LOL - have to admit I did the same once, but taking a deep breath and checking all the entries including the instance before pressing both buttons is also a good idea

Re: Make the JCA highlight more clearly when you are on the Prod system!
Haha, yes, a very good idea.
The other day I upgraded some plugins, but because they took ages to upload I went off the page so missed the final 'are you sure' button, which meant they failed to deploy overnight.
Hence today I was a little over keen to make sure I said YES - failing to realise it was now the wrong system! Arg!
It didn't help that I had been in UAT, but the session had ended and when I logged back in, it dropped me into production without me noticing.

I've made that same mistake. Perhaps an even better option would be to ask as you are logging in which system you want to connect to. Have it be a choice instead of a default setting.

It makes me feel better I'm not the only one to have made this mistake..!
I like that idea about choosing when you log in as well. Not sure if anyone from Jive will see this suggestion....

Not sure who owns JCA? Darren Cruickshank is it you?

Re: Make the JCA highlight more clearly when you are on the Prod system!
I agree with Tracy, probably an option at login should be present which opens the desired environment and switching the environment is currently available after login in case if needed.

Hi Martin, thank you for your suggestion. I don't own the JCA, but I will bring this topic up with the development team. To be clear, you would like to see one or more of the following:
- Selection at login to determine which environment you are logging into during JCA login
- Watermark or some other visual differentiation to distinguish PROD and UAT environments
I definitely see value in bringing more visibility to the environment you are logged into and will work to prioritize this with the development team.
Thanks again!

Yes I think that's pretty much it!
Thanks for looking into this.

Martin Rowbory and folks, great feedback and suggestions.
Darren Cruickshank I'll be chatting with Curtis Gross to determine what and when we can make this better.

How about also changing "Are you sure you want to restart your site?" to "Are you sure you want to restart XXXX instance" - for those who can't read the top of the screen

Would love you to bring up this discussion again as I just made the same mistake (again)...!

I agree. The spot that shows which instance you are on is TINY, and it is very easy to make a mistake.
