News: There was a relatively short outage on Amazon’s S3 storage service a short while ago. Voices.com uses Amazon to host audio demos, but not auditions or files uploaded for SurePay escrow transactions.
Amazon continues to have issues, for more information see the Amazon forum.
In short, there’s little we can do about this outage, however we are monitoring forums, discussion groups and news outlets to inform you once all our servers get back online.
As one person put it, "this is the equivalent of an unexpected snowstorm, it’s completely outside our control."
Some recommended actions for those suffering problems seeing cards or widgets:
a) trying control-shift-reload on the broken page
b) right-clicking on a broken widget, going to “This frame..” and clicking “reload this frame” (firefox only)
c) clearing your cache.
Any or all of these actions may help, but if Amazon’s service is still down at the time of reload, it will remain broken.
We'll keep you updated as the day progresses.
UPDATE
Good news! The Amazon S3 Outage was short lived. From all accounts, this issue has been resolved, and I'm pleased to report that all Voices.com audio files are back online.
Thanks for your understanding.
