Description Mark Miksis 2008-10-14 08:33:46 UTC

Does this really provide any useful information?  IMO it just takes up space and is potentially confusing to users trying to configure their firewalls.  I suggest removing it from all 3 UIs.

Comment 1 James Richardson 2008-10-14 08:41:41 UTC

can you provide a screen shot of what you want removed?

Comment 2 Mark Miksis 2008-10-14 08:46:00 UTC

A screenshot is probably not necessary.  In SC, go to Settings->Status and look at Player Information.  For each player, you will see a line like "Player Port Number: 48213".  The same is also displayed under player information in the SBCUI and playerUI.  IMO, this info is useless.

Comment 3 Markus Schiegl 2008-10-14 11:42:18 UTC

Maybe i'm the only who once found this information useful (albeit not really required). Some of my players are hidden behind the same IP address (firewall/nat config) so the source port is an easy way to distinguish between the players, e.g. for troubleshooting network problems.

If this information is dropped i won't argue - it's not that important ;)

change 23568 - get rid of player port number. It's (almost ;-)) useless and confusing.

Comment 5 Mark Miksis 2008-10-15 15:12:53 UTC

Michael, since you seem to agree with me on this, I suggest the port also be removed from the bottom of Settings->Player->Basic Settings.

Comment 6 Michael Herger 2008-10-15 22:59:22 UTC

change 23588 - remove port number from player information
