+ <strong>Configuring the list of JABAWS servers</strong><br> The
+ main area of the panel shows the list of <a href="JABAWS.html">JABAWS</a>
+ servers that Jalview is currently aware of. The list includes a colour coded status:
+ green indicates that all services are available for a given server,
+ amber signifies that one or more services on the server are not fully
+ functional, and red highlights servers that could not be contacted or
+ are not functional for some other reason.
+ </p>
+ <p>A server's URL may be added,
edited by double clicking on it, or deleted by selecting it and using
the buttons below. After adding or editing a server's URL, you will be
asked if you wish to test the server. If you wish to do so, then first
define the layout of the menus provided for JABAWS services by sorting
them into submenus according to analysis type and/or host server.</p>
<p><em>The web services preferences panel was added in Jalview
-2.6</em></p>
+2.6, and server status indications added in Jalview 2.8.</em></p>
+<p><strong><a name="wswarnings">Web Services Invalid

+<strong><em>Note:</em></strong> this warning will be shown if you are running the Jalview desktop
+without any network connection, or if you have configured
+<a href="JABAWS.html">JABA services</a>
+which cannot be accessed from your location. Should you wish to disable
+these warnings, then uncheck the
+<em>Display warnings</em>
