Server Status Link

I would love it if there were a direct link, up top somewhere on this forum with the other links, to the server status page.

It might be more convenient for members here to access it off this board, then to go digging through bookmarks. (Okay, it would be more convenient for me. :r But perhaps I'm not the only one?)

Thanks! :)

The 'Server Status' link was moved not too long ago down to the bottom of the forum under 'Useful Links'. It's a bit more tidy down there then where it was up at the top. :)

It was in the top links for a while. I think it's useful to have it both locations.

It would be much easier at the top.

It would be much easier at the top.
But it's at the bottom. Along with many similar links.
So it's available on every page load.
A lot of things would be easier at the top.
Amazingly, the more things you shove in to the top, the further down everything else gets pushed. (And eventually there's an inconvenient bottom. ;) )
Now, I see a lot more forums than you do. A lot. And It's not inconvenient for me to get to the bottom to click the server status link. In fact, it's useful there because I know all the necessary links are in one spot - something there just isn't enough room at the top to do properly.

That could be useful, and it can stay on the same line as the other links.

Well d'oh, I had never noticed the useful links, but in my defense, I don't tend to go to the bottom of a page for informative links. I think online experience has trained me that links at the top of the page are informational and links at the bottom are advertisement type links (Facebook like, etc.).

Good to know it's already here (and thanks for pointing that out!), but yeah, I agree it would be more noticeable were it up top. :) Especially since it is informational, and seems to fit well with the current links atop the page.

I personally bookmarked that link ages ago as it seemed only logical to have it in my bookmarks for easy access if I ever needed to see if a server was down or not. I am surprised others haven't done that yet.

It is bookmarked. But I have lots (and lots) of pages bookmarked that are related to my forum, and since there's no favicon for it (at least there isn't for my browser), it's tough to find sometimes. ;)

Not trying to be a pain, just suggesting something that would make my experience here a tad easier, and assumed it might help others as well. If I'm unique in thinking it might be more helpful to have the link up top here, that's fine. :) (Though it sounds as if others might like it too.)

I was glad to hear it was at least listed at the bottom. And for now, that alone is helpful.

Thanks! :)

I guess considering there are already links up there, I don't see why it wouldn't be up there. Considering that is probably one of the most popular links around here.
