To all- Over the course of approximately the next two weeks RootsWeb will be moving to newer, faster, bigger, more reliable servers. The move will take place in stages with only a few servers/programs/services being down at any one time. Message boards will not be affected by the move since they are housed on Ancestry servers. Mailing lists will be down, hopefully for no longer than a day, when list servers reach their turn to be moved and updated. This will probably occur some time next week. For up-to-date information as to which servers are/will be down at any given time during the move consult the RootsWeb HelpDesk page: http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/ The HelpDesk will be the last to be moved so that it can be kept up and running to inform you about the schedule as the move progresses. It is expected that all messages sent to the list during the move will eventually be sent through but may be queued until the mail servers are updated. If you send a message to the list and don't see your message coming through immediately, or if you don't receive any list mail for a period of time, you can probably assume that the delay is move-related. Please don't write to the list and ask about the move or about whether the list is down. Any such inquiries should be directed to the HelpDesk. Remember to check the main HelpDesk page for the status of the move first. When the move is completed we can expect faster more reliable service. Thanks for your patience. Joan Young, administrator
