I'm trying to get into the advanced AI chat, but it doesn't load. Instead, it asks me to export my data, which fails, and leads to this pop-up.

⚄︎ Perchance
This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.
Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)
This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

Sorry about that I think I had a bug - can you please try again? https://perchance.org/a5lshnqjrq
Also, if you happen to have another browser installed, can you try with that too, so we can cross-check against e.g. network issues vs browser extension issues, etc.
Testing your OperaGX browser in "guest" mode (i.e. without any extensions enabled), would also be useful info for me.
If it still doesn't work in other browsers, then, if possible (it's fine if not - just ignore this part), can you tell me the company name of your ISP? I.e. "Internet Service Provider" - the company that provides your wifi/mobile data. There were some malicious uploads to user-uploads.perchance.org which caused some ISPs to temporarily ban the subdomain, but it seems that some ISPs have "permabanned" it, so I'd need to reach out to them to ask them to lift the ban I think.
I tried again, and this is what I got.
When I click to see what the error is, this pops up.
And this is what I see in the console, if it helps.
I have tired using Chrome and Edge, but the same thing happens. As for my ISP, I'm using my university's wifi. University of Houston
Can you try visiting this: https://user-uploads.perchance.org/file/4cc84b2c503aad595e5c6e9fffe24602.js and let me know if there's error or if you see the script (a bunch of code stuff like
(function (global, factory) { ...)If you do see code at the above URL (i.e. no error), then can you use Chrome in guest mode (click profile pic thing in top-right corner, next to 3 vertical dots, and click the item at the bottom "Open Guest Profile") and screenshot this: https://perchance.org/a5lshnqjrq
Also, is this only a problem on your university wifi? Do you have access to any other internet connection to test, so we can determine whether it's specifically the network that's the cause?
I'm not seeing any errors in the first URL.
Here in the Chrome Guest profile:
I don't believe it's specifically my university's WIFI that's the problem; I've been on Perchance using the same network for a few months now on the same device. It also loads fine on my phone when on my school's WIFI. I've connected to the internet on my computer using my phone's hotspot, which has a different ISP, and the same thing happens regardless of what browser I'm using.
Hmm so it's working on Chrome guest profile which confirms that it's not your network - can you see if your OperaGX browser has a similar "guest mode" and test with that?
Since you mentioned that it has the same error in Edge and Chrome (when in 'normal'/non-guest mode) - is there a browser extension that you have for all 3 browsers? You can try temporarily disabling your browser extensions one by one on the extensions manager page of your browser.
This error from your earlier screenshot is not coming from Perchance code, so it might be from a browser extension that's causing an issue:
If you do manage to find the culprit, please do share it here so we can more easily help others with similar issues in the future.
The closest thing that Opera has to a "guest mode" is incognito mode. The only thing that is a constant across all browsers is my VPN, which I've been disabling to access Perchance because I thought that might have been the problem, which it wasn't. I'm gonna guess that @hockeystop was right, considering I've been having problems with the site since I've been having problems since a recent Windows 11 update.
