS you and takes you back to the loging screen, instead of just saying it's trying to login forever as it did before.

Is anyone having problems getting on isketch ?
I just popped in and was shocked as only 300 players on, People were talking in chat box, saying getting in the normal way , it's been hacked ?
I got in ok, but I used another link, now it's just crashed on me,
anyone else having problems ?

Yup, jewels, I just had the same problem. I logged on and it crashed 5 minutes later, heh (wasn't me!). A message that contained the words hacking and admin popped up... but I hit refresh at the same time so I didn't get to read it.

Edit: It's working now..

Glad it's not just me jewels. I'm having problems too. A weird hacked message comes up that's it. Grr....why do people have to mess with our fun.

lol

check out the 'hacked?' thread in the iSketch section...


edit

you have to use http://www.isketch.net/isketch.shtml at the mo, the basic portal to the site has been taken down.

=]

ahhh well........back to me knitting :razz:

been kicked off with that trusty the server is currently full message

Think it's gone down again :sad:

I think it would have to come down to be fixed though :D

the page isn't loading for me at all now.

how will i livvvvve?

Getting the 'page cannot be displayed' error from isketch. Anyone else getting this?

yup, is not working for me either.

EDIT: its up!

i tried it on IE and Firefox. it's not working. :|

EDIT: talked to someone who talked to someone who's on.. the usercount is dropping. urgh.

EDIT2: it's working. :)

Isketch failed on me just now. Suddenly, it kicked me out and now the shockwave applet won't load anymore.
For a minute, it couldn't even reach the website http://www.isketch.net/isketch.shtml ! :(

I'm trying as we speak. Anyone else got this problem?

edit: I have no idea what happened, but I can log in and play again, nevermind XD

server restarted at 11:57 am EST

:P

I can't get into isketch. have tried a few different links, they all say server is full.

Server down again...11:38 PM pacific. Hope it comes back on soon. I was winning in 2 words BP :mad: .

Just checked for you - and it is up, back and running now :biggrin:

Server is down 4:45 AM EST

My mum ( jewels ) just tried it, it's working now.

My mum ( jewels ) just tried it, it's working now.
Oh bless you mitch, thanks for letting us know babe.
Cherry hopes your feeling a lot better mitch mitch xxxxxx:razz:

It seems isketch may be down , or not letting any one else log on.


edit: please let me know whether you are able to get on.

Lol, I just went on for one game (and one game only), maybe isketch couldn't believe its eyes and crashed. :razz: (btw, the problems came AFTER I left. Nowt to do with me :P)

It won't let me on either!! It's seen me in the pictures!

My mum's stupid laptop won't go to the iSketch website any more :cry:. I went to the iSketch site once and had to install the Shockwave thingy and its installed now but now when I try to go to iSketch her stupid laptop keeps sending me to those stpuid search pages. I found the iSketch link on there to but when I click it, it just goes back to the stupid search page. HELP!! I need meh iSketch fix :cry:. Does anyone know anything I can try so I can finally get to iSketch?!

It's back up now
and wow already over 1100 players, perhaps it just wasn't letting anyone log on for the time.

At the time you posted this ( or minutes before) isketch was down. Incase it was that , try again now as isketch is back up, hope that was the reason why.

Lets us know, if not I'm sure someone on here might be able to help.

Ahh okies =D. Thank you!! Yay it works now. I thought it was my mum's annoying laptop. Its not doing anything right >_<!

/me feels like a poptart now =s

lol. On the plus side, at least you know that your mum's laptop isn't stoopid :razz:
/me hugs the Bunny

HotPinkBunny, can you show us a screenshot of the page it takes you to when your browser can't find the page you're looking for? I fear you might be contaminated with Alexa or something of the sort...

For the record, Jewels didn't double post, i merged some messages to this thread and they just happened to come out that way.

Booooo. Server is down and I'm bored. ):
I guess I'll just read all the posts I missed. xD

Server still down.

