[opensource-dev] STORM-243 - simulator version notifications

[Erin Mallory]

I would also like to see the toast moved.  it can be useful and would be more useful if it had the actual version.  but i would like to see it on the chat history instead.  in fact... it would be nice to have an option to have ALL remaining system notifications be optionally shown in chat history instead of as toasts.  for one thing it would log better i think, for another...  well toasts bother a rather significant portion of sl.   those with some forms of epilepsy, migraines, some forms of add... to name a few...

Doesn't it add some minor overhead to region crossings? I don't care about it. The message does not say what server version you just entered so it is mostly an annoyance. If I need version info I know where it is. 

What I would like to see is region rating and a single letter server version code on the map without having to mouse float.

Hi, folks. I've just commented on STORM-243, which requests that we have Yet Another Option to allow
 suppression of the toast that tells you the simulator version changed when you changed to a new region. 

I think we should delete it entirely. Does anyone care to still get that notification, now that there are usually 3 different simulator versions live on the grid at any time? I don't mean "I can think of an obscure scenario when someone might care." I mean does anyone really need a notification about this, or can we just delete it?
