Rootsweb has advised us of server upgrading. This will be ongoing for
awhile. Please do not post queries to the list if you encounter some of the
accessibility problems listed below.
----------------------- -----------------------
-----------------------
To improve site performance, RootsWeb will be upgrading its servers during
the next couple of weeks. As a result there may be times when you will be
unable to access portions of the site. Feel free to continue your research
using other
RootsWeb.com or
Ancestry.com
o What does this mean for you? Well, it means some servers will be
unavailable during this time unavailable and we are asking for your
patience.
For up-to-date information about the different resources, you can visit
http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/ as the move progresses.
For Mailing Lists: When the time comes to move list servers, Rootsweb will
be halting operation on the machine to complete the move. They expect to
have the machines down the least amount of time possible. NO MAIL will be
sent from or posted the your mailing lists. They do not expect to lose any
messages.
For Message Boards: Nothing, unless the board happens to be gatewayed to a
mailing list then the information for mailing lists apply.
For Web Pages: FTP will be down so that changes can't be made to pages until
everything is working correctly on the new servers.
There will be a short time that the pages will not be available as the
transfer takes place.
Currently taking place: The following resources are currently disabled or
will be soon, due to the upgrading: WorldGenWeb, personal websites on our
homepages or virtual servers, death records (CA, KY, ME, TX), and
Personalized Mailing Lists (PML). During the transition, Password Central
may show some incomplete listings, especially for Post-em Notes.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while we go through a few
"growing pains."
