Server Maintenance Notification – This Saturday (November 24th, 2011)
November 23rd, 2011.

We will be performing several software updates on our servers this Saturday at 9pm EST (2:00 GMT). The maintenance will take about five hours. The maintenance is required in order to keep our servers secure and up-to-date.

Our website, blog and support forum may be momentarily unavailable around that time. We expect only a very short interruption of our form processing service (i.e. a few seconds while the web server software is restarting).

Updates will be posted.

Thank you.
