Is it just me, or is xkcd.com being non-responsive? Obviously, it has been successfully grabbed from by the BOT, and I even checked a few "is it down" sites... which say that it's up. But I'm getting nothing back but spinny cursors, going to either xkcd.com or any xkcd.com/<number> ...with no other reason to believe that 'it is just me', like other clearly running places also not being reachable in my own case. 92.23.2.228 20:09, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

It worked fine for me on the first attempt, so I guess it's just you. But when I was submitting the transcript here I got a "make sure you're logged in" error. Resubmitting (without having to re-login) worked. Barmar (talk) 20:25, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
And I got the same error when first submitting the above comment. Barmar (talk) 20:25, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
