Add Style to Official Status Checkers

[Alex8lot]

First of all, I just want to let you all know before you guys start saying in the comments, yes, I know about BigBrainAFK's checker, the project-sato one. However, that one is an unofficial checker and in this suggestion I will be referring to the official ones, found here:

I have quite a bit of people saying that the links posted above lead them to just a blank page, because they cannot see the status. I agree, it is very small and the coloring on it makes it blend in badly. I think it would be nice if just a little bit of css was added to make it more visible, maybe something like this:

 

Not much, just something to make it easier to see and maybe look a bit nicer. I would also be happy to provide the code I used to make this, but it's not too hard at all, just a little CSS. So yeah, in conclusion, it would great if these could be more visible as to have less confusion among players when the server is down.

Why would this be needed? I 100% don't understand. The only time the number of players online matters to me is when I'm dealing with a login que - at which point it's still unnecessary. I don't think there's a single time while playing that I've asked myself "how many players are on the server right now?" I won't agree or disagree. It's not like it would do any bad. I just find it completely useless.

It's not just a matter of how many players are on, it's checking to see if the server is online or not.

Which can be solved by a single login attempt... My viewpoint stands.. I don't find this useful.

But does it tell you "the server is offline?" Nope, it says "cannot connect to server" and the server being offline is not the only way to get this message.

I'm fairly sure that the idea is to help players who ask "Is the server down or is it my connection?"

If there was a server status checker that's easily accessible to the entire community then there would be less spam about the server status.

Either way when you see that message, you're not logging in. The end result is that you aren't playing the game at that moment. Nothing will change from this server checker.

I think it is a nice quality of life improvement to the status checker.

Yea I forgot to say; I support this.

Maybe adding the status checkers to the forums would also be pretty nice.

When I click login and it says "cannot connect to server", I immediately open an internet page and see if it loads. If it does, then I do something and try to play again later. That's all the "server checker" that I need. I've never had it where it didn't load my internet page, but if it didn't load my internet p[age I would know it is my internet and fix it. This checker is entirely useless. If you want to stick up to occupy the mods with wasting time on something entirely useless, that's fine. I'm done wasting my time on this post though. I'd have better results digging to the Earths core. I don't enjoy wasting my time on useless.
