dunno where the best place is to put this.... but i wish that LL would send a pop up to let us know when they have blocked logins due to problems... its really annoying when u reboot, only to find that logins are blocked :(

subscribe to the RSS feed on the grid status page and then install a desktop alert system to do a popup when status reports are posted
They pretty much stopped doing in world messages to the grid about a year or so ago.. only time they do one is if it is important that everyone stops transactions etc.

It sux i know.
And they are slow as molasses on posting on the grid status page. So even still could be a gamble

Well the status page said, quote-"please avoid making important transactions or rezzing no-copy objects." so why no inworeld notice?

I ask my self the same question over and over but to no avail. I'M sure LL holds that answer.

I know its a pain in the arse all the time so I have taken steps to keep my self instantly informed of grid status changes. the tools have been provided for us to use. Might as well take advantage of it

If you happen to use Twitter, you can follow slgridstatus there. It's pretty prompt, sometimes quicker to update than the status blog.

Can anyone recommend a free alternative that will basically do the same thing? I don't have $850 USD to blow on an alert watcher.

PS: please stop posting URLs in [img]tags.

I got an inworld notice when they didn't let people log in. It was the popup like when you buy something :3 and then they sent another when it was back to normal :3
