TS3 viewer issues and site performance

You might've noticed lately that the site has been especially slow to go from page to page. It turns out it is because of the TS3 Viewer, and the fact that their website (which the viewer connects to to determine the state of our TS3 server) is apparently having some problems at the moment.

Note: The TS3 Viewer is the information under TEAMSPEAK 3 that usually appears under "Who's Online".

I made some performance enhancements that will allow the site to function fully again regardless of how long it takes for the TS3 Viewer to load (if at all).

Sorry for any issues this has caused in using the Lotus Fleet website.

OK, well the TS3 viewer was causing more trouble than it was worth, so for now I've just removed it. Once they fix their site, I will spend a bit more time and determine a better way to include it that is guaranteed not to break the site if this happens again.

Some of you may have noticed that the TS3 Viewer is back in working condition!

It is a little different... we still have the Teamspeak 3 section on the left navigation bar, but instead of always showing the list, you'll have to click "Who's Online" to get a popup view of the server. This is necessary to keep the TS3 Viewer's site issues from bogging down our own site.

So enjoy spying on your fellow Fleet Members to see who is having fun together in game or in an event, and use the opportunity to join in on the fun!
