Managed WordPress upgrade to 3.1

Dave — Sun, 06 Mar 2011 22:49:16 +0000

Managed WordPress users will notice their installation being upgraded to WordPress 3.1 today. This upgrade brings a number of minor changes including a new WordPress “admin bar” that will appear on your site when you’re logged in. Note that users will not see this admin bar, only administrators see the admin bar.

When you sign in to the administrative interface you will be prompted to upgrade your database, this happens automatically once you click the button and you’ll then be able to access the admin screens.

Also note that after the upgrade you’ll need to login again, if you were logged in before the upgrade you’ll be automatically logged out and prompted for your username and password to proceed.

We do not expect users to run into any problems as this upgrade has been thoroughly tested. Please contact us if you have any difficulties.

Please be advised that on January 18th, 2011 at 01:00-04:00 PST, we will be conducting network upgrades and maintenance which will impact our web server.

This maintenance will last approximately 5 hours, during which 4 brief periods of latency and packet loss will occur, as well as up to 5 minutes of network downtime as the switches involved are transitioned to the alternate distribution routers.

push.boxcar.io / iPhone push notification delivery problems (again)

Dave — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 22:01:38 +0000

We’re currently having a problem with delivering mail to the push.boxcar.io domain. This domain is used for push mail notifications for iPhone users, so as a result iPhone users may not receive timely notifications of new mail at this time.

Mail delivery to this domain is currently suspended since while their servers are refusing mail to avoid confusing errant bounces being generated.

Note that this has been an ongoing issue over the last few weeks and the problem may occur when not specifically mentioned here. Also note that the problem isn’t on our side, so unfortunately we don’t have any further information or an estimated time to resolution at this time.
