How can we help you?Please provide details regarding your request? Do you have a solution defined or do you need support identifying a solution?
Good morning, I am following up on yesterday's notification about the removal of access to inside.mines.edu.
I have been regularly maintaining my website (https://inside.mines.edu/~mwakin/) throughout my time at Mines, including publicly sharing the URL to this website and our shared software (https://inside.mines.edu/~mwakin/software). Recently, we have been disseminating STEM Kits for our outreach program and pointing the recipients to the landing pages (https://inside.mines.edu/~mwakin/stemkits/sc24/ and https://inside.mines.edu/~mwakin/stemkits/mlh24/); these have been going out to local schools and Scouting organizations. I would not have done this if I anticipated losing access, particularly in such a short timeframe. I understand Mines stopped using inside.mines.edu as a landing page a while back, but my understanding was that the personal webpages were still supported; there was an upgrade of the server just a few years ago.
Is there any way to preserve access to inside.mines.edu for active users like myself? If not, is there a way to provide URL redirects (specifically from the URLs I listed above) to wherever the new pages may need to live? Thank you.
