Project pages are blank.

Project pages on Scratch 2.0 used to load for me, but now they are completely blank. The editor won't load either, but all other pages will. Is it a problem with Adobe Flash?
I am using Google Chrome on Windows XP

I get this problem too. If I keep trying to load the project, it will work again.

Just wait for a while; up to 3 minutes, it'll work. I get this all the time.

Also just try clearing your cache. That often helps.

Woah, really? We gotta figure it out then!

One thing I suspect it could be is that each time we update the Flash project player / editor you need to re-download the entire file – think it was 4 or 5 mb last I checked. If your connection is slow, perhaps the could account for the delay?

Does this often happen the first time you login after Tuesday or Thursday afternoons? (That's when we deploy changes / updates that should force a re-download of the Flash .swf.)

It'd be great to nail this down - then we might think about giving a prompt of some sort to let people know what's going on.

It happens every time, actually. But I tried reloading the page, and that worked. Also, it started working perfectly after I cleared my cache.

Oh great to know! We made some changes so people shouldn't have to clear their cache as much anymore. But it's a good thing to do anyhow, if things are acting weird.

If you see this problem again, definitely let us know!
