Status Page

[lord_dude]

Not knocking the site here coz i think its great and an invaluble tool but...


There often seems to be things not working like the search being down, or avatars not being displayed etc. I though it might be useful to have a Service Status Page, like ISP's have so if something doest appear to be working, you can go there and see if its your PC or the site, and see if its the site, when its expected to be fixed/reinstated. It would also stop something ive noticed in the past, where the same errors constantly get reported in this forum when they are known bugs. This used to happen a lot with that server busy message b4 the next servers were in and still happens now a bit.

Quite a good idea, but could be a lot of work for John

Try this code

If CanReach("http://www.vbforums.com/") Then
  Jelsoft.VBWorld.Status = vbAllWorking
Else
  Jelsoft.VBWorld.Status = vbNothingWorking
End If

We don't have plans to take things offline regularly enough for such a page to be necessary or useful. If something is not working, a quick visit to this forum will fill you in on most stuff.