Sorry!, the iSketch service will be resumed shortly. *insert musak here*

09:23 - Server is up and running again!

Right - Hands Up! Which One Of You Buggers Broke It??

Ooopsss....!!!! do you think I jinxed it by suggesting that the iSketch feed was reinstated back on the forum again :S

erm yes tf, must have been all your fault. :razz:

i think iSketch is on the fritz, maybe they're doing work on it or something, its been off and on quite a bit lately

Is iSketch down without the 'isketch server is down' message? I was just wondering if anyone has been able to get on, or is logged on at the moment. I've seen the other messages by Bell and Vik. I don't get any messages, just a lag in logging me on and it doesn't go anywhere. So I was wondering if we've all got this problem :) Cheers.

I can log on hun

Ah, so the server isn't down. Thanks :D It just selectively loves a group of us and would much rather we do some work. ;)

Yayyyyy, it luuuurrrrvveess me :biggrin:

Maybe it's the mac hun...
/me runs

It's 12:23 Mtn Time.. about 1 hour after Ms.Nerd's posting. All seems to be well with iSketch. Try clearing your cache, then try again if you can't get in.

Not working for me. In any of my browsers. Whoa, wait... this means I might have to find something else to do this evening/night? Sleeping at a reasonable hour for once, maybe? lol.

If your problem is 'network connection' then:

Semi-Nontechnical explanation:
As per a previous post, it's the vaguery (sp) of the Internet and how it works.
Hopefully ...maybe... within the next 24hours+, anybody with problems will not have those problems, as the various parts of the internet (of which you+I+mere mortals have no control) update their 'address books'.

eg
I was ok :biggrin:, then wasn't :mad:, and then was :smile: - but I/my computer did nothing to cause that, so don't blame yourself. :twisted:

lol, Thanks JASR :)
And I won't blame myself, or my baby mac. I'll blame everyone else instead. ;)

Has the isketch player count decreased drastically? Heh. It seems like a large lot of us are having problems, because the amount of guests viewing this thread over the last hour or so has been a lot (or that might just be a coincidence)

/me waves at the guests
I'm bored, lol.

I just noticed that too nerdeh! heh
im bored tooo and we cant find friendly nooobs to entertain ourselves :(

/me assumes all guests are noobs and hikes her kilt up

/me hikes her kilt up at nerd, just cos :)

Haha, I think you woke my computer up with that hiking of kilt. It's working for me now :) But I had to log straight back out because guests just walked through the door, ROFL

/me hikes up her kilt for Katie's 'puter ;)

oh wow nerd!! it works now! haha

/me suggests to others whos server is down, that you give it a good hiking. does the trick honest.

Grrrr.. it doesn't work for me though, does it :mad:

/me kicks 'connection problems' swiftly in the footballs :mad:

/me hikes up her kilt and gets Katie to hike up her kilt for TF's connection
lol, worked? ;)

Just gonna try :razz:

EDIT: LMAO! It worked :biggrin:

Thank you Green Goddess!!!!

/me Hikes her Kilt up for TF's connection

if this works, next time we should charge ;P

/me laughs at TF's edit!
I think it's time to charge then :P

On a serious note, glad you managed to get back on. Seems like the problem is starting to get better. Or maybe I'm just speaking too soon, heh.

lol.. yes.. please don't speak too soon! I normally have a habit of breaking the server when I say things like that! Goodness knows what you are capable of!! :razz:

/me flies off at the speed of light in fear of the Green Goddesses reaction to that statement :razz:

Why you little.. clock thingy thing.. lol!! :twisted:

I normally have a habit of breaking the server when I say things like that! Goodness knows what you are capable of!! :razz:

Why you little green goblin, I mean green greenie thingy thing thing :twisted:

I fell out incidentally :S

/me goes off to bed...

as she thinks it is deplorable that Nerdy and Lemon are considering charging for their kilt hiking... I mean, who would pay to see a green goblin and yellow lemon hiking their kilts :razz:

/me really flies off at the speed of light in fear of her membership :eek:

Who would, interesting question. Im up for it if you are nerd.
Any Starting bids??

