Functioning Character Generator

[defendi]

Is there still a functioning Character Generator for 4th edition anywhere? I logged on to DDI this morning and it's broken in all my browsers. My google-fu has failed me to find a solution.

The DDI character builder depends upon Microsoft Silverlight, and I believe Firefox is the last of the major browsers to support Silverlight.

I just tested this in Firefox 49.0.1 and it worked fine.

You can also Google for 'CBLoader' but you didn't hear that from me.

Thanks, I get the same unknown error in all browsers, including that version of firefox. I'll check into that other thing you didn't mention:

Works fine for me today. I'm guessing it was a victim of the DDOS attacks that happened nationwide on Friday.
