Don't panic; but take note of this:

Webshots will be upgrading servers at 5pm this Friday (January 11th). Please expect weekend outages.

This probably means that if you try to access WebShots while they are doing this work, you'll get an error message from your browser saying that the site is down and not responding. HOPEFULLY they are being honest and the site will return in good shape by Monday or so.

Another effect of this work outage will be that our Pet Talk site will be full of *Broken Picture Icons* ~ Every place someone has a WebShots photo, including signature thumbnails, we will see the *Broken Picture Icon*. Annnd... Pet Talk pages might not fully load and display...

If you seem to wait forever to see a Pet Talk page, try hitting your browser "STOP" button and wait a minute more. Often times this will tell your browser to *stop* trying to load a picture it can't find and display whatever it has got - you should see the text at this point.