Any Starting bids??

/me starts the bidding with an empty coke can :twisted:

Oh.. and I still can't get in (looks like I have been jinxed for the night....:razz:) Probably because I am naughty :razz:

For me it's working again :)

Server seems to be down or something. For myself and some other people at the time of this posting. Just thought I'd let you know. :) Not sure if it's official.. the actual page is not loading for me though.

/me waves at all the guests viewing this thread
Go on, you know you want to join the forum. We have treats ;)

That's the only reason I joined this site, for the treats :razz:

I thought I'd got a problem with my laptop again when I couldn't get on iSketch nearly an hour ago. Now I know it's the server, I won't have to go through my laptop configurations like I did yesterday afternoon when suffering iSketch problems.

Some players are having problems at the moment and we have informed Rob

i can get onto isketch fine

/me runs

there's only 500 or so players on

Oh! I can play too.

/me plays

So much fun! OMG! This is great...

Rob says that the webserver has crashed - which means that anyone who wasn't playing when that happened may not be able to get on. He's working on it.

I was in the studio.pressed/find ..couldnt find one buddy:eek:

So I refreshed thinking it maybe it had frozen again .since there werent mayn players:embarrassed:

/Slap my stupidity and noobness:cry:

/me Cries!!!!!!

I NEED my Isketch!

i've been lock out after i refresh my browser too. that's y i'm here... ~_~

well, just hope it'll be alright soon. =]

All seems to be back now :biggrin:

Thanks for letting us know, BB! :) Wow, it's quiet on there, heh..

Ha, I logged straight on about 6.30 to find 71 players on. Reminded me of 28 Days Later.

Reminded me of 28 Days Later.

iSketch reminds me of that a lot of the time... :eek: lol

Is the server down? or is my computer being shoddy?

can anyone else get on?

Sapphire.Lemon is also unble to get on....
Ill just keep drinking in hope.....

I just tried it and got on, though there are only around 300 users at the moment (maybe it was down and it is now working). I'm sure it'll work for you both soon. Try clearing your cache and then rebooting the computer too. That might help it a little.

/me cries
Tried all that, and still cant get on
*sobs*
Dont tell me I'll have to do some real-life stuff for a while.....:rolleyes:

Me to saph :(
tried all that (although knowing me i probably did it wrong)

im suposed to be out now though,
/me sits and waits for her extreeemely unpunctual friend

hopefully it'll be up tonight :)

Edit: its working on IE now!

If you can't get onto isketch at present, it appears a few of us can't, although there are about 350 players in there at present (so I'm told) once you leave you cannot get back in. I have been told (rumour only ) that Rob is aware of the problem.

Best thing is, if you are in there DON'T LEAVE.......

Can you all try to get in, if anyone can please post here. ty 10.08pm bst

Nerdi and I are logged in :D

I just managed to log in, jewels, :) Just after you posted that. The user count is in the 300's still.

Edit: lol @ itt2ch.

I just tried and no joy, but then YAAAAAAAAAAAAY I was in, but left cos no one was on :biggrin:

LOL I just tried again, and now it's working.

ty
Panic over it's working

log-in page is taking forever to load...:rolleyes:

Oh not working again now, poss the mad rush, everyone trying to log on at once. Please all leave it for 10 minutes, let me log in first, my needs are greater:razz: (skip hint, omg wtf, ) I need my fix.

LOL I just tried again, and now it's working.

ty
Panic over it's working
I just clicked on the link leader of the pack, OMG jewels you are so clever and oh so funny babe.
I am still sitting here pmsl, i think its the dogs doo darsss:razz:

nope can't get in

Server is down.

Posting this at 7:04 pm MDT. Been down for about 20 minutes.

