Hi

Is there any way of putting a form into squidoo lens? I know it's one of those HTML elements that people hate, but I wouldn't mind integrating one into my latest lens.

When trying to do some editing on my Squidoo lens it takes me to this page - has done all day. Looks like they`re overrunning their downtime somewhat.

No, you haven't crossed into the Twilight Zone.

We're just hard at work preparing Squidoo for its move to new servers.

Which means? Faster, better, and steadier lens building and browsing for you in the future. Right this second, though, it means you can't edit your existing lenses or create new ones. That's why you were re-directed to this page. BUT rest easy, your lenses are still live to the world, and your adoring fans and readers can still see them.

Give us a few hours to wrap things up, then you'll be able to edit, tweak, publish and create lenses to your heart's content.

Yes TeamPlayer, they seem to have significant downtime today. I managed to login early in the morning.

There was an overnight server migration during which they locked the edit facility which is fairly normal practice for anyone migrating servers - you don't want your users changing details on a server as you are trying to copy the data to another server!

They did post notices about this in the squidu forums, though the edit facility wasn't restored as quickly as they'd hoped due to some neccessary bug-bashing on the new server.

As far as I know, visitors to lenses wouldn't have noticed a thing whilst this was happening which is good!

Everything now seems normal. Though some small bugs are being reported.
