YPT training isn’t loading. There are no server maintenance messages. I had planned on spending my 1 hour this week retaking the course. A little help please?!
I also wasted time today getting to the same result as above.
Training site doesn’t launch the videos successfully within the sub window when you “launch” a sub module.
Contacted my Council then Contacted National.
Any thought on a efficient way of BSA National letting people know when a nationwide BSA computer system (Training site or Scoutbook site) goes completely down?
Possibly a down status message when you login, etc.
I ask as the modern decentralized model of BSA user support doesn’t work well when no one is communicating about the problem with users around the USA.
This will be my 10th year as an adult leader and 7th time doing YPT.
Spent more minutes on this today unsuccessfully that I did completing the course a year ago (our Council requires it every year which is different than National).
@TimothyRogers’ message noted that they’re trying to get a banner message set up for the outage, but I don’t know what goes into doing that for the BSA systems.
I’m having this problem as well. Also getting a stuck loading bar on the dashboard intermittently. When it does load there is not any “known outage” listed on the site-wide notices.
Have you done a forced refresh of the page in your browser since they announced the fix? I often have to do that to clear out cached versions of BSA pages.
Nope. Still not loading. I have burned a full 24 hour cycle trying to complete this MANDATORY training.
I have used three browsers (Chrome, Edge and Firefox) on one system and two browsers (Edge and Firefox on another system at a different location. Same thing all day.
Looks like a bunch of folks are still seeing issues @TimothyRogers. What details from the volunteers who are having issues would help the team localize the issue?
