{{User:Jake/Talkheader}}
Hi, any idea how long the transfer will take and when we can upload again because, don't mean to sound hasty or anything, but with the new episode recently airing, we would like uploads? Thanks, <span style="text-shadow:2px 2px 2px gold; font-family:Elephant">[[User:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:red">Solar</span> <span style="color:green">Dragon</span>]] <sup>([[User talk:Solar Dragon|<span style="color:black">Talk</span>]] <span style="color:white">'''•'''</span> [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|<span style="color:blue">Contribs.</span>]])</sup></span> 12:31, 5 December 2011 (EST)

:I was worried about the new episode too, so I actually purchased some emergency disk space for the server. I've just applied the changes and switched over to a new kernel, so you should now find that uploads are re-enabled. This is a temporary solution to a problem growing by the day, so I'm definitely going to try to move us to the new server ASAP. If you don't mind, could you please contact some of the other staff members and ask that they [http://mail.simpsonswiki.net/surrender.php surrender their email accounts] after deleting all personal information from it? Sadly, it doesn't look like we'll be able to offer staff email accounts on the new server. (At least until I figure out a way to override some of the system in a way that doesn't breach security.)

Hi Jake, for some reason, the image [[Scratchy's Service Station and Lunch Counter|here]] is broken. I've tried moving the image which has worked a lot of the time but it did nothing.

:Hello, thanks for letting me know about this. I have restored the A record for the www subdomain, and it should start working again as soon as DNS propegates.
