When it does that, keep trying. You'll get in eventually.

Actually it's the people that keep trying that cause it to take so long to come back up. But I think this is fixed as of now anyway.

On Hypergoatundrum Attacks (and possibly Goatundrum attacks) a 7 point word is listed as a max in the Breakdown By Format.

Hi,

Neither Chat nor Spectate work for me. Are those features for paying users only? Or maybe I need JRE 6 update 7 specifically? I'm on JRE 6u12.

[edit] I'll try update 7, anyway.
Nope, still get
Spectator [Spectator client]: java.io.IOException: An existing connection was forcibly close by the remote host

Also a few entries like
Thread-xx: [Initialise chat pane]: java.lang.NullPointerException

when I start a game.

They should work for you. Try logging in and out a few times. If that doesn't work, try going to the Account page and enabling light mode. If that doesn't work, pass.

Tried all that, and even tried using IE6 rather than FF3.0.5 . No difference.
I saw in another thread that you were sick of bug reports, so I'm a little hesitant to post this, but just in case it's useful, here are some Java log excerpts. Hope they're the right bits:

In goatblitz reviews, the background highlights should highlight who chose the selection like normal 15 rounders, however they in fact highlight your opponent instead.

They highlight who picked the final letter, because that's the important thing.

I didn't think they did - that's my point. I picked a letter for a 9 and it was my opponent's word that appeared bold in the review.

That's a bug, willfix.

Why is this game of mine not on the list of top 10 high scores?

Just realized that they had to be 30 seconds

I know we've had this before, but I beat the max on the final numbers round here.

It's particularly annoying when it buggers up a seriously good run, but oh well.

Nah it's not that, we need someone in to do teas and stuff.

Ah, it's good to see I do have my uses! I can do teas, but what does the 'stuff' involve?!

I can't even get in to do the teas today!
