    It would be nice if when servers cannot be reached it displays a message saying 'offline' or 'on standby' as servers that are run for weekly operations are not kept on all the time.

    Also the ability to name the server would be nice, e.g.

     

    'Public Server:

     

    3CB Operation Ursus v13
    Map: Reshmaan
    Players: 3/106
    Version: 
    Dedicated: 
    Address: '
     
    'Private Server:
     
    Offline 
    Map: N/A
    Players: 0/106
    Version: 
    Dedicated: 
    Address: '
     
    so if it has made a connection with the server at least once the status goes from 'Offline' to 'On standby'.

     

     

    Any news on being able to name servers ?

    Apply button: Is there a way to make the apply button customizable and link to our unit's website application area instead of the integrated one provided? I know the A3 units is being set-up to be integrated into the BIS site, but not every unit member has a BI account. I think it would be helpful to have the application part able to be split up into a few different areas:

     

    -Leave it as it is and manage unit applications through the BI site

     

    -Have a customizable link to a unit's application area(or maybe both?)

     

    -Have a "I am already a member of this unit" button so that people can "apply" with their unit name and be instantly accepted to get their unit tags on the BI forums

     

    Also, will it be setup so that multiple people can manage the unit as "officers" so that it's not all just on one person doing everything? I don't see that outlined in the OPREP.

     

    I think this has the potential to be a great tool to help units of all sizes as well as players looking for specific gaming experiences.

     

    I also wouldn't mind longer unit tags. [506th IR] instead of [506th]   :)

    Was thinking about this earlier, as many different units have different application process the ability to customise and link the apply button the our own application area will be a much needed feature.

    Great to hear! Randomized display of units on the main page or potentially changing it to NEWEST FIRST (or some other criteria) is something we wanted to do once we have/had enough units (it's going quite fast already :D). For the rest, we are definitely planning some more elegant integration of squad.xml via Arma 3 Units. Lastly, once the joining of units with Bohemia Accounts is implemented, we definitely intend to give the option to display unit size based on the number of associated Bohemia Accounts (hope I explain that clear enough). So all of your points are very important to keep in mind. Thanks for the help, it's much appreciated!

    Sounds like bug (we'll have to look into this). So far I haven't seen any duplicate units myself, but if people do find duplicates, then we hope they will use the REPORT UNIT form (can be found on the bottom of each unit profile) so we can investigate further.

     

    reported a few, seems to be quite a few of them. Looks to be more likely a bug in the search than people making copies.

    Hi,

    When viewing units UNITS SIZE(LARGEST FIRST) my unit does not appear on thsi list, however when viewing in smallest first and newest/oldest it appears on the list.

    Also I see many duplicate units appearing on the list, will there be a system in the future that will prevent copies of the same unit?

    Hi,

    When clicking 'browse units' and search just '3' to find my unit I get a message saying 'The Unit Name must be a string' and no groups are visible in the browser, 'FOUND: 0 UNITS'.

    But there is still the 'Join one of the 64 units' text appearing properly.

    When I type '3 C' it then works.
