There's nothing stopping you from adding AA to your steam games library so that your clan or group of steam friends will know that you're playing AA

we would use it if we had a server on hospital permanently, but it's not a map specific setting

it's the same

AFAIK mapvote.u didn't get distributed to linux servers.  You can download it
here
or with full instructions and optional config example here

I've always had mouse5 set as an action key.  Recently, for objects that you have to hold it down for, it doesn't activate the objective status bar.  For example, in pipeline, turning the valve (turns the valve), but the green meter bar doesn't come up.  Nor for the computer objective.  Setting the 'action' key back to a keyboard binding works ok.  For mouse, it does not.  I recently changed the mouse, so it might be the mouse but I thought I'd run it by here since you guys are always shutting down macros and such to see if maybe that was it.

I'm guessing the purpose of having the website shoutbox in the Assist client was to foster community.  But the same content on the website on the Assist client seems to be full of drama and whiny people.  Drama and complaints probably shouldn't be on the Assist client.  It gives a false impression of our community.  Well, maybe not a false one...
But it is full of useless reading because now we've made it easier for trolls and people needing support to just use the shoutbox rather than come on here and make a post.  I'm not sure what a solution would be other than to remove it, because the alternative would be to moderate it, which would be difficult to do.  Or, leave it like it is, giving new players the impression that what's left of the community is not worth considering the game.  Many people come to play the game to get away from drama.

Yep.  The urge to make everything an app really bloats your tablet/phone when most things can be accomplished in html.  Doesn't have to be really mobile format these days either, as most mobile browsers handle 'desktop' browsing adequately anyways, although this site looks different in webkit, firefox and chrome.  So ideally maybe optimize the landing page after login to show everything relevant for both desktops and mobile browsers. The trick is getting things to look nice in a narrow pixel width that might be 720 or so for mobile browsers in vertical mode. 
Currently it looks like this in chrome: 
which doesn't look useable.  I think that lands squarely on the news page. 
My 2 cents:
Maybe the forum page should be the default  page again.  Things I look for when I get here is:  Last few posts with a link to read unread posts, the shoutbox, personal messages waiting.  Maybe add the top few populated servers but I don't think that's what people really want to see when they look at this on a phone or tablet.  Maybe add BT stats.
