The main http server was set to be upgraded today, unfortuneatly I have to rely on other people on this one because it's co-located in Edmonton, and I'm in Calgary...  The company which I'm dealing with seems to have a problem with their phone network, normally, I call and get an automated system which I can then enter an extension and get to my techs, but today, the automated system isn't answering, nothing and nobody is answering...

So, the switch is going to take a little longer than expected, I had hoped to complete it right at this moment, in fact, 30 minutes ago it should have been done...  I've been preparing for three days!

Anywho, the company normally closes at 6PM, it's 5:23 right now, and I'm not sure if their problem will be resolved by then.  I've flooded them with e-mails, so I'm crossing my fingers.

NOTE: This will affect nothing but logins!  That means you won't be able to upload new shit for a day, but everyone will still be able to download, etc.

http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/2/3332

STOP IT!  That is NOT your real URL, and it will NO LONGER FUNCTION when the changes are complete![/glow]

Get your URLs from the 'Get Links' page in your artists administration, those will always work.

Okay, hasn't been 24 hours yet (thank god) and things are looking up.  The companies phone system has been repaired, but of course they are hella busy because of being down nearly half the day yesterday.

Things should be back up (and upgraded) within 2 hours.

Switch has been done (partially), the old DNS record has and expiry of 1 hour, so the changes will not appear to everybody until that time period has passed.

That means I will place the logins back online for testing in 1 hours time.

(Yay)

Report any errors to me ASAP!
