Just a warning to everybody; I [Brion] will be moving the file storage for Commons from our overloaded image server to another machine in a few hours. Temporarily the ability to re-upload over existing files is suspended to ensure that files won't be lost in this process -- sorry for any inconvenience this causes.

Also during the actual switch, some of the latest uploads may also appear to be missing until the final bits are copied over. I'll put up a site notice warning when that's ready to happen. --Brion VIBBER 03:26, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
