Our hosting service had a major disruption today. Our site, along with many others, was down for almost the whole day. Sorry for the inconvenience.

For authors who had banners and BOTD today, your ads are running now, and we've emailed you with new complimentary scheduled days.

I generally look down on Twitter, but this is a good example of why that isn't always the best policy!  Welcome back, KB!

Let me say, KindleBoards withdrawal symptoms are ugly.  I didn't get anything useful done today because I kept checking whether we were back.  No smart phone, no twitter - sigh...

I'm glad all is well now!

That must've been fun for you, Harvey—not!

Well, KindleBoards was certainly missed!!! After many hours of constant checking, I Googled and found a post at "that other board" that mentioned outages at both KB and eReaderIQ. I was relieved to know that it wasn't my computer!

Betsy, thanks for the Twitter link to your account in the WC thread.  I didn't know we could check a twitterer (Huh) from the computer and without having a Twitter account.  Bookmarked for future reference!

We're discussing the best way to handle notifications in the future, but yes, you can bookmark my account if you want, and you'll be able to see what I've been tweeting. www.twitter.com/betsytrue  I'll for sure be tweeting about it.