If you are trying, keep trying, but Rob is in Sweden and probably sound asleep :sad:.


Seems to be working now.

Awwwwwwwwwww gawd nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Please dont let it be down tonight i have a date with cunny_funt in 2 word big pic.
Fingers legs arms all crosses. XXXX

I've been experiencing some lag and i think the server crashed. Spoke to a few people on msn and they lagged out as well.

No luck for me either. :(

edit: I lied - working now.

Seems the issue only lasted 10 minutes or so. It's back and normal.

I keep lagging big style in isketch, why does this happen so much lately???>

Same here, connecting from Australia, sometimes can't login, then when I can it isn't working properly.
Can't complain really, I had a marathon session in Science before it broke :)

oops! sorry OldBloke! i deleted my previous post just now (abt isketch rooms all not working and i can't log in and stuffs... =PpP didn't know u'll reply after me, lol.)

isketch is now fixed! try going online now! =D

edit:
=( it keep losing connection... and the timer screwed up again... it won't stop even the timer ends, so every round the artist have to hit done themselves and at the end of the round u won't know when is it gonna restart itself when each game ends... and there's total less than 10 normal easy rooms. :eek:

*sigh* and then i suddenly got lost connection again and again... =(
guess it's not fully fixed? gonna stay out for a while, hopes it get fully fixed later... =(

it's broke again:(

Is iSketch down? I'm getting a message that my browser can't open the iSketch page. My sister is getting a failed message too, but a different one. We're in the same house, so I wanted to check if there was an actual problem with iSketch, or just us. Cheers :)

"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage":sad:

I can't open the page either Nerdy, so not just you.
Unless it's just us....

Ah, thanks for that :) It'll probably be up and running soon.

I wanted to fit in a game or two while I was sitting down on a break. I guess I should go and do some work :D Heh.

iSketch is down.
iSketch 'Up' is in the realms of 'length of a piece of string' scale

Some suggestions in meantime:
Housework - VV
Planning Wedding - Nerdy

Lol JASR! I'm all sorted :D Just the odd thing here and there that needs to be done. *sigh* I'm not an addict to the game.

/me crawls away from the laptop

Hmmm yeh, still can't get in :cry:
I suppose I could just go to bed and try to get over this horrid head cold.....
See you all tomorrow then :rolleyes:

I was in earlier - then I pressed refresh in my browser and I couldn't get the page to reload. Gutted. :cry:

Eugghh, the one day i finish early..!

still down for everyone?

Site's back up for me, I've been on there for 15 minutes now.

I get a blue background now... progress... i guess... not the front page yet though...:cry::?::!:

Now I have the front page - it can't be far off!!! Cross fingers!

Gone again :cry:

same for me too =(

eye spy with my little eye something beginning with................

I'm iNNN!!! but its quite epmty in here :)

It's fluctuating a bit. Seems it's online now.

Anyone else having problems logging in or is it just me?

It's just my browser playing up :rolleyes:

XD, i dont normally post on here but w/e

oki, technically, the server isnt down right now, but isketch is being really messed up....a bunch of rooms are stuck on round 0/10 because the timer is being really weird

at first it was just that after the timer ran out, it didnt go straight to the next round so we had to kept pressing done.....but now its stuck after we finished a game

anyone have any idea whats going on?

Nope, but this has happened quite a few times before. Also, in the room I was just in, the draw stayed up after the person hit done.

its happened before?....btw, i just got logged out of isketch.....meanieisketch.....

can someone tell someone to please fix it?, its the only reason why i dont have to do me hw now XD :P

rob is on the case :D

*sigh*, thxies :P

haha, then the forum went down as well. Is that a first?

did it really?, i wasnt paying attention........

