fantastic! just installed it! The only problem is when it shows random apps in the showcase, under the picture, it says submit your app! when you click that, nothing happens. I am sure it can be fixed easily, but The plugin is still amazing! keeps all plugins and information handy where it can be easily viewed! Thanks! I also submitted my app to the showcase!

Hi David, nice asset and thanks very much for the credits! Just a couple of observations if I may.. Page title is system maintainence, not buzzcenter. Quite a bit of formatting is missing, there's no footer and the bar that runs along the top of the right box is missing. Would it be better at the Account Control Panel level, so all users can see it, not just admins? It doesn't need to be in the admin directory, it might get lost on server updates, no reason why it can't go in files/custom. Fixed width of iframe causes a lot of horizontal scrolling on smaller monitors. 100% width might be better. On a smaller monitor 500px height in the iframe cuts the bottom off. 700 is good. There's a lot of superflous code left over from the maintainence.php file, eg javascripts, database backups, script name etc etc.

"Would it be better at the Account Control Panel level, so all users can see it, not just admins?" I made it admins only since I figured only admins can install plugins, modifications, ect. Regular users of a self hosted server (such as "clients") would find most of this information useless. "It doesn't need to be in the admin directory, it might get lost on server updates, no reason why it can't go in files/custom." Your right - I placed it there for the same directory it would have been viewed in - but did not think of update losses... should be moved def. I just got your PM - will send the rest to you, appreciate the help! David buzztouchmods.com
