Site Updates & Changelog

Added detailed troubleshooting page to help server owners configure their shards for proper status monitoring. Includes step-by-step setup guides for all major emulators (RunUO, ServUO, ModernUO, Sphere, UOX3) with specific configuration files and settings. Features network troubleshooting, firewall configuration tips, and monitoring frequency information.

Enhanced error reporting system with detailed, user-friendly messages for server connectivity issues. Added specific error types for connection refused, timeouts, and protocol failures. Improved error message visibility and styling, with direct links to troubleshooting guide for quick problem resolution.

Resolved critical issue where two different cron jobs were conflicting and causing incorrect server score calculations. The system now properly calculates scores using the correct formula: 70% player activity + 30% Discord community, plus occupancy and community bonuses. This ensures fair and accurate server rankings.

Added support for two additional popular Ultima Online emulators: UOX3 and ModernUO. These emulators now appear correctly in the emulator selection dropdown when adding new servers, giving server owners more accurate categorization options for their shards.

Fixed authentication issue where server owners with permanent passwords couldn't use temporary "forgot password" codes. The login system now properly checks both permanent and temporary passwords, allowing all server owners to regain access to their management panels when needed.

Improved system robustness by adding comprehensive NULL value handling for new servers. The system now gracefully handles missing Discord counts, player data, or server information without causing errors. Additionally, added "Classic" server type option for traditional UO experience servers, giving players better filtering options to find their preferred gameplay style.

Introduced a new verification system to help you identify trusted servers! Verified servers display green badges indicating information confirmed by server owners or staff, while community-listed servers show helpful gray badges. This replaces the old favorite system with something more meaningful for choosing reliable servers.

Added intelligent monitoring system that keeps track of server health and automatically notifies server owners when connectivity issues are detected. Features progressive email alerts at 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, and 1 month intervals to help maintain accurate server information.

Enhanced the server management panel with smarter validation that only requires server connectivity checks when IP or port changes. Added easy access panel button in site header for logged-in server owners and permanent login sessions that don't timeout.

Added convenient "Server Panel" link in the site footer for easy access from any page. Improved session management with separate handling for temporary verification codes (1 hour) and permanent passwords (no timeout). Server owners can now stay logged in until they manually logout.

Finding your favorite UO shards and navigating the site is now even easier! We've added dynamic suggestions to our search bar to give you ideas on what to look for, and made search results better highlight matching server tags. We've also improved internal site routing for a more seamless browsing experience and updated page titles and descriptions for better clarity.

Refined player count calculation algorithms with improved time-based estimation patterns. Enhanced accuracy for server statistics and better data reliability across different time periods.

Implemented advanced player count estimation algorithms using time patterns and Discord data analysis. Added visual indicators to help users distinguish between real-time and estimated player counts across all servers.

Updated server host detection logic to properly handle www subdomain configurations. Improved production environment detection for better site functionality and performance.

Improved server list loading speed and responsiveness. Enhanced page performance for smoother browsing experience when viewing server information and categories.

Added comprehensive filtering system with improved breadcrumb navigation. Enhanced user interface with modern styling and better contact information accessibility in the footer.
