Google Adsense appears to be broken

Google AdsenseWell, the Adsense team blogged about Adsense being down today, but they apparently miscalculated the amount of time it would take to be back up and running.

Tomorrow, from 10am to 2pm, our engineers will be performing routine system maintenance. You know the drill: you won’t be able to log in to your account during these 4 hours, but rest assured that we’ll keep serving ads to your pages and tracking all clicks and impressions in your account.

4 hours for me has become 8. And now the site is back up, but all it does is continuously reload. I can’t even try to log in…

Kind of a bummer…

    I am getting an error in IE today after the outage. It worked fine yesterday, but now IE6 is saying a script is causing the site to go slow. If I take out my adsense code it works fine, but it gets the error if I put the code back on.

    Martin, are you seeing any errors on other sites such as mine?

    I still cannot log in to Adsense by the way…

    I have not been able to get into gmail for over 48 hours. Does anyone know when it will be available again?

    Here is my update:

    With regards to Gmail… it’s working fine for me and I have had no outages for at least a week.

    Yesterday Adsense was down for me most of the day. I can now pull up the site in Firefox (www.google.com/adsense), but in doing so all that happens is the Adsense login goes in to a continuous loop of attempting to log me in via my Google account. The problem is that I do not use my Google account for Adsense. I had Adsense long before Gmail and I’ve always used a different e-mail address.

    So what is happening is the Adsense login area just continues trying to reload and log me in, even though I do not want it to do this. I simply want to log myself in.

    Today I opened Adsense up in my Epiphany Web Browser, and was able to login with no problems.

    But I still can not do so via Firefox because it is trying to automatically log me in.

    Not sure what changes they made yesterday, but I don’t like them.
