UK Indymedia website problems - an explanation

eileen | 09.12.2004 16:37 | Technology | Oxford

Quite a few of you will have noticed the decline in reliability and speed of publication over the past few weeks. Some people have contacted us to ask why we have 'hidden' or censored their articles. We haven't. It has been down to problems with the server. UK Indymedia Collectives are in urgent discussion about how to resolve this, and very soon we hope to have a faster, more robust server in place. In the meantime please keep posting, and bear with us if your post's appearance on the site is a little slow.

mirrors update at different times...

The site is now hosted on multiple mirrors,

http://www.indymedia.org.uk/ takes you to a random one, say you see you post one moment, hit reload (and get a less up to data mirror) then it vanishes...

This is because the mirrors all update once an hour but at different times, this should be able to be changed so that they update quicker after the planned new server is in place...

If you haven't donated to the server appeal yet please do so, Indymedia needs some dosh for some new kit to make the site work better!
