StumbleUpon Down or Updating?

StumbleUpon, one of my favorite web surfing & navigation networks, seems to be experiencing downtime this morning.

I’m not able to surf, submit or suggest using the StumbleUpon toolbar or its web site.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Sometimes in the online world, downtime can equal major update (thinking YouTube or search engines). I wonder if StumbleUpon, in the highest populairty peak they have gained thus far, is upgrading.

Your thoughts? What would you like to see StumbleUpon add?

[Speaking of StumbleUpon, I highly suggest listening to this episode of RushHour about Learning to StumbleUpon.]

  1. Seems like StumbleUpon is back up again, off and on, after experiencing database problems.

    I know how that feels :)

  2. But it also seems that the ability to Stumble is not accessible:

    There has been a problem accessing the database. This error has been reported automatically to StumbleUpon. If you continue to get this error, let us know.
    If this still doesn’t work for you, please Contact Us to let us know :)

    SU auto downloaded an update for me today (the second in just a few days) that fixed an issue with the Stumble button not working.

    Maybe restart Firefox and it will update for you?

    Just updated and Stumble button is working fine for me, too. Looks like a lot of changes are taking place this week.

    Not sure what else I’d like to see on the site, will come back to that later.

  6. Yeah, I had to update it. It’s working now.

    I haven’t been able to access SU or the frontpage of SU for the whole weekend on my Firefox, Flock and IE browsers. It’s worse than running out of coffee. I think I might try and reinstall on one of them. I though maybe they had been hacked as there was no warning that it would be down.

  8. Nykitkat says:

    I have also been having the same problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled SU but still cannot acces the site. I did a Google search and tried to go directly to the web site, but that is also not happening. Has anyone else had this problem?

  10. Nykitkat , I have the same problem here.

  11. Nykitkat says:

    SU seems to be up and running again.

  12. Not here it isn’t. Still down.

    Its March 23, 08 and no sign of Stumble now for 2 days . Has it finally got the chop ?
    Who is responsible?
    Grumpy!!

    Is it gone or what? I LOVE Stumble! OMG…what will I do? I cant stumble none! Anyone else having this problem too? H E L P ! ! !

    It seems there are recent problems reminiscent of the comments earlier this year. I have lost everything on my Stumble toolbar except “Start Stumbling” which takes me to my own profile page. I thought it was my system until I did some quick research on the web.

    There is meager info at http://www.stumbleforums.com/

    I guess I’ll just hurry up and wait for a resolution. Funny how addicted I’ve gotten to StumbleUpon.
