New Login Process
Filed Under (Announcements) by Skyrover on March 13, 2008

By now you would have noticed that Skyrove has a slightly different login process!

In the past, you would automatically see a Status Window, which would display your login status (time, MB left, etc) and also any errors. The problem with this was that it behaved differently on IE6 and Firefox than on IE7 and some people never even saw the status window! It also made it difficult for people using mobile browsers to know what was going on.

With the new Login page, we will first log you in and only if there are no errors, will you see the “Welcome Page” (with links to show the maps, buy more credits etc). Once you are on the Welcome Page, you can now click on “Show Status Window”, which will then open a popup showing your login status.

We realise this might not be the perfect solution for everyone, but we do hope that the consistency between different platforms will be of benefit to you. Please let us know what you think or if you have any ideas on how we can further improve Skyrove!

We’ll give a 100 free credits to the first 20 40 people to leave a constructive comment!

Best,

Henk - Skyrove CEO

UPDATE:We’re running a little poll about what should happen when you close the Status Window. Please vote below!

UPDATE 2:Thanks for the response! Because of your suggestions, we now show your credit balance & remaining MB in the Welcome Page as well.

Hotspot Reports Overhaul
Filed Under (Features) by Skyrover on February 28, 2008

If you’re a Skyrover running some hotspots, you recently would have noticed a revamped My Account page. You can view your uploads, downloads and earnings either per hotspot or for all your hotspots combined.

(Click on the picture to enlarge)

When you Mouse Over the red, yellow or green sections, it will show you uploads, downloads and earnings respectively. If you prefer seeing the numbers, simply click on ’show table’ to get the same stats in table format.

What’s great about this is that you can now easily see if there were any problems with any of your hotspots at any time. In the example above, the hotspot was down for most of 25 & 26 February.

If you’d like to see how much money your hotspot made in a particular year, simply click on the year on the left hand side, and the graph will show a breakdown month by month, instead of day by day.

We’re sure you’ll like the new reporting tool a lot, but in case you prefer the old one, simply click on ‘Old Reports’.

Any feedback is welcome!
