Due to today’s snowstorm in the Albany, NY area, there is possibility of power and connectivity outages at our Troy office. With this in mind, there is a chance that we may have temporary problems receiving support telephone calls.
Email support will not be affected.
That said, we will do our best to continue to provide the world class support our customers expect and deserve, and do not anticipate that piddling things like ‘no power’ and ‘no Internet access’ will get in our way.
As a reminder, our offices will be closed Friday, December 25th, and Friday, January 1st.
Should you need assistance on these days, please email 911 at ubersmith dot com.
Team Ubersmith wishes you and your family the best wishes for the holiday season and a wonderful New Year!

Authorize.net, a merchant provider used by many Ubersmith clients, is currently experiencing a prolonged outage. Any error messages you receive within Ubersmith regarding an inability to connect to Authorize.net are in fact due to the processor being down.
We will be keeping an eye on this situation and providing updates as they become available.
Update Fri Jul 3 11:42:57 EDT: Authorize.net has set up a Twitter account to keep clients up to date on the situation. It can be accessed here:

PayPal has announced scheduled maintenance for January 29th beginning at 11PM PST (January 30th, 7AM GMT) and lasting approximately 30 minutes. As this has proved to be an issue for some of our clients in the past, we have decided to supplement PayPal’s announcement with one of our own.
According to the information provided by PayPal, IPN (Instant Payment Notification) transactions will be delayed by the downtime. This means any payments you receive during this time via PayPal may not be immediately reflected within Ubersmith. Even once the downtime period is over, there is often a backlog of IPN notifications, which can lead to delays of an hour or more. This is not a problem with your Ubersmith configuration!
For more information about PayPal’s maintenance announcement, please visit this site.
