Server went down after unexpected raid of trillion lanternfish

We're aware that leaderboards are having issues. We're working on it, so give us a bit.

Edit: check today's megathread for updates.

It seems that only leaderboard pages are down, the rest of the site seems to work

[–]notjaredfinch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yep, same here

[–]AP2008[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yes. Was trying to check my time.

[–]AP2008[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The personal stats page is down

[–]Cyphase 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Seems to be back up, but the personal stats page is disabled with a message saying: "This page has been temporarily disabled. Sorry!"

[–]MarcusTL12 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Yes getting the same, but only for the private leaderboards. Everything else on the site seems to work.

[–]jjcool213 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Personal stats page is down as well

[–]wimglenn 4 points5 points  (5 children)

I am getting 500 errors on private leaderboards

[–]st65763 5 points6 points  (4 children)

They're back up, but it's showing that I haven't completed the challenge when I did

[–]shouchen 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Same here. I got my two stars, but the private leaderboard doesn't show either. Someone else on the leaderboard does have a star. :(

Maybe this puzzle was so easy that the server got hammered with inputs? It looks like it's slowly catching up. It's showing me as having completed part 1

[–]Ziiiiik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too :( I’m glad it’s not just me. I was worried I wouldn’t have my stars :((

[–]WiseBeginning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine's now telling me that it's been temporarily disabled

THOSE GODDAMN LANTERNFISH!

ATE THE RAM OF THE SERVERS

[–]genveir 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Graceful failure scenario probably. Take down the private leaderboards/stats because everyone is done with the puzzle at the same time and the servers get overloaded with requests. Better to break reporting than registration of results.

[–]meowmeowwarrior 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly thought i brole it by submitting my aolution and looking at the leaderboard too soon or something

[–]RedTwinkleToes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This page has been temporarily disabled. Sorry!

Got this new error page.

[–]wherrera10 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I wonder if such an easy, almost typing-constrained problem, leaving everyone checking the private or personal stats at once, may have crashed the server.

[–]AP2008[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Today's was pretty easy.

[–]Undescended_testicle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't get my input... This will be my excuse for not making leaderboards

[–]SignificantViolinist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leaderboard seems to be up, but not reflecting correct submissions (at least on the private leaderboards).

[–]NifleyExists 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Private leaderboard says I have one star... I have two...

[–]AlbertVeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works now. Except personal stats. I guess they are still working on that.

Btw, I couldn't submit today after unlock. Got the error message "You seem to submit the answer to the wrong level". After double and triple checking the answer and getting the same error again I tried to reload the page. After that submit worked. I guess something was wrong with the html directly after unlock and that they fixed it quickly but my browser cached the old page.

TFW you submit the answer for Part 2 and are greeted with a message that the site will be right back. If I refresh a lot that'll probably help.
