We need to run some tests on one of our server that has been a little bit capricious lately... The tests will be run tomorrow morning (23.01) around 9am. Expected downtime for KAYWA blogs: 30 minutes max.

UPDATE:
It's now 2:35 in the morning and the problem could be solved. The server is up and running again. We still investigate what caused the crash though.

23:28: Right now, one of our servers is having a problem and some blogs are currently offline. We'll try to fix it as quickly as possible. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

This morning from 8:00 to 9:20, this site and about 1/10 of all our blogs were unreachable. This was due to a hardware defect and we had to exchange it physically. It took therefore more time till the servers were again up and running.

Our datacenter will be shutdown to install new equipement on Friday morning, March 17th. All KAYWA blogs will be unreachable from 4:00 am for approximately 2 hours. Sorry for any inconvenience this might cause you...

Since last tuesday, we had a heavy traffic increase on all our well-known blogs which slowed the Kaywa blogs down. After analysis (which takes always longer than we wish), we started to act.

The Kaywa Server is still too slow, so tomorrow we will move more parts to other servers and we hope to get a satisfactory situation for the Kaywa blogs again.

The Blueblogs have the move already behind them and the response time is again ok. Intrinet Blogs never suffered.

For your information:
With the new release around mid-february the Kaywa Blogs will be fully migrated on ever more powerful servers. So the situation will only get better. Still we apologize for any inconvenience caused so far.

UPDATE 4 minutes later, we are back on track.

We have a small technical issue on certain blogs. We are working on it and hope things come back to normal very soon. Time is 10:00.

Second step to face traffic growth is to move physically our servers. At 10.15am (Swiss time) this morning KAYWA weblogs will be offline for a maximum of 10 minutes. Sorry for the late notice and thank you for your understanding.

We will be working on our servers later this afternoon. Users might experienced some problems to access their admin interface but blogs will always be reachable. We apologize for any inconvenience... UPDATE: Everything went fine.

There is a new theme called Strasbourg. Go to Settings > Design (Themes) and get it.
