Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

legacy.skritter.cn

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

Web app problem in China

Roland   March 20th, 2013 4:49a.m.

I am currently having quite some problems with the Web app (skritter.cn) from China. I am almost unable to write characters using a mouse, it can't recognize strokes, especially not those with a hook. Did anybody encounter recently similar problems or is this only my PC?

Hi Roland, I am in Beijing and it works just fine.

On my Win7 computer, IE automatically updated itself to version 10 some days ago. Since the update, I can no longer write with a mouse. But Skritter still works fine in Firefox and Chrome.

Thanks for your feedback. I have the problem on XP + Chrome/IE in the office, where the internet connection is awfully slow, and on Windows 8 + Chrome at home, but here only sporadically (sometimes skritter.cn is also here slow and causes problems with writing). Seems to be a multi-cause problem.
