Down Time Yesterday (and Last Night)
We're not sure of an exact hour, but VideoSift will be entering Razzleberry mode some time today, and it could be as soon as midday or early evening (Pacific time).
We are upgrading to some super-duper lightning fast servers so after this, the Sift will load much more quickly. Stay tuned.

If you're having problems staying logged in, make sure you delete all videosift cookies from your browser then login again.

/Downvotes downtime.
/Upvotes lightning fast servers!
A request, if it's not too much work.. can stuff in "Unsifted" be frozen, so they don't "time out" during downtime? It would be such a shame.
GL with the upgrade Hope you don't get any unexpected developments.
Be sure to have backups!!
And do we get extensions for submitted videos in queues?
Mmm, upgrades. Need more power and speed!
turn it off for a week just to see what happens!!^^
It's back, but broken in http://www.videosift.com/talk and can't post, so I had to jump to previous visits. Here's the error for http://www.videosift.com/talk:

Same here! PANIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! j/k
So uhhh .. what's going on? Update still in progress?
Adding post to channels (Fear) - requested by burdturgler.
Is submitting new video broken too? I get "Embed code appears to be invalid". I can't embed anything!
I wasn't able to update previously because, like some of the world even now, I couldn't load the new servers. There are still some places on Earth where DNS has not gotten updated.
There have been and continue to be minor tweaks required for everything to work properly, so just let us know here what issues you're encountering.
I'll look into that video submission bug now, ant.

Thanks for the updates. OpenDNS seems to work for me. So far, I have seen these issues (everyone, please kindly pitch in too):
1. SiftTalk's new posts and posting a new one don't work.
2. Can't submit videos ("Embed code appears to be invalid").
3. VS seems to keep kicking me off and I have to login!
4. No new videos on front page since VS came up. Umm, something is wrong?
5. User profiles, even my own, don't work.
vidpost giving me a blank page atm?
Clicking on links within profiles (unsifted videos, sifted videos etc) does not work.
The Channels and Faq pages are blank.

Same here.
Thumbnails for newly sifted videos are not showing up.

Search is not working atm.
Blogs tab is sending me to the front page.
Channels tab is showing a blank page.
Fix me!!!
I can't stay logged in. Every time I come back, I have to log in again.
Hehe, here: a hug @lucky760 in this stressful time.
^Thanks.
Fixed video submission, blogs tab, channels tab, faq page, search, member profiles, and thumbnails on new vids.
Not sure about people getting logged off. I've been logged in for several hours without any interruption in service.
some charter subdomains were working before but now take me to the razzleberry/meebo chat
example: link.
and congrats on the safe migration of data
I think ^that and the log-off are probably caused by some kind of residual DNS hiccups. (I.e., an occasional page load tries to load the old servers.)

Same here. I don't even close/exit my Mozilla's SeaMonkey v2.0.3.

Just wanted to say thank you lucky for all the work you've put into this site.
I'm am unable to remain logged in.
The lounge only shows what is typed after a refresh.
An embed I posted today doesn't show when I'm logged out, under "unsifted videos" on my profile.
Things seem to be coming into place. Elements of peoples' profile pages are still missing but that's light years (or 10 hours my time) away from not being able to see my sifted or unsifted videos. So far it seems like It's been a smooth transition.
@dotdude: Sift Lounge is fixed. The embed you posted is probably NSFW and when logged out the NSFW filter is on by default. Still not sure about the logout problem, but I'm keeping an eye on it.
@geo321: What elements of profile pages are still missing?
@everyone_else: I appreciate the hugs and thanks. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
You can't see the history of downvotes in a person's profile.
FYI, we've temporarily made it so that queued video will not expire for 4 days.
@geo321: It seems to work fine for me: http://lucky760.videosift.com/member/lucky760/voteddown
@lucky760 playlists don't seem to be working.
@eric3579: Playlists are fixed.
The sidebar is showing Top 15 even though I've got it set to Top 30.
Hey Lucky, No matter how many times I kill all videosift cookies and reload the page, I still get it forgetting who I am if I close the tab with videosift in it.
Quite annoying must be said.
Agreed. It's most annoying. We'll try to get it figured out soon.

As long as it's not just me and is a known issue I'm a happy camper
None of the www.videosift.com links load for me, while videosift.com links load fine. Quick fix is to remove "www." from the location and reload page. Strangely enough "ping xyz" on MacOS gives same IP address for www.videosift.com as videosift.com
