I must have caught it right when they fixed it then, because I got in via IE right after giving up on Firefox.

Yeah I caught it on IE right before it went back to the shockwave movie error. At least my daughter got to see her guy going around the Mall.

At least it's a sign that they are fixing it. I tried it on 2 other accounts and it didn't work on either. But hopefully they will fix in completely.

I tryed 2 times with internet explorer and it's still not working *sniffe* at least its good that other people are shareing the same problem i'm haveing.

Did you try clearing out your history and browser cookies? If that doesn't work, well, I dunno what to tell ya.

stellareyrie · 06-20-2007, 06:52 PM

but in Internet explorer it tells me that there was a proplem communacating with the server, while on my AOL it just gose backwards. I even tryed on the public library's computer!

o.o this may sound really stupid but...erm...uh....How exactly do i do that? o.o I've never done that before...

Sparky · 06-20-2007, 06:56 PM

If it was really a problem communicating with the server, then the issue is on their end, I'd say.

(And stellar, re-read the rules please. You're not to back-to-back post like that. If you make a post and want to add something within a few minutes and there have been no replies, use the Edit button. I merged your posts.)

o.o Oh ok yah I guess I cant do any thing about it...

Sorry about the post thing.

I thought I pressed edit but I guess I didn't

One Radical Dude · 06-20-2007, 07:05 PM

Just check back again later, I guess. It's all you can do, really.

Well, this may be some unsettling news.

I tried logging in again tonight (after the day's reset). I haven't been able to log in since the June update. I was all caught up with the last of the adventures in May, so I hadn't logged in once my bars were filled up.

Anyway, I tried logging in earlier, after Sparky said she got it to work and I got in on my daughter's account, and it gave me the same shockwave error on my account as I'd been getting. So just now, after the daily reset, I tried again and got the same error. I figured I'd try her account and sure enough, I was able to get in again, like this afternoon. I tried my account again and got the shockwave error. So I immediately tried her account again, and yep, I was able to log in.

This now leads me to believe that these shockwave errors are tied to certain accounts. Don't you think? I seriously hope it's not because I've been playing this game faithfully since the beginning (except a couple months last summer) and have everything that's current - minus the June items.

Unfortunately, I have no suggestions or solutions, I'm just stating my experiences so we can maybe find patterns and make sense of all of this. Hopefully, just maybe, the Fosters folks (I know they aren't directly related to the game, but I know they read the forum) will see this and get on CN's behind so it gets fixed.

P.S. For kicks I tried my other 2 daughters' accounts - one who hasn't logged in for months (got in), and one who has a couple times within the last month (got the error). So who knows.

Sparky · 06-20-2007, 11:31 PM

I just logged in (with IE again) on my second account and got in okay so that account isn't affected, if it is indeed certain accounts. I've been playing with my Blinky account since the very beginning, though I'm hardly caught up, and I registered the Baskin account several months back and did nothing with it other than to make him an ice cream cone.

And both those accounts are fine (though again, with Firefox, it wasn't a Shockwave error that was keeping me out, it was the thing simply timing out after trying forever to load). Anyways, I've received emails from people who are new to the game who are getting the error, so it's not "only" older players, in any case.

(Some people email me asking if I've heard any news on why the game doesn't work, and some ask me to FIX the game. Lol. Yesterday I got one from a person who wanted me to make the mall bigger.

People are funny.)
