Hi

Just a reminder that the big change over from Mailbase to JISCmail 
takes place this weekend, going into Monday 27 November.

With luck, everything should work smoothly. :-)

However, please note...

1. There will be a disruption to the service during this weekend while 
technical work is carried out. Messages will be delayed but should 
still be delivered. Please do NOT re-send messages if they have not 
appeared on this list before Monday.

2. From late Monday (or early Tuesday depending on your timezone) 
you will be able to send messages and commands to the new list 
address. This is...

If you send mail to the old address it will still be delivered (for a 
while), but you will receive an automated reply telling you to use the 
new address in future.

3. The commands to join, leave, suspend mail etc. will remain very 
similar (with the substitution of 'jiscmail' for 'mailbase'). However, it 
might be a good idea to check the instructions now at...

www.jiscmail.ac.uk

4. We will need some help to change any web links that point to the 
list or list archives. The list web pages will move to a corresponding 
web location at...

www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/disability-research

Again, this is a simple substitution of 'jiscmail' for 'mailbase'.

The old pages will be 'frozen' today and will continue to be available 
for some time. All archive material will be copied to the new location 
where it will continue to grow.

Fingers crossed - everything should go according to plan. Here's 
hoping for a seamless switch over :-)

PS. If anything goes wrong, please be patient. This is a huge 
technical operation involving hundreds of lists and thousands of 
subscribers - it may take longer than anticipated. If you have a  
technical question about JISCmail then please mail...

Please do NOT mail me unless your query is specifically related to 
the disability-research list!

Thanks.
