[BB] Upgrade issues

Two issues have been reported so far.
 
1. Special characters such as accented letters are messed up.  Blackboard will be applying a fix to correct this on Thursday morning at 3:00 AM.  The system will be off-line for about 30 minutes at that time.
 
2. There was a problem with turning on SSL, the service that encrypts communication between your computer and the Blackboard server.  Blackboard is trying to figure out what is causing the problem.  Until they can figure out the problem we will continue to use normal web communications.
