Mira server problems solved (October 18, 2001)
Almost all problems with the Mira server are solved. Also the intermag2002@miracd.com e-mail address is functioning again, so please direct questions there. The only problem left is with co-author fields which cannot be edited or modified. Mira is looking into the problem and will try to solve it as soon as possible.
If accidently you entered your digests twice, you can have one of them deleted by Mira, please send a delete request to intermag2002@miracd.com, indicating which of the two digest numbers you want to have deleted. Please note however that all fields in you digest can be modified, you can even upload a new document, so there is no need to create new entries!

Continuing problems with the Mira server (October 18, 2001)
After yesterdays congestion of the Mira server, you are currently experiencing problems again, this time probably because of the large number of (large) digests that have been submitted. Some people get a message like:

SELECT * FROM SiteUser WHERE usrLogin = 'USERNAME'
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e23'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Can't allocate space for
object 'Syslogs' in database 'Intermag2002' because the 'logsegment' segment
is full. If you ran out of space in Syslogs, dump the transaction log.
Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE or sp_extendsegment to increase the size of
the segment.

/intermag2002/UserFormAction.asp, line 235

We are again very sorry for this inconvenience, but we have to wait until Mira fixes the server. You can rest asure that nobody will fail to submit their digest because of technical problems. If necessary, the deadline for submission will be extended again. Deadline for digest submission extended (October 17 2001)
We are currently experiencing heavy congestions of the server of the company which takes care of digest submission. Some people get a message like:

error 'ASP 0113'
Script timed out
/intermag2002/signon.asp
The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You
can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property
Server.ScriptTimeOut or by changing the value in the IIS
administration tools.

We are very sorry for this inconvenience, but there is very little we can do, and we have to wait until they wake up and go to work. To enable you to submit your digest, we extend the deadline for digest submission to Thursday 12:00 pm US westcoast time. Please try to submit your abstract in a quiet period (in the morning in Europe, in the afternoon in Asia and in the evening in the US).

Deadline for papers submission (October 10 2001)
