What about adding proxy support to the statuschecker?

Feel free to do so. The people that have problems with the basic status check may still find that there host blocks the connections so proxy unlikely to fix there problem.
I wont be doing so this hack is about as good as its going to get. I simply dont have the time or the patience anymore to consider improving it further.

If I have some spare time I will give it a go
I know it won't fixxes the problem for others but it will be a bit more safer ;)

Please do.......

it looks like if u add it to the functions_fxppack.php it will work im just not sure how to do it myself.

I addded allready manual check so users can mod itself or only admin or whatever... posting later

STVP

How can i turn it off.....

I really have a problem with the ftp checker....the are NO problems if i post my homeserver and let it check by ftp cheker...it say's ONLINE.
But most of the others are offline...but the are online.
It's making me really crazy now. I tried to delete the ftp checker, but that will not work, or i am doing something wrong.
It's making me crazy....is the somebody on the planet earth whio has a fix for this problem..???

i dont understand something:
i have the exact same base and scripts on my computer as I have on the remote host.
The check ftp status works well in my comp but it is acting weird in the remote host.
Here is what I get when I just click on the check it button.
on my comp:
Online
Updated 6 seconds ago

on the remote host:
Online
Updated -40 minutes -40 seconds ago

Do you know what is wrong ? Different time settings maybe between my comp and the host ?
