Ive been getting  the 'sorry sky poker is unavailable' message out of the blue and error 503 or something along those lines.

I was wanthing to play tonight but I don't want to be disconnected all the time and lose my chips. I have noticed a few players at tables have been getting disconnected.

    No probs here, but I use Firefox, it seems to work better for Sky Poker. It's available on free download, google is your friend.

    I think - not sure - that Firefox & IE7 are "approved" Broswers for Sky Poker, & that IE8 will be added very shortly.

    I've had exactly the same in my last game.

    Think there's a bit of a wobbly going on!

    PS- Also had the OP's "503 error" a fair bit this afternoon when I was at work.

    I'm not having a problem using IE8 but i'm running it under compatibility mode, maybe that will help.

    Playing Sky Poker on Mozilla Firefox is the best answer. On IE the chat box is also a bit erratic.

    I also saw that error message this evening Mat, but that's because I'd accidentally started Sky Poker on Internet Explorer.

    Switching to Firefox soon sorted it out.

    I'm not having any of those problems NOW, I think they've been sorted.

    I play via internet explorer and keep getting 10 to 30 second hiccups with the connection. It doesn't help when in a hand. Anybody else having this problem.

    The whole site has just gone down for me, for around 5-6 minutes, with the 503 "Sorry! Sky Poker is currently unavailable". Fortunately, I've just got back on in the middle of a tournament break, and haven't lost too many chips. What's the score if we bust out of a tournament due to blinds when this happens?
