Not working past first level, due to file load issue

iangilman opened this issue · comments

I love the concept of "Pixels", but I haven't had a chance to check it out until today. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working anymore, unless I'm missing something. When I go there, I'm able to zoom the first level just fine, but then it fades away to pure white and there are no additional levels to be seen. I've tried it on Mac Firefox and Mac Chrome, and I've zoomed in at a number of locations within the image, and I've tried letting it sit for a while, all to no avail. When I look in the developer console, I see a couple of files are failing to load:

They both timeout after about 90 seconds.

Thanks for your report! We're having some intermittent issues with the backend. This should now be resolved, for the moment.
