scresawn	Julia Lee Thanks for checking. Our class ended for today, but I will do what Chris suggested the next time we meet. I restarted Phamerator on the server this afternoon because of a problem someone else was having, and that resolved it for them. With any luck, this fixed the issue for you as well.

scresawn	Hi Andrea, I have updated Phamerator.org and it should now match what you see on PhagesDB.org. You might need to reload the site in order to see the change. Best, Steve

Hi Dana, Yes, the app has been completely rewritten. We pulled the old versions from the store because an update to Google Maps meant that we could no longer use their service in the way we had been. We are attempting to submit a new version today for both Android and iOS. The Android process is quick, but it can take several days for Apple to post the app update on their store. I'll post again here once the updates are live. If your students are collecting samples in the meantime, you might just want to ask them to record the location of their samples for later entry into the app. Best, Steve d.zambito Hi Steve, One of my students tried to use the SEA-PHAGES app, but was unsuccessful. The student tried to register for an account using phages.db (as specified in the discovery manual) and was not able to get an account. I looked up the app in the Apple store, and it's no longer listed. We also looked on an android device and it's not listed in the apps there either. Is the app being revamped? Thanks, Dana Pape-Zambito

scresawn	This took a bit longer due to some VERY slow shipping on a piece of network equipment. Nevertheless, the work is now complete.

scresawn	Hi everyone, In order to provide a more robust and scalable phamerator.org, we are performing a major upgrade on our server equipment. Please expect intermittent downtime through the end of the week. I'll post an update here when the work is complete. Thanks for your patience. Steve Edited 08 Mar, 2017 21:47

scresawn	Hi Jordan, You're right, we've been having some intermittent trouble with the app this year, mostly on the server side but it manifests as not being able to load the map. My students and I are working on the problem and hope to have a substantially improved version in place for next year. Thanks for your patience with it. Best, Steve

scresawn	Like Jordan, I've had the problem even with single gene BLAST submissions. S.

Yesterday was a big moment for the SEA-PHAGES app. It was the first time that we moved out of testing and had large numbers of real people were using the app for their sample collection. This morning, an error occurred that resulted in the loss of data entered after 8/29/15. To those of you who made accounts or added samples on 8/30 or 8/31, your information has been lost, and I'm personally very sorry for the inconvenience this causes. As I work to put measures into place to prevent these types of issues in the future, I would ask that you please not give up on the app. If your account was deleted, please make a new one and add your sample back to the app. When you add a sample, it is added at your current position. However, you can "unlock" the map by tapping the lock icon, and then drag the marker to the correct position. Once you have done that, you'll see a message at the top of the screen that says "undo move sample?". Tap anywhere else on the screen to confirm that you meant to move it, and then tap the red lock icon to re-lock the map. You'll also want to correct the date associated with the sample, since it defaults to the date that you re-add the sample to the map. To fix this, click the menu bottom (3 horizontal lines), and edit the date field. Again, my apologies. Please bear with us as we grow.
