We have brought the PBworks service back online. This maintenance required a restart of our database servers. Pages may take longer to load with a potential for timeouts while our cache servers are filling. If you experience a timeout, please wait a few minutes and then try reloading your page.

We are conducting a planned infrastructure upgrade the night of Friday, February 19. Our datacenter provider, Rackspace, is requiring us to switch physical datacenter locations. During this time, PBworks will be unavailable.
The maintenance window starts February 18, 11 PM Pacific, which is February 19, 2 AM Eastern / 7 AM GMT, and will last up to 24 hours, though of course our team will be working hard to keep this window as short as possible.
We recommend that you save your work before the maintenance window begins. Thanks for your patience!

The PBworks service was unavailable for a brief time this morning due to a loss of network connectivity in our data center. We have identified and resolved the problem, and the PBworks service has been restored.
Preliminary results indicate that there was no loss of user data; we are continuing to perform system checks, and will update this post as we learn more.
We will be upgrading our storage systems starting at 5 PM Pacific (8 PM Eastern) on Friday, October 25 (12 AM GMT on Saturday, October 26).
The upgrade process will last approximately one week. While the upgrade process will not affect the performance of wiki pages, it will affect file downloads. When you attempt to download a file while an upgrade is occurring, there is a 1-in-12 chance that the download will be slower than normal.
To minimize the impact on our users, the upgrade process will run from 5 PM Pacific to 5 AM Pacific each night, so that for the majority of our users, any impact will be felt outside normal business hours. This is also why we are starting the process over a weekend.
We expect the upgrade process to be completed before Monday, November 4.
We apologize for any inconvenience, and thank you for using PBworks.
