    The dashboard not changing color is related to S3 issue.
    See the banner at the top of the dashboard for updates.

So it's not just a joke... S3 being down actually breaks its own status page!

For this kind of page it might be best for them to use a data URI image to remove as many external resources as possible.

Unicode characters would work fine, and be even smaller.

Warning sign, octagonal sign, no Entry (all filtered by HN).

There are plenty of possibilities.

I was thinking they should host the little green check mark icons on s3.
