At least some of the time. Freecell games that are won show the top 10 and current user's scores, as per usual; games that are abandoned with the Give Up button still show the error. Sometimes.
Anyway, progress, and huge thanks as always to @jim & @david!
Freecell: That lasted a few hours for me. Won games now (again) show "Error! The server is undergoing maintenance. Your game has been saved and will be added to the high score table when the maintenance is complete."
But perhaps this only happens for some players? Hitting High Scores usually shows a roster of the top 10 that managed to get stored, and it's often the case that their times of play are within the previous hour. So some people are playing / scoring normally.
I'm playing mostly anonymously now in order to be able to see where my scores fit in with the current crop of players. When logged in I still get the endless spinner upon completing a game.
I'm beginning to think that all the games I have played while the current no-store situation is in effect will never in fact get recorded.
Here's why: say I play three games while logged in. I see a little 3 with a card image in upper right. (Clicking it only causes it to shift to the left momentarily and instantly snap back to the right.) I log out and play as anonymous for a while, then log back in. The little 3 is gone.
So the games have not been stored, and the mechanism that would allow them to be stored once the database is repaired has itself been zeroed out.

For me it worked on Klondike, Pyramid and Scorpion, but not on Yukon. Patience!

Freecell: Now I'm getting the spinner (attached) upon winning a game. It never resolves. Clicking the little number in upper right does nothing.
I tried using a VPN to show up as a different IP address: spinner.
Tried logging out and playing anonymously: the score posted as normal in the context of the top 10.
Created a new account: spinner.
