Still can't get on scribbld. Is anyone able to submit a support ticket on my behalf (I can't even do that much, that's how much it WILL NOT LOAD) and see if it's perhaps a problem with my country? Or if there's anything I'm doing that is keeping me out, or anything I can do to get it to work?

(Sorry if this isn't okay. It's tangentially related to RP - people are hosting more and more stuff there and it's limiting the games I can even consider joining if all their stuff is there and I can't see any of it D: )

	Do you want someone to log in for you and do it with your account or do you want someone to send it via their account in your name? Either way, I'll do it for you, bb. Sorry to hear you're still having problems. :( (Reply to this) (Thread)

I don't have an account - I've never been able to make one. I never would have even bothered with them if it weren't for the increasing shift with people hosting more and more things over there - character bios were one thing, because I could always ask the players for a plaintext copy pasta, but some mods are starting to post their FAQs and things there, and if I can't see those...

So yes, could you please post it from yours? my aim is credoinspiritu if that's easier for you to chat to me about the specifics of the problem :(

Thank you.

	i know that many people overseas can't see pages on scribbld, and i believe it had to do with a proxy or something? there are ways to bypass it, but i've heard it's a pain. i'm sorry this isn't much help, but maybe it'll help narrow down the problem! (Reply to this)

I'm in Australia and I have this exact same problem. The only way I can view Scribbld pages is to copy the relevant links and send them to myself, and then just check the links on my phone (making sure its on 3G or whatever and NOT my wifi at home). That works fine, even though it's a huge pain in the ass.

Personally, I've just stopped joining games that host most of their source material on scribbld, even if I really love the concept. It's not worth the hassle. Definitely not the answer you were looking for - I wish I had one, believe me! - but you're not the only one having to find workarounds just to read lists and in some cases, to even access the current cast page.

I've found the solution! Apparently scribbld just doesn't like Antipodeans, which is kind of racist but whatever, haha. The answer is a proxy. www.zend2.com is the one I'm using at the moment, but you can just google proxy servers. Simple as anything - go to that address, and paste the scribbld address in the box. What I like about it is that once it loads the page, you can click links on the page and it opens THEM with the proxy, which is great if you have a site map to open with lots of pages that are hosted on scribbld.

	How rude! Thanks for the link, that's way less of a pain than using my phone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No problem, spread the word! This will help a bunch of people I'm sure. (Reply to this) (Parent)
