Can anyone get this site to work?

My son says it used to work fine, but for the past few weeks it's just a big white box.

I just updated flash, I'm on windows xp, opera 10.10
I've tried to mask /identify as the other browsers, sometimes it will load an ad, but never the game.
It works fine in firefox.

Thanks in advance.

It works in 10.54, if Content Blocker is disabled...

When it's enabled (and game doesn't work), it's blocking the following:
*.googleadservices.*
*.google-analytics.com/ga.js*
*/banner*
*adservices*

In my 10.1 (which doesn't have anything in content blocker) it's just a white box, even though the game seems to be doing it's thing, it's just not visible... and I can't get it to work either... so your options are probably:
1. Upgrade
2. Downgrade
3. Keep using another browser for that site.

Edit: Downgrading probably isn't an option, 10.0 does the same thing (white square)... but it works in 9.64 (not 9.27, 8.51, etc... though).

Working fine for me in 10.1 and 10.53 — The white box takes a second or two to load the flash content. Perhaps there was just a temporary connection problem. Try reloading the page.

It's working if you leave the page open for 1 minute or 2 (!!). Apparently there's some kind of "progress bar" that doesn't show (instead, the BIG white square appears). We might be missleadingly forced to think "nothing is happening", but no: it is.
Once the flash applet finishes loading (or initializing, or whatever), everything seems to work properly. Network activity is off while in the "blank initialization time" process. So nothing is being downloaded in the meanwhile...

Build 10.54 3390/21868 XP SP3

BTW: AdFilter ON/OFF doesn't make a difference.

You might be tempted to send a "problems with this webpage" report, using this option from the "Opera -> Help -> Send faulty webpage report", but FireFox 3.6.4 is behaving exactly the same for me, so it's probably a faulty flash page/flash plugin issue, more than an Opera one.

(My flash version is 10,1,53,38 http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ )

So... what we've learned so far is that all 4 of us get different behavior from the site...

Me: (10.1) Loads intro/ad, shows timer progress... doesn't show game.
Me: (10.54 + 9.64) works perfectly without ad block, doesn't at all with it...
kalimba: (10.1) Similar to my 10.1, but ad sometimes shows, sometimes doesn't.
Pesala: (10.1 + 10.53) Works after a few seconds
Friguron: (10.54) Doesn't show timer progress, eventually does show game.

Side note: my Flash is v10,0,45,2

Opera 10.53 - Loaded right up - whole page maybe 4 or 5 seconds.

Works fine with 10.53.3374 Final on Win7 x64 w/ Flash 10.1.53.38 beta after masquerading as Firefox and disabling content blocking.

Okay, I just upgraded to 10.53 and it's working fine now- I have content blocking on.

Thanks everyone - sometimes I don't upgrade stuff too quickly unless I have a reason.

This new version seems pretty speedy...