Yeah, it came up with a "exceeded limit" warning. Ho hum.

huh, i didnt get one though.......
.oh wells... i'll just go off and hang in the arcade till rob has fixed it......
or until someone kicks me off this comp...

whichever comes first

probably a good thing, seeing as though this bottle of Pinot Noir is rapidly disappearing and I still have to cook dinner.

lol, its back...and the rooms are filled XD
thxies

Still dead here. Have fun :biggrin:

Still dead here. Have fun :biggrin:

Clear your cache

Thanks BB, and thanks for running round the rooms last night restarting games to make it a little less painful.

Has iSketch gone splat? Or is it just me? (I've tried all my browsers)

Cheers :)

Isketch is not working for me it keeps saying Connection Problems. Check your network settings or try again.

I just got on with no problems.

Ah, thanks. So it's an iSketch problemo. I was worried for a moment there that my shockwave might have messed up. :X

Edit: What's the usercount like? Maybe some of us are experiencing problems, but some might be able to get on still.

I'll do the regular checks, dump cache, etc.

User count = 799 at the moment.

Edit: maybe its just a mac problem???:twisted:

heh, I cant get on either.

4:58: still getting error message... :|

im concerned by the lack of posts in this thread.... has everyones gone back to normal except mine??

I cant get on still

I still can't get on either, Katie.
It is effecting a small proportion of us.. I've done all the things I can think of.

Ah well, I should go do some work, anyway :P

Snap Jodie...
on top of that, mine seems to be getting even worse, i cant even get the isketch background on anymore, all i see is this, and it says its 'done' :

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d14/ktwoodwood/Wtf.jpg

when this started happening i re-installed shockwave and restarted the computer, still nothing. :(

*get severe drawbacks*

That's what I've been getting the whole time. It loads up just to that part of the program. No messages, etc. (That happens with me on the three browsers I've tested. Safari, Firefox and Camino).

On Firefox I get Not Fount. The requested URL /i2.html was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.



On Internet Explorer I get the same as what Katie gets

18.32 usercount is 1300 players

Same screen as Katie on Firefox :sad:

I know whats happening. Some websites wont load and some do. If you have Virgin Media like me then theres you're problem :)

Yeah I have Virgin Media

I know whats happening. Some websites wont load and some do. If you have Virgin Media like me then theres you're problem :)

Yes, at least 2 UK ISP's Easynet & 1and1 have also had trouble today, and it seems to affecting VirginMedia as well.

Virgin cable Status: http://status-cable.virginmedia.com/vmstatus/summary.do & http://status-cable.virginmedia.com/vmstatus/dailyupdate.do

Hmmm, yes, Virgin Media here too....

But everything else seems to be working :s

Ah.. I'm on Virgin Media too! I knew there'd be a drawback to being pleased with their fast internet services :P And like Rusty, everything else seems to be working fine for me too. Guess it's just one of those things.

Ya know, I considered it being a virgin media problem at one point, but I thought I was being stupido :(

Thanks for the info, guys :)

I'm intrigued why though. Is it a port problem?

Still down for me is it the same for everyone else

Yup same here, Virgin Media again :(

Yep, it's definetly virgin media, thought it was my ISP from the beginning to be honest -.-

Oh well, i guess where all like one big unhappy cyber familly, right? :razz:

/me is with Virgin Media....

No problems here!:razz::razz::razz:

It makes me feel alot better to know that its not just mine thats not working

Virgin Media seemed to have fixed their problem.

I'd guess it was a router.

(That's what Rob always says anyway :razz: )

Woooooo,

screw you inklink

Yay its working

Do I spot a pattern here? I tend to be the one that bumps up the thread :S I'm not addicted...

Anyway, iSketch isn't working for me. :|

Is that my problem, or is anyone else having it? Cheers! :)

:mad:isketch isnt working for me! I'm sure I typed the url correctly..but it still doesn't work..all it says is"this page cannot be displayed.."

http://www.isketchforum.net/un-official-server-t1313.html will help you.

At the moment it looks like a server problem, cause a lot of people can't get on (I'm on and there's not many people on there).
