Description (last modified by daira)

<kpreid> I really wish the welcome page grid info had last-seen dates for servers

<trel1023> and their storage status (on/off)

<trel1023> rather, whether they were accepting new shares

Replying to davidsarah:

I think the "since" column provides this, since it shows the date/time of disconnection for unconnected servers.

<trel1023> and ... whether they were accepting new shares

I think #648 would provide this and more.

Can we reject this ticket, or am I missing something?

FYI, the "since" column was supposed to show that (if the server has never connected, it's supposed to show the announcement-receipt time. If it is currently connected, it's supposed to show when the connection was established. If the server was once connected and is no longer connected, it's supposed to show when the connection was lost).

I'm pretty sure it's broken for at least one of these three cases, though, I remember being surprised by the timestamp it showed.

That sounds rather unintuitive. How about changing it to explicitly say what the time means, e.g. one of:

  • "Announced at ..."
  • "Connected since ..."
  • "Disconnected since ..."

?

Let's make this ticket about that (which isn't a duplicate of #648).
