Is anyone else having issues accessing their dashboard?

  WP admins are apparently aware of the outage and are working on it:

  Barry et al,

  Do you plan on announcing the cause of the outage on the News Blog?

  Really looks like a back-end DB (or otherwise) timeout of some kind, since it kicked in exactly after 35 seconds…

  I am having the same problem. I thought it might have been because last week (the last time I accessed my dashboard) I changed to a https secure connection, which does cause longer load times for pages, but that’s obviously not the case. It’s 1:50 PM CST and I still cannot access my dashboard at this time.

  Hi Barry.
  I’ve just tried to access again, and am certainly still not able to access the dashboard. However, I use Google Chrome as my web browser, and have just decided to try explorer and to my surprise it is working fine in explorer, so it would seem that there is some sort of conflict issue with Chrome.
  Hope that helps.
  Thanks

  I am having the same problem as robertstrobel: I can’t access the dashboard using Chrome, but I can access it with Firefox. Whenever I try to login, I am redirected to the login screen.

  What’s even stranger is I am an author on two WordPress blogs (agateau.wordpress.com and gwen79.wordpress.com) and I can access gwen79 dashboard, but not agateau.
