Please just put a link to your name; don't use your signature if you have a fancy one. Try to be as specific as possible. You can typically find your browser version by going to Help → About <browser name> in your menus. You can find your precise Flash version by going to a toon, right-clicking on it, and choosing About Adobe Flash Player <#>, or just go here. Use 5 tildes (~~~~~) to generate a timestamp.

Have been seeing this problem for a while, but thought that it was a Greasemonkey error or temporary problem. As for my laptop... | 00:04, 26 March 2010 (UTC) |
| Jay | Windows 7 | Firefox 3.5.8 | 10,0,42,34 | All worked. I turned off Greasemonkey on this machine before trying anything, if that's relevant. Turning Greasemonkey back on didn't affect anything, so my hunch was probably wrong. | 00:04, 26 March 2010 (UTC) |

| Power Pie | Windows XP | Firefox 3.0.10 | 10 | Hremail 62 and MAM 11 won't work. On some occasions, a toon will fail partway into the loading screen, and sometimes the video and audio will freeze, but usually if something freezes, it's only the visuals. | 16:57, 26 March 2010 (UTC) |

| Super Martyo Brother | Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit | Firefox 3.6.2 | 10,0,45,2 | None work. Able to load only one frame sometimes, but up to 21 other times. No toon is consistently loading a fixed number of frames. | 20:41, 28 March 2010 (UTC) |
| Super Martyo Brother | Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit | Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18882 | 10,0,45,2 | None work. No Greasemonkey, so I couldn't see frame details. I did hear some sound clips a few times, mostly on 2 Part Episode:Part 1. Usually saw the loading screen on dangeresque 3. Loaded less the more times I reloaded the page. | 21:47, 28 March 2010 (UTC) |
| Super Martyo Brother | Windows XP Professional Version 2002 SP3 | Firefox 3.6.3 | 10,0,45,2 | None work, including Thy Dungeonman. Interestingly, I noticed using the Greasemonkey script that the toons only freeze after they are entirely loaded. I even had a loading screen loop once and caught a bit of the toon before the toon was fully loaded and it froze (dangeresque 3). | |
| MHarrington | Windows XP | Firefox | 10,0,45,2 | Hremail 62 and dangeresque 3 don't work. Those are the only ones I've tested. The same thing happens to me, Super Martyo Brother. The toons load, but then freeze once they start. Strangely enough, other toons I tested have started, including Teen Girl Squad Issue 5 and Sickly Sam's Big Outing. | 15:56, 7 April 2010 (UTC) |
I'm Confused
I think it has to do with abandoning the website. I've seen all of the listed toons before, and they all worked properly. But, when they stopped updating the website, they mysteriously started glitching. Maybe the site needs to be updated for the new flash players and hyped up computers.
- I think it's due to Flash upgrades. About a month ago, none worked for me, but they worked again (minuse the ones I said) once I upgraded Flash player. Ironicly, they stopped working on the same day I downloaded a free trial of Flash CS4 Proffesional. cash money tc 18:11, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
The wiki is not for collecting speculation. That's what the forum is for. Especially when it comes to "abandoning" the website. I'm sure we all have our theories of what is happening, but there is no use of everybody just writing down their wild guesses. Right now, we don't have enough information to determine what is going on. If you look at the data we've collected so far you can see that there are some Flash versions that work for some users while they don't work for others. I don't see any pattern to come to any conclusion here. Loafing

- Unfortunately, the forum thread for which speculation could be used is locked and there is no other one. MHarrington 16:02, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
- Loafing is talking about speculation regarding the Chaps' abandoning the website, which they're obviously not doing. Discussion relating to the toon loading problems is welcome here. When Loafing posted, we had incomplete and conflicting information, but now it seems apparent that Flash player version 10,0,45,2 is the culprit for whatever reason. — It's dot com 16:46, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
- Yes. It's obvious now. Loafing 05:58, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

April Fool 09?
That one works for me, while the others still fail - from the chart above, it looks like either all of the toons on the list fail or none do. --Jay (Talk) 00:42, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, using that same specs as I outlined above, I'm having no difficulties with April Fool 09 and still having difficulties with the others. Don't know when that was added to the list, but it's fine for me. --

- Fine here too. It was added by an anonny, so without more to go on, I think it should be removed. — It's dot com 05:47, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
