New user here; started today by signing in with my google account.

I click the 'quest' button and get taken to https://textadventures.co.uk/quest
I click the blue 'Go!' button and get taken to https://textadventures.co.uk/create/new

And then there isn't anything on the page. The empty page.

Tried this on both Firefox and Chrome, and tried again after disabling addons like Ghosterly and Ad Block.

Also a side question: How is this service for group work on a single project?

It could be the server was overloaded, can you try again now?

If it's still not showing, can you see any errors in your browser console?

Tried it this morning and just now, with no change.

Errors on chrome:

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://textadventures.co.uk/create/new' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure resource 'http://quest.textadventures.co.uk/Create/New/'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

adsbygoogle.js:5 Uncaught TagError: adsbygoogle.push() error: All ins elements in the DOM with class=adsbygoogle already have ads in them.

The mixed content one seems to be the problem. Connecting to http://quest.textadventures.co.uk/Create/New/ takes me to a page with only the game creation stuff on it, without the fancy titlebar, or site map, or etc.

https is a fairly recent addition to the site so there will be various issues like this. The https URLs are not linked from anywhere so I'm guessing you're using a browser extension to force it? If you use http://textadventures.co.uk/create/new for now this will work.
