any thoughts on changing the UI. IE less t-shirt green

Actually it's even more like the t-shirt I was wearing now, but I find it a pleasantly neutral and soft color/pattern combo.

You have 2 tshirts that colour?! [MENTION=3430]Sarah[/MENTION] must know!

The logo still makes me cringe a little.
Especially on the new background.

Eh, it'll be replaced soon enough.

Truly horrifying. Unless you use them for stealth kills in grassy knolls.

Leveraging the new infrastructure from MMOStatus.net our own status page is now updating by the minute.
Downside is the time is now central / GMT -6.

Uh... isn't that what it always was?

No. It was on California time when it was just us, and just Maple.

I really hope you intend to fix it to show GMS server time again.
For now can you at least note somewhere on the page what zone the times are given in, and how to convert to GMS server time?
Also, spacing between the "Login" line and "Scania" is now smaller than all the rest. Can you add a blank icon or something to make it even?

Could you.. add the logs back? Those were actually quite useful to me

Not now. It was useless to the vast majority, who neither understood what it actually meant, nor cared. This one shows how long an outage that's in progress has been going on for in the infopop and when the last outage was when one isn't. That would make a useful log, but still needs routines in place to actually be able to track and display it without database activity.
SaptaZapta Wrote:I really hope you intend to fix it to show GMS server time again.
Nope.
Considering it's updating every minute if you can't look at the fact it says 05:52 and your own clock says 06:52 and figure out it's an hour off from you, and which direction, you're frankly too stupid to understand how to use a status page in the first place, let alone have thought to look for one.
When I have a chance I may consider trying to add a time offset for every channel of every game in the known universe but that just seems rather pointless for an audience that's >= 13 and should have understood the basics of time for at least half a decade.

In short, the GMS status page has lost functionality and ease of use to conform to the infrastructure of the new project, which is of no interest to me because I don't play any of those other games, and which is not even accessible directly from Southperry.net or the stat.php page.
As for timezone conversions: I much prefer to let a computer do things for me, even things I could have done myself, especially when it can do them faster and more reliably. Somehow, you agreed that the time should be in Pacific, in the old version. Even now you said it's a "downside" that it no longer is. So please don't treat me like I'm asking for some dumbed-down version that nobody ever thought necessary or useful before.
And I still request, humbly, that a text to the effect of "all times are Central / GMT-6, two hours ahead of GMS server time" appear somewhere in the legend area of Southperry.net/stat.php. I'm a stupid foreigner, I am, and not all that familiar with USA timezones.

In short, wah wah boohoo CHANGE AND EFFORT MAKE ME UPSET. whatever.

In short: I couldn't care less about GMS, or Southperry as a GMS-centered site . Looking for other sources of revenue now. Don't bother me.
Gotcha.

Maybe if you (all of you, not you specifically) learned to provide constructive criticism rather than passive aggressive demands and drama filled tirades about how it's the end of the world because I don't have enough time in my daily life to bend over backwards and make the entire damn universe conform to your ideals of how it should work, while also not upsetting anyone else's ideals of how it should work, I would be more inclined to try to accommodate, but really all I get is whining and kvetchery when I am nice enough to make, what was at the time a simple tweak, and then later it doesn't have long term feasibility at the exact minute you want it, it becomes THE END Of DAYS.
Fine. Just for your sorry whiny ass I'll program in an offset for one game. Because your heart wrenching plea for support has been well thought and entirely polite and insightful. Except it wasn't so maybe I will just do what I originally said and throw it at the bottom of the pile where it belongs because maybe, just maybe, I have something more important in my life than offsetting the time for people who know damn well both what the server time is, and what the time of the site they're looking at is.

Or, you know, you could have just left the GMS status page as it was.

No, No I rather couldn't due to multiple issues it was both causing, and having.
Do you think I just arbitrarily rewrite entire systems because I have ever so much feel time and I just feel like it?
Just because you don't see, know, or understand that something is going on doesn't mean everything is running just perfectly and can stay the way it is.
You seriously need to get over how horribly inconvenienced you are by this and thank god, buddah, the flying spaghetti monster, or random entity of your choice that this is the most pressing issue you have in your life right now.
