The New Sudoku Players' Forum

It might be coming back up. http://www.sudoku.org.uk seems to bring up a home page, and http://www.sudoku.org.uk/kakuroflash/kakuro.html brings up a blank kakuro puzzle grid.

the site is back, up to a point!
Daily sudoku page seems to work http://www.sudoku.org.uk/Daily.asp
I can access my history from there. I work a couple of weeks in advance on dailys and extremes and these have all been updated on my history.
The puzzles and competitions tags appear to work.
But the advance puzzle link gives a server/run time error.

so mostly good news!!!

More and more seems to be available. Printed todays. No future puzzles yet. What happens to missed puzzles in the Experts list?

The site has been up for a couple of days now; but I just discovered it's running on the wrong time. The cut-off for submission is supposed to be 12 PM EST or 5 AM in UK time. However, I just tried to submit the puzzles for March 19 at around 9 PM EST: they weren't accepted. Instead the site is showing the March 20 puzzles.

The Contact page on the site isn't working, either, which is frustrating. Means I can't tell them there's a problem.

Advanced puzzles are back!!

Hi,
I've noticed the advanced puzzles from July 2nd resulting in the 500 internal server error being displayed for the daily sudoku puzzles. For the extreme sudoku puzzle number 667 keeps appearing after July 6th no matter what week you choose. Did anyone find a contact for site maintenance??

[Jones_the_block]

Advanced Puzzles from 2 July 2019 are down -500 - Internal server error.

Also for Extreme Sudoku the same puzzle number is generated from 8th July onwards.

Did anyone find someone who fixes this website?

I'm reopening this old thread because sudoku.org.uk has been down, in part at least for a few days now.
I normally access through sudoku.org.uk/Daily.asp and this is being diverted to http://www.sedoparking.com/search/regis ... oku.org.uk
which is no help.
The good news is that the site is still functional e.g. it can be accessed through http://www.sudoku.org.uk/AdvancePuzzles/Default.aspx
from there, you can access puzzles, upload and see that the site is still checking the uploads.

Seems fine now. Not sure what happened.

I'm now even more confused ....
I am using Windows 10/Chrome. Accessing the Daily page from bookmarks still does not work.
I Googled soduko.org.uk and accessed the home page from there, which failed.
Then tried the Daily page, which worked, so I copied this link to my bookmarks; when I try it from bookmarks it does not work.
Not a major issue for me so (lockdown) life will go on!!!

Sudoku.org.uk has been down for a week.
Is this the end?
I keep getting sent to sedoparking.

The Kakuro page doesn't work at all. It just displays a blank grid. That hasn't changed for years now.

Cannot get to the the site.

It appears that the Web site has been taken over by the devs for a phone app called CoolSudoku. All of the links on the tabs at the top of their page go to the site for the app (which has had pathetic ratings over the last 18 months). The daily and weekly competition puzzles (including archives) are still available as of this writing at the following links:

http://www.sudoku.org.uk/Daily.asp
http://www.sudoku.org.uk/jigsaw.asp
http://www.sudoku.org.uk/killersudoku.asp
http://www.sudoku.org.uk/WeeklySudoku.asp
http://www.sudoku.org.uk/WeeklyJigsaw.asp
http://www.sudoku.org.uk/WeeklyKiller.asp

I did not check to see whether the puzzles are actually new, or just recycled. The Techniques page at http://www.sudoku.org.uk/SolvingSudoku.asp also still works.

The Daily Minis (Sudoku and Killer), Hitori, Nurikabe, Kakuro, and Sudoku-X appear to be gone, as are all of their flash-based pages ( "Play Online", the "just for fun" Sudoku, Kakuro, and Jigsaw puzzles, the solvers, crosswords, and codewords). The "Future Puzzles" page for advance puzzles also appears to not be working. My guess is that once they get "enough" people submitting competition entries via the app, the entire site will go away, or else be devoted to just the paid puzzle packs and publication sales.
