[BB] Safe Assignment Not Working

Blackboard users,
 
The Safe Assignment functionality of our Blackboard system is currently not working.  Either clicking on View/Submit or the Safe Assignments link in the Control Panel fails to load a page.  It seems that either the MyDropBox system is off the net or refusing our connections.  We have notified MyDropBox.  We will update you with new information as it becomes available.
 
I apologize for this situation.  I know a number of you have altered your processes so that students submit papers using Safe Assignment.  An unreliable system is unacceptable.  I will work with the MyDropBox company to gather more information about whether they are able to meet our needs and provide the quality that you deserve.
