Emergency Springboard Maintenance
The final step in the expansion to the file storage space – copying existing content to the new storage space – requires shutting down the Springboard system this evening at 8:00 PM. We estimate this maintenance will take 90 minutes. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and will work as quickly as possible to complete the migration. We will post a message on the Springboard! Blog when the transition is complete. Thank you for your patience as we work to ensure the reliability of Springboard.
