Updated MOB Home Page, big thanks to Steel Options

[Old Man Mike]

Some of you might have noticed how slow the MOB Home Page and Vent Status Page have been lately. This has been primarily due to the use of ServerSpy for reporting our server status.

We have now switched to Game-Monitor for this function. A big "thank you" goes out to Steel for updating the HTML code so that it comes up much quicker and also includes the status of all MOB servers.

Hammatime, you are correct. Good eye! The game-monitor buttons I put on the page are bigger than the right html column by about 5 pixels. The only way to fix this would be to remake the webpages, as the dependency is on the structure of the graphic at the top of the page.

The top page graphic looks like one picture, but is actually in 3 predefinded sections, brought together by the width of each column, left, middle, and right. The right column is slightly smaller than the left.

I did some local experiments where I resized the 3 graphic sections so that I could even the left and right column spacing, giving more pixels to the right hand column, but the top and bottom graphics simply didn't look as good when resized.

I pointed all of this out to Old Man Mike. He said that the tiny extension of the game-monitor buttons over the right column were simply not a big enough deal to worry about. His main concern was getting server monitors on the page that didn't use serverspy's javascripting, which often took too long to load.

Hopefully he is correct, and the overlap is not too distracting to anyone.
