Those of you having problems in Chrome should consider using Tampermonkey. Although some scripts and add-ons work in Chrome without it, the word is that it can make things better in some cases, and I have not heard of it causing problems. The important thing is to uninstall your Chrome add-ons and scripts, then install Tampermonkey so that it can do its thing for all your other extras as you reinstall them. I believe Tampermonkey asks if you want it to get involved or not on a script-by-script basis.

The addons that don't work are the watch this game, PM team and chatglove.

Using windows and firefox latest edition for browser.

And we're back folks. Thanks for your patience during this outage. We're still looking into a few ways to improve performance more.

Is Quick Reply coming back?

Chatglove works, but my BOB and Clickable Maps still seem to be missing from Chrome. I've been able to use them in Firefox, and under my Chrome extensions, both BOB and CM are marked as enabled, but they're still not showing up in the site. This must be a separate issue from the API, though.

Clickable Maps still aren't working for me on Chrome.

Edit: I have to disable all scripts apart from BOB otherwise the drop downs just don't work. Also, submitting from a quick edit doesn't work.

Edit: Using Tampermonkey, if Clickable Maps are enabled before everything else then it works.

Edit: Clickies don't work with Chatglove, Game Link or Map Rank enabled.

Thank you. Out of curiosity what is API and how did it get tampered with without you guys knowing in the first place? Outside attack or something else?

An API, or Application Programming Interface, to my knowledge, is something that allows script-writers to easily work with information released by the site (in this case, the game list part was down).

The problem was that the API would spike, using a ton of CPU! IIRC from my conversation with blake on the issue, it was a database structuring error on our side. No hackers, nor any malicious intent! Blake might be around to fill in the holes of my post.

It seems to be working for me. Have you reinstalled them? Maybe that'll do it.

I have indeed tried that, I also uninstalled all the other addons that i had and they still didnt work along with installing the addon tracker.

it seems odd to me that they work in one but not the other...that said im not really a tech guy
