I'm seriously considering subscribing to DDI. But today is Saturday, my prime gaming time. When I try to open DDI all I get is

Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a03e9'

Out of memory

/default.asp, line 0

Now for $50 a year I expect an entertainment website to be up during prime time weekend hours.

I make my own living online and have no problems using online only media. But honestly I wish Dungeon and Dragon were available as print magazines.

Ok, I guess its my fault for using Firefox. No VBscript error when using IE7

It should still work for Firefox - this is something WotC needs to fix.

i was just up again, when you tried with the second browser. this error is happening server-side, nothing any browser is responsible for.

The 'www' was probably missing from your URL. I saw this same problem myself.

It's not firefox. It's their servers. I had this happen to me a couple weeks ago. They have either maintenance or capacity issues on the weekend, I can't quite tell which. If you reload it a bunch it tends to come back to life.

This is one reason I'm truly hesitant to go with digital tools at a gaming table. I can't afford a game to stop because the WotC servers decide to puke up some bits.

Its not their servers either. They just didn't have the top domain and the www subdomain pointing to the same place, or working together properly.

They seem to be working together now.
