We are hoping that the infuriating failure of the Scienceblogs servers to keep up with traffic leading to submission timeouts (just as aggravating for bloggers as commenters) will be cured by a server upgrade which is to begin shortly. We have just been informed by our Seed Overlords (a.k.a. the publishers) that Commenting will be turned off shortly (between 7 pm and 8 pm EST, July 21) to allow migration to the new server. The site will remain readable and the Comment Form visible but you won't be able to comment.
This affects all of the Scienceblogs.com. We are told the entire process will be completed over night in North American time zones. We hope so. We are sorry for the inconvenience and even sorrier we won't be able to hear from you in the meantime.
Back up tomorrow, with any luck. Don't go away.
