I couldn't even get Ancestry to work yesterday. It kept timing out!

Some Rootsweb services have been restored but by no means all. It is a huge task ahead of them. Users may need to have a little more patience (or possibly a lot more  ::) )

Must have been a significant hardware failure to cause such a long downtime. :-\ :-\

I have watched my son sort out hardware problems and restore the data, obviously on a much smaller scale, but it can take days to put back information, sync it up (whatever that is) and get the customer back on line.  So with a site as big as Rootsweb we are going to have to just be patient, their technicians will get there...... ;)

As of right now 9/3/16 4:40 Aust eastern daylight saving time

We're currently experiencing a temporary website outage due to RootsWeb hardware failure. Rest assured, our development and web operations teams are busy working to securely restore the site as quickly as possible.

Our initial expectation is to have the site back up and running on or around March 15, 2016.

We apologize for the disruption and thank-you for your patience. We will provide other updates here as we have them.

So, another week :o :o :o :o :o

Freepages seem to be back online now.
I have not checked to see if anything is missing but at least they are online again.

Cheers

My Freepages site has many pages. This morning I was able to look into every page but NO File Manager available.

Funny thing, yesterday I was visiting our daughter up in the country and was using my smart phone.  Tried my Freepages and it was all there but only lasted a few minutes.

I am really missing my Site.

My Freepages Site is now back

But, something seems different. The detail on my File Manager page is different and seems to be about what it showed back in June 2015.

Every now & then, I take a screenshot of my files & folders as shown on my File Manager.
This morning the detail / the figures did not make sence. I also keep a daily record of page visits and today my visits recorder is showing the same figures of months ago.

Also recently I changed the color of some text on the pages and today its showing the old color.

If you added some new data recently, have a look to see if its still there.

But I'm pleased its back.

I got on to the surname message boards today by clicking on a link which came up in a Google search. It turned out to be  an old message of my own. (After about 10 or so years, it still didnt have any replies though) 😄😄

As a mod on a surname message board, messages coming through thick and fast (post June 2015).
Just playing catch up at the moment!
