Status Window Changes

We brought back the Status Window (pictured below) in October last year, and the one major complaint we had was that it would pop up to the foreground whenever it refreshed if you use Internet Explorer! So rather than asking everybody to switch to an Open-Source browser such as Firefox or Opera, we decided to stop automatically refreshing the status window altogether. The status window also would take up some processing power and use a little bit of data every time it refreshed. The drawback is that in future you will have to click the ‘Refresh Stats’ button in order to see the latest usage statistics. Please let us know what you think and if there is any way in which we can improve it further! UPDATE: Due to your feedback, we’ve decided to make a small change. In future, the Status Window will refresh the moment you click on it!

    Dont like it to be honest.

    It also seems to timeout often after a long session when trying to log off using either hyperlink on main status or pop up. Often have to click three of four times / refresh before it works properly.

    I am enjoying this at the moment. Will post another comment in a month.

    Not liking the new “non-automatic” refresh system. Was nice to chack every now and then for an update on my use whilst surfing. Come on guys, it really couldn’t have been that expensive to keep.

    Last few days I can’t even get the status window to log out or refresh – something gone awry. Didn’t mind the non-auto refresh but now either doesn’t work at all or is vvveeeerrrryyyy slow.

    My customers struggle with it actually and always end up closing it. It would be much nicer if it minimised into the Notification Area on bottom right in Windows XP. Is that possible?

    Could you help me. After my first attempt of 600 rand I started with buying more credits. This was a mistake, I should never reach that level in one week in SA. Could you help me by giving back the second amout of money. Also how can I change my password?
    Thanks for responding me on this e-mail address.
