Pretty self-explanatory, I'm unable to create generators, save my old ones, or access them through my account. I've been on Perchance for over a year, and this has never been an issue, but all of a sudden I'm met with this message:
Seems like there was a problem while trying to save your generator. This could be to do with your internet connection, but it could also be a temporary problem with the server. Please copy and paste your generator data (lists and HTML) to a safe place before leaving or refreshing the page, or you could lose your work. If you keep getting errors even after waiting a couple of minutes, please make a post on lemmy.world/c/perchance to see if others are experiencing the same thing. Remember that you can click the "backups" button in the top-right of the screen to download past versions of your generator. Before doing anything though, make sure you copy and paste your data to a safe place! Sorry for the trouble - this stuff happens sometimes :|
This has been going on for several weeks, and not gonna lie, I'm getting kind of worried. I have multiple games and generators on here, and I doubt I can find somewhere else to host them that is as accessible and convenient as Perchance, but I'm seriously considering looking into alternatives. I can't even get the backup versions, because it's just "save" (broken), and account, nor can I access most of my generators, since going to 'view your generators' gives me a "there was a problem loading your generators ¯_(⊙_ʖ⊙)_/¯ check your internet connection? if the problem persists, please post to forum" message.
I've had internet every time I try this, so it's not an internet issue, I can still do whatever can be done with internet... so long as it's not on Perchance. Any advice, any solutions, any reassurances that Perchance is NOT closing, it's just bugged? Because I'm honestly kind of freaking out, seeing as I spent ages coding a game for my books as an interactive storyline, and I can't access that now.
That does narrow it down a lot, thank you. I expected it to work in a different browser, so this is surprising.
The things I'm most curious about next are: (1) whether it works if you create a new account - you should be able to use a temp-mail or other throwaway email provider - and try again to fork https://perchance.org/blank and (2) whether it works on a different internet connection, like phone hotspot (with wifi disabled so it uses your phone data connection) or similar.
