I've noticed that the DreamHost Control Panel has been enhanced to include status information on the left (beneath the navigation). It shows both disk and transfer usage. A nice little addition, methinks.

Very nice, I like it. Also check out the one click installs, they are now grouped according to what version of php it will run on. Way to go DH.

Yeah, it should make it easier to see at a glance if you are approaching the limits (not that I have ever come anywhere near doing so).

I also noticed that the 'Submit Support Request' form has been put back on the 'Contact Support' page. For a while it required an extra click on something like 'If you still need to contact support', I guess a lot of users didn't see this at the bottom of the page.

That is a good and useful change, as well as the reworking of the "oneclick" menus *and the "return" of the Contact Support Form to its traditional location.

Those lst two would have precluded the need for a least 4-5 threads I've been involved in in the last few days. I think it also shows that, whether they "speak up" or not, DH *does* visit these forums wink.

And it shows the cricket scores, weather forecast and financial movements... oh no that was my Yahoo page I was looking at!

The green colour (or color) for the disk usage is a bit insipid. I wonder if anyone has manged to get movement on the bandwidth meter yet?
