UPDATE: We are back up and running. Thanks for your patience.
Hello Friends,
This is just a quick announcement to tell everyone that we had a critical server failure yesterday, and both Digital Art Academy and Painter Talk cannot be accessed. We are still down as I write this note. Expect to see us up and running later today Keep your fingers crossed and send Karen lots of positive thoughts.
Hang in there…we will be back soon,
Skip
Thanks Skip. I went on DAA twice today and got the message the server was down. I sure do send Karen positive thoughts. Cannot fathom what all she does for her forum and classes. I know she is scrambling to get it all fixed. The least we can do is be patient. Thanks for the heads up.
Hey Kathy,
Yep…we were concerned that folks would wonder what was happening. And yes, Karen is scrambling to get it fixed. This was a very major crash.
Hugs,
Skip
Oh that can be one big headache. We will all send you positive thoughts.
Hi Janet…
This one is a big headache and toothache all rolled into one.
Hugs,
Skip
Dear Skip ….Thanks so much for alerting us and fingers crossed things will be working soon. Tried last night and couldn’t get to either place …. Marion
Hi Marion,
Yes…the crash happened yesterday, which is why you didn’t get in yesterday. Get those fingers crossed, girl. :))
Hugs,
Skip
Hang in there, it’s a brave new world!
Thanks Theodore…I’m hanging in there. I noticed that Karen just posted some stuff to her blog to give folks something to fill the void of DAA and Painter talk.
Skip
Thanks for the 411. I’m hanging in there!
You bet Barbara…will keep you posted. Actually, I just logged into DAA and it seems to be working fine now, but not Painter Talk.

Thanks for posting this Skip. Your blog has such a large reader base and this makes this a good venue for getting the word out to a lot of people. Good job!

Thanks Elaina…
We don’t want everyone to think DAA or Painter Talk are dead. I checked this morning and the sites were not back up.
