coconut shy broken?

Sun Apr 20, 2008 10:31 am

All I'm getting after the percent loading is a gray box and a "waiting for *url*..." in the status line. How's it for you guys?

I just played it and it is working for me.

There is still some intermittent glitches with some games probably due to the server move.

I heard that internet browsers may be an issue here. What browser are you using?

It was doing that to me last night, too. I just checked, and it's still not working for me (I use Firefox).

It does appear to be a browser thing, though, because I checked with my side account in Internet Explorer and its loads fine.

It's doing the same for me, just a grey box. Although it has done this before in the past. I am using firefox, so probably you can't access it on that.

It seems that firefox is the root of all evil so I suggest you use another internet browser, such as IE, to play coconut shy.

That game hasn't worked for me in months, grrr. I get the gray box all the time and it bothers me cause I really want the av.

Ah, but IE is the root of spyware, trojans and virii. I would rather a safe computer than one that plays coconut shy; it's a minor trade-off I can live with.
Besides, trying to run IE on Linux is like threading a needle through its own eye...

I want the av too (and I collect evil coconuts) *sigh* It ran fine for months, I had even gotten fairly proficient at coconut shy; enough, anyway, to make a small profit rather than loose NP's, but not win a darned evil coconut. I think the recent spate of updates broke something.

Firefox is now the root of all evil? Oh how the times have changed.

Firefox is the root of all that is right with the world. IE is the spawn of Lucifer. ;)

But yeah, I use FF and haven't been able to play Coconut shy in a long time. :( I really want the avatar, but I loath loading up IE. I wonder does it work in Opera? *goes to try*

eilu, I'm curious, how have you managed to get fairly proficient at coconut shy? I thought it was completely random.

Edit: Yep, got it to work in Opera, yay!

Have you guys considered downloading the FF extension that will make an IE tab? You're still using FF, but that one tab is IE. I use that for some things that only work in the evil IE.

Safari. Or IE.
FF is the root of all evil. I tried it in FF and it didn't work, either.
