Why force a click to see the result? Seems like a good way to ensure you get bogus data.

Good question. That's why I threw in the Haven't Tried option, but you might be right.

He is right. I would remove the "Haven't Tried" option and reposition the elements so that the status report is prominent and the option for user input is secondary.

Just implemented this change, and I find it much improved. Thanks.

Now the next thing would be to figure out appropriate network metrics to monitor the PSN server. I suppose portscanning Sony would be considered a bad idea though.
