Hi folks, just a general update - we've had some undesirable experiences with (presumably) bots recently, which has made the site pretty slow at times over the last few weekends. I'm really sorry about this. We're putting some initial counter-measures in place over the coming days, because (good news now) we've got a content release coming up very soon, and obviously we'd like you all to be able to search the heck out of it.

It'll contain:

Greymouth Evening Star (1901-1920)
Opunake Times (1894-1949)
Stratford Evening Post (1911-1936)
Taihape Daily Times (1914-1920)

I'll give you an update when we close in on the release.

Yes no show on the paperspast website, some are saying they can do searches from DigitalNZ but hard to find right items. Hope its fixed soon.
Bye

An email from Emerson today

I'm really sorry about this, we currently have an issue with some very abnormal external requests coming in to the site. They appear malicious, and we're trying to deal with them. We have no support staff available over weekends and this is when these attacks seem to ramp up.

 The site is working at the moment and we have people who can help us respond during working hours. We've got people looking at the data from over the weekend and we are making a few adjustments. Please feel free to disseminate this in any genealogy forums you follow.

 Once again, please accept my apologies. 

 Emerson

Cheers Janette

Hi folks, very quick update for you - we've pushed some fixes to the site, to prevent that bot situation getting out of hand.

If you have any problems searching, just use an up to date version of Chrome or Firefox and you'll be fine. I'll check in again later :-)
