    The 2017 site (2017.cipherchallenge.org) is broken. 2016 is fine, but 2017 is an error page. (Chrome version 69.0.3497.100 on Windows 10).

    In the Teachers Pack, the ‘Rewards and Prizes’ section says:

    Winners will be asked to provide information about how they cracked Challenge 8 in order to verify that their solution is their own work.

    Should this now refer to Challenge 10?

    EDIT (Harry): YES it should, excellent catch. Thank you!

    I also can’t access the 2017 website but I don’t have an error page, I get the page which this website came up with while you were updating to this new page. This makes me feel like you just moved that exact thing to the 2017.cipherchallenge.org web address and forgot to revert the message saying it is under maintenance?

    EDIT, Harry: thanks, this should be working now, though we are having some problems with last year’s leaderboard which may take a while to fix.

    The website doesn’t work very well with Internet Explorer, for example the forum comes up as grey text on a black background, text positioning is weird and the dropdown menu arrows are unnecessarily large; it’s not a major problem if it’s just not designed to work (I can use Chrome instead) but in previous years Internet Explorer always has worked.

    [EDIT, Harry: Thanks Kalikali, not our intention to break IE. Could you tell us which OS and which version of the OS and IE you are using so we can take a look?]

    It may be deliberate, but all the images seem to be the Roman themed ones from last year. Should they have been updated?

    This is the old enemy of designers everywhere, the browser cache (or, if you are using a local proxy server, some local cache). We have cleared the caches in our server so those images have not been served recently and are a hold over in the ether. Could you try clearing your browser cache and get back to me? Thanks,

    The link on

    to get to see the previous years’ challenges is not working.

    [Edit, Harry: I think the gremlins have been excised. Could you take a look and see if it is working now? Thank you, Harry]

    The link is still unfortunately not working. I am on a Mac and I have tried it on both safari and firefox, so I believe the problem is coming from the gremlins, who apparently weren’t all captured (By the way, the link it is giving me is

    , if it is of any help.

    [EDIT, Harry: That link is working for us. If anyone else is having trouble could you let us know by emailing details and a screenshot. Thanks.]

    I seem to be unable to accept requests for users to join my team. I can click accept which refreshes the page and gives the notification saying “The team member has been added to your team.” If I click OK, it resets and the team member is no longer in my team and their request is again pending. If I instead quit the page, their request is not accepted and their request is pending once again. I tried clearing my browser’s cache and trying again but the problem was still persistent. I’d appreciate any help with this, thank you.

    OK, so I just reloaded the page and it suddenly worked, so let’s just say it’s magic and ignore what I just said, shall we?
