Is it just me...or is Seat Counter out of commission?

I've been trying to get on for a week or so, with no luck.

Is there a decent alternative out there?

Thanks!

Depends on what you're using it for. I don't use seatcounter. I use FlightStats:

I've been getting the same message for over 3 weeks now...

Had not been working for me since ~ two weeks ago. I get the same error code as airbus320.

odd, why can't i see flight AC15 on Nov 27 in the list of available flights? it keeps thinking the only flights available are to make stops in Vancouver?!

I assume that they had to turn it off or shut down and are just leaving the front page for ad revenue at this point.

I sometimes run into the same problem, but if I select the correct time of day, it usually then correctly displays the flight I'm looking for. (Also hiding the Codeshares helps cut down on all the 'noise').

e.g. if you run the search on Nov 27 with 'Current Time' selected, AC15 is not in the list. If you run the search with '6am or Later', AC 15 appears in the list.

I haven't been able to get the homepage for the last few days. Before that, about a couple of weeks ago, I could do a search, but couldn't get any flights to pull up (any carrier).

The data source that they used - itn.net - went offline at the beginning of August. Unless they decide to change their system to use the FlightStats data source I would expect it to remain offline.

Same problem here. I just found out about Flightstats a few weeks ago and now it stoopped working as well. I know I could join expert flyer but does anyone still know a free tool out there?

Flightstats is working fine. What trouble are you having with it?
