Authoring for CommonSpot web publishers has been disabled while perform maintenance on our servers.
We will alert you when services are restored.
Servers in Madison, servicing D2L, are having problems. You can monitor and get the latest information here: http://outages.doit.wisc.edu/
We are currently experiencing a spotty problem with some web sites loading so slowly as to be virtually unavailable.
The issue should be resolved soon.
Until further notice, authoring using CommonSpot will be unavailable until performance issues with the upgrade can be corrected. Your patience with us during this time has been terrific.
Our sites are still available for viewing. If you have an emergency need, contact web@uwec.edu.
Thank you.
Common Spot upgrade has been successful! You should now be able to author/edit.
Please bear with us as the CommonSpot upgrade continues. This only affects web publishing, not viewing. We are very close and will send a status when complete.
CommonSpot authoring is currently unavailable as the upgrade to CommonSpot 6.2 has not quite completed.
We expect to complete the process very soon and will notify you just as soon as it occurs.
We are sorry for any inconvenience.
We are on track for the upgrade to CommonSpot 6.2 Friday morning, December 2. Be aware of the following:
-Authoring services will be unavailable starting at midnight tonight, Thursday.
-If all goes well, you can begin to make changes around 7:00 am on Friday.
-During the morning on Friday, we ask you to make minor changes to your pages and report any problems immediately to web@uwec.edu.
-As a precaution, in case we would need to revert back to our previous version of CommonSpot, please track any changes you make on Friday as you would need to recreate should a reversion be needed.
-We’ll send you a status update around noon on Friday.

For the last few days, dozens of UWEC users have been responding to email phishing password request attacks from a variety of spammers all over the world. Those spammers have been using those passwords to send hundreds of thousands of spam emails through our servers, resulting in us getting blocked all over the internet. Steps have been taken to prevent this from happening in the future.
As always, NEVER send your password to anyone via email.
Over the next few hours the UWEC email servers should become unblocked and allow you to send email off campus.

MyBlugold CampS (CampS only) will be unavailable between 7am and 11am on 11/19/2011 while software updates are applied.
We had someone fall victim to a phishing attack and they gave out their email name and password. Subsequently their email account was used to spend out massive quantities of spam so many other email systems around the world are now blocking any email being sent from UW-Eau Claire. We are working to resolve this. Please, never, ever send your password to ANYONE and if you are creating passwords for other sites/purposes DO NOT use the same password.
The UWEC email server is currently being blocked by numerous internet email servers, due to a compromised student account and password. Email services like Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, CVTC, etc will be blocking us for a while.
The Upgrade to CommonSpot 6.2 has been postponed due to unforeseen technical issues. A new date will be announced soon.
We will be upgrading our web site to latest version of CommonSpot. No editing of existing content will be allowed this weekend. The upgrade will be completed Monday morning.
