Something weird with mash-up contests.
By Pepe.Chess, history, 5 years ago, In English

Hi

I have many contests in some group made for training, each of these contests consist of some old CF rounds. These contests are all mash-ups. Today I was opening one of these contests and codeforces tells me that he can't read any of the problems descriptors. Not only that, all the contests I created have the same problem.

Is that a result of some update to the system or what exactly?

I have the same problem too. Just a pop-up appears and says "Can't read or parse problem descriptor"

Whose contest is this? — It's mash-up, baby. — Whose mash-up is this? — It's Codeforce's. — Who's Codeforces? — Codeforce's dead, baby. Codeforce's dead.

Well, this just means something is wrong again, you can check testing queue and see some proofs.

And don't let it make you fool: queue is much longer, I'm watching it for about two hours. But I bet Codeforces team made limit for five pages just to get rid of annoying messages from community. Like "Why Codeforces is down for EIGHT hours???", you know.
