Notes On Vocal's Status Page

Introduction

Vocal has finally introduced a Status page which I have been badgering them about for ages and put it into one of my pages over a year ago here.

Vocal's Status Page

The article

The site/page

The thing is, with anything like this it needs to be always current. That means every site issue needs to be flagged either by the system or moderators and it is showing that a fix has been applied but some users may still be encountering issues (I have done over the last two days), and that some things may be delayed or unavailable.

I maintain a work intranet and know how easy it is to be forgotten but, having launched this I am sure that Vocal will keep it up to date and it is a brilliant piece of host/user transparency.

Think of being on a train that just stops. If you hear nothing to may start to get a little annoyed. If there is an announcement that says "We are waiting for a signal but we don't know what the issue is, we will keep you informed" then you are a lot happier, still delayed but you know someone is monitoring the situation for you.

Conclusion

I know this is short, but this is a really useful addition to the Vocal platform. Or it would be if it wasn't like this

Thank you for that Vocal.
