Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

legacy.skritter.cn

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

Problems loading 望 when skrittering on the cellphone???

Hi!

I've found that the character 望 for some reason won't load when I use skritter on my cellphone (galaxy s1). First it was 愿望. After writing 愿, 望 wouldn't load. I tried to restart the browser several times, but every time I got to 愿望 it got stuck "loading" (the 3 little green dots flashing back and forth without anything happening) after I had wrote the 愿 character. I started up skritter on my pc and there it worked without any problem.

After getting passed 愿望 on my computer, I continued skrittering on my cell and it worked fine for 30 min, but then I got to 看望, and the same thing happened, after having finished writing 看 the 望 wouldnt load.

Have something happened to the cellphone version of skritter the last weeks? It's not as stable as it used to be, and sometimes the zoom and fit to screen function is really weird now. I think it might have started after that google app engine change.

You might have some problem with caching on the phone--if you clear your cache somehow, can you then load hope?

The stability of the phone version should not have changed more than the stability of the normal version in response to the change, and by our logs the reliability has improved since we migrated. It's possible that there are new performance wrinkles, though--what times of day are you studying?

Can you describe more about the zoom problems? I had to give up a bit and enable user zooming, since it was impractical to figure out the resolution of the device well enough to specify the zoom and not break it for the new devices springing up. But when we allow user zooming, the phone often doesn't listen to the initial zoom specification, either, so it zoom outs further than I want by default. The idea is that you'll at least be able to change the zoom yourself.

same thing just happened with 盼望, 望 simply wont load.
I will try empty the cache.

Clearing the cache worked! Thanks Nick!
