Just used 3 different browsers with a wireless connection, everything loads perfectly except DA. All I see is a white background with blue text and no images (looks like a simple html in progress with no images). Anyone here experiencing the same problem? Please let me know otherwise. Thanks.
Anyone here having problems with Deviantart?

Not had that specific problem, but i have had a huge problem with the mobile version of the site. A few weeks ago they changed it and it seems to have become completely inaccessible to me ever since, unless there's something about the user interface i'm not getting. The only thing i get when i go there is a message icon and some text telling me how many messages there are, and it won't respond at all to anything i try.

It may depend on what smartphone OS you're using. I've seen the changes made to the mobile version of DeviantArt, and it seems to be more catered towards iOS (iPhone) users.

It's no use, maybe it needs a faster connection and on my region we are among the slowest.

This is Android. I find that very annoying. I suppose the reasoning is that arty people tend to like Apple products. Not that they are justified in that choice, according to some graphic designer friends of mine.

I think the problem is not DA, I just realized I can't access certain websites in a way other than the scattered text you get when a page takes too long to load. I tried turning off and on the router with no results. Not sure if it's the speed connection, but probably some proxy server or something more complicated. It was just fine until yesterday...

'There was error performing your request' Seemingly, DA database is on its limit.

I had that problem a couple days ago, but it seems to corrected itself. I use a jailbroken IPhone 4, running iOS 5.0.1, so I'm going to say it's a problem with DA, since it's working just fine right now.

They probably need to be told that it won't work, so once i can get on the PC, i'll try to send them a message. I get a page with icons and a limited amount of text on it, but can't get any further. It looks neat and as if it's supposed to be there. I suspect it's some feature the mobile browser on here strips out that would enable the user to get further (this is Opera). Come to think of it, i haven't tried the Android browser itself but i'm not optimistic.

Well now its acting weird again on my phone, Safari keeps saying thats too many redirects occur. Poop... This is kind of frustrating considering it was working earlier.
*UPDATE*
Apparently, this is a reoccuring theme among a lot of people on the net, I think it's just DeviantArt. Give it time, I'm sure they'll sort it out.

Well, if it won't work on Safari that refutes my hypothesis. BTW, it worked on the Android browser fine, just after it wouldn't on Opera, so it looks like there's a problem with Opera as usual, surprise surprise.

Ok, the solution that seemed to work for me was clearing out the cookies of the browser and give it a couple minutes. Try it out and see if it helps at all.
I haven't but this does not come as a surprise. DeviantArt has issues everyday, hence their so called 'bug fixes' every week. Most image searches I do fail most of the time.
