Invision think that they have hopefully tracked down the thing causing all of the problems over the last few days, so hopefully the community will be a lot more stable from here on in.
Also, although it's unrelated to the slow-speeds and 'temporarily unavailable' messages, those seeing the 400 error and needing to clear their cookies and cache should hopefully stop seeing that now as well.
Obviously, please continue to post in here if you do spot any problems. Thanks to everyone for flagging these issues up, it's been very helpful.

Due to technical issues, the model highlights thread system isn't currently working unfortunately. So, for the time being 'insightful' posts won't be copied over.
The problem has been resolved now, so the highlights thread is back up and running again, and those posts with enough insightful reactions will be copied over into it automatically.

Yep, is messy right now, to say the least. I think Invision are on and looking at it as I type, so with a bit of luck...

Please can we keep this thread to issues around slow speeds and the forum being unavailable. If you have another type of problem, feel free to start a thread.

Well this is grim - the database errors are back this evening. Invision have been informed, so hopefully it'll be sorted shortly.
-
An update just went live on the viewer - Arome and Arpege are now available, with a handful of params to start with. We've also improved the gridded number displays, for improved performance and to tighten up the zoom on them as you zoom in, for more detail
-
We've set up some additional monitoring of the speed and uptime of the community, which picked up the slowness and odd error overnight. So we'll be able to pass the info over to Invision as evidence of the issues if it's ongoing. That may hopefully encourage them to look a bit more closely at things.

Apparently there has been a database problem over the last few days, which has now been resolved. So, hopefully things will run more smoothly now. Please continue to post in here if you see any more errors or experience slow speeds, though

Clearing your cookies should solve that @noel

I've put a notice up - if you've seen errors or have found the community slow on regular occasions of late, please let us know in here.

That's unrelated and sounds like a corrupt cookie or similar - if you clear your cookies and cache it should it that out.

We have a ticket in with Invision about this. Getting them to investigate when they don't see it happening themselves is proving a challenge unfortunately, which is very frustrating. But, we'll get to the bottom of it one way or the other - even if that means moving back to hosting the community on our own servers again, rather than using their managed service.

As I said above, we're testing it for a bit. It's been switched on for 48 hours, so not enough time to gauge how it's used, gather feedback etc.
For what it's worth, the sidebar is on as default on this forum software, with many communities using it without too many issues. So, although it's different to what we're used to using on here, it's tried and tested so to speak.
As it stands there's no option available to allow individual users to switch it on and off, it's a global setting.

Yes, it's just on wider screens

Rather than the current matrix or the rigid Irish criteria for weather warning categories, something more akin to how the Met Office defines heatwaves, with thresholds for each region. These thresholds themselves can thus take account of the extent to whether a weather event is unusual for a given a location and factor in the severity of impacts
I think it would need more nuance than that. For instance at the moment, with the rain we've had already, impacts of further rain are magnified, so they're going to warn about that for lower accumulations than usual at this time of year.

It's something we're testing at the moment, for a few reasons. One is readability, as narrowing the text can help with that. Another is utilising the sidebar space, which will may become particularly useful in an upcoming release of the community.
Obviously, we'll be taking feedback on board as we test.

24 minutes ago, ANYWEATHER said:People will die with warnings or not
That genuinely makes no sense, and I think deep down you must know it. If during severe weather less people are out and about, clearly less will get hurt or killed. It's not a new or unusual concept, and frankly is just common sense, which I see you've been preaching elsewhere in the thread, so....

Nice bit of snow on the Cairngorms today.
And a dry sunny day too, will mark it in the diary!

Some areas showing 200mm on the radar accumulation
It's still raining here, cannot remember a day like this in my entire life, constant rain literally all day
It's not 200, its second on the 'pink' part of the scale. If you select 'clickable map' from the overlay menu and click the map, you can view the actual figures.

Can we keep to the topic in here please, that is to discuss storm babet and its impacts.
The arguing over what can and can't be posted in here needs to stop.

Isn't that like a month to a month and a half's worth of rain in 24 hours
It's potentially a lot more than that - average monthly rainfall for eastern Scotland in October is 128mm approx.

Some mind blowing and extremely concerning (radar estimated) rainfall totals in eastern Scotland. 254mm northwest of Stonehaven.
Didn't expect to see the day where our 24 hour accumulation scale gets maxed out at over 250mm...
