Sat, 16 May 2009 Some of you will be receiving an e-mail from PayPal, notifying you that your subscription with Libsyn has been canceled. This is most likely a result of the billing account updates we are asking everyone to complete. When you update your billing info with us, we create a new subscription for you, and cancel your old one (so you don't get double billed). Two points on that: 1) After you complete the billing update, it doesn't hurt to cancel your old subscription yourself. Old subscriptions will have a subscription id like S-XXXXXXX (as opposed to new subscriptions with an id like I-XXXXXXX). If you don't cancel it yourself, we will be cancelling old subscriptions in batches each day. If you believe you have been double billed, please get in touch with support and they will get it sorted out. 2) If you're not sure whether the cancelation notice was due to the billing update or not, you can verify that your account has been updated and is active by logging in at libsyn.com, clicking the "Account" tab, and verifying that your subscription ID begins with an I, like "I-XXXXXXX". As always, if you have any questions or need further assistance, you can contact us at support@libsyn.com. Category: general -- posted at: 12:01 PM Comments[0] |

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. 1:15am - Logins enabled -- please email support@libsyn.com if you have any questions. Category: general -- posted at: 9:10 PM Comments[0] |
Thu, 7 May 2009 A few users began to report low-than-normal stats yesterday afternoon (May 6th). We did some investigating into this issue and realized that there were some hardware issues causing stats to not get relayed to the display. We've remedied these issues and are in the process of rolling back to before the hardware failed and will be restoring these stats to affected users over the next day. During this time period stats may appear to not be working, when in reality they are just a day or so behind and will be catching up to the moment that the rollback is complete. Sorry for any frustration. Please email support@libsyn.com if you have any questions. Thanks Category: Stats -- posted at: 3:21 PM Comments[1] |

Fri, 27 February 2009 8:00pm EST Confirmed DNS issues caused by switch malfunction at datacenter. Backup DNS
servers put into place, but while the records propagate through the
Internet, most libsyn and libsynPRO services will be unreachable.
8:30pm EST Learned from Network Solutions that the reason our DNS
changes are taking so long to update is because they are doing
maintenance at this time. Data center is working to restore the primary
and backup systems. Back up soon. 9:45pm EST Data center has confirmed that the issue has been resolved and all services are available. Please contact support@libsyn.com if you have any questions. Category: general -- posted at: 9:43 PM Comments[0] |

Mon, 29 December 2008 Over the weekend several users occasionally experienced and issue posting new files. You may have seen the following error:
* There was a problem adding ___file___ to the Libsyn Network. (false) Our team has been notified of this problem and will notify you if we need additional info to fix it. If you were seeing that message, you can login and reupload now without any problems. Even if you were not seeing that message, when you attempted to download new files, you may have been getting a 500 Internal Server Error message from time to time. That issue was also fixed yesterday. Both issues were intermittent and it took a few days longer to track down with the holiday and everyone traveling. We were also slow to update this blog with the issue. Please accept our apologies. Category: Media Delivery -- posted at: 8:05 AM Comments[2] |
