I was there to "hear" it this morning. I just didn't have much time and fell back on emailing my turn in.

In an effort to reduce some of the downtimes, and also to cut some costs, we've switch ISP's for PBW. I made the change yesterday, and so far indications things are working as expected.

The impact to you should be minimal. One thing that is different is the IP address we've had the last few months is no longer valid. The previous ISP was a dynamic IP, but it didn't change very often. The new ISP is also a dynamic IP, but it will change more frequently, perhaps as often as once every 24 horus. We've got things setup with a dynamic DNS provider to keep the pbw.cc updated to the correct IP.

I will be monitoring it for a few days to make sure that it happening as expected. When I switched it yesterday the DNS updated in less than a minute, so that is a positive indicator.

I'm also going to have to take things down in a few minutes to make a couple more changes. Should be back up shortly.

Uhh, geo, I haven't been able to reach PBW for 3 days now.

What am I doing wrong?

Right, my BM was to the old direct IP. What the heck is the text address so I can try that?

There seems to be a problem with turn emails. I've had to download the last two turns of my current game direct from the PBW website.

Yes, the turn emails are busted. I'm working to get it resolved.

I have a fix in place for the outgoing email issue. I'm monitoring it to see if it's going to work. Please let me know if it still looks like you aren't getting your turn and news emails. Please let me know your username, email, and game name.

If you aren't comfortable posting yoru email, you can send your report via email.
