After years of succesfully using the Times crossword site I find I can no longer do so. I can not even post message. This is what I am getting:

"TypeError): PU(...) is null"

Any ideas welcome.

Not just me then. Can you log into the site OK, Aperio? I've logged in but can't do today's or previous crosswords. Open the crossword and get:

"(Typerror): cannot read property (b) of null".

It's let me print today's cryptic.

Yes, I printed out the cryptic crossword. However, I always do the T2 online.

In the absence of a techinal support email address, I've reported the problem to customer services.

The website worked yesterday and since I have not updated any other software, this would indicate that it the Times software has been changed.

Will keep you informed if I find out anything.

Of course those puzzles are available on the Times website I think.
Reading around other sites a fair few have reported it, hope it will soon be rectified.
And vice versa, Icarus.

and go to "Today's Section >> Puzzles"
That works

Used FireFox before so thought I would try IE. Result:

Failed to parse: Logged out
Same result for me trying to use the site in MS Edge, Aperio. Obviously an error in the display and play software.

...and go to "Today's Section >> Puzzles".

I tried this. It is completely different from the crossword site. Importantly, it does not allow you to submit to the leaderboard. It displays congratulations followed by your time.

True.
But I was just suggesting an alternative way to get to the crosswords.
It works!
And it remembers the time I first tried to do it. Little b****r!
