Saturday, noon EST, go to blitz and it is empty, not working. If I hit offer game, nothing happens. Anyone else see that?

Did you check the help box at the bottom of the screen?

At the bottom of which screen? There is no help box on Blitz that I see and nothing saying help at the bottom of the RHP screen, there is a help line at the top of the RHP screen. Is that what you are talking about?

I went to help at the top of the screen and found help forums which had a message about blitz and there were two messages there saying blitz was dead and no reply so I guess that answers my question. Poor Blitz is dead.

The box is labeled "Blitz Beta provisional help." It's below the blitz window.

Blitz Beta provisional help
The application may take a few minutes to load on a slow connection the first time you visit RHP Blitz. If after a short wait, nothing changes, then please check you have the most recent version of Macromedia Flash installed.
Unable to connect? This is probably due to a firewall blocking the required port for blitz chess to work correctly. Port 1935 must be open. You will therefore be unlikely to be able to play in your workplace.
Note : All blitz games are currently played unrated. Only your correspondence games will impact your rating.

Ok, I know what you are talking about but I have used blitz for years and it just died.

Can you check to see if you get in? If so, maybe I need to upgrade flash.

There was a problem over the weekend. Blitz is now back up.
