Perhaps this site is the only one that does it then?

[Paul]

No, as I say it's by design and works this way on all installations of this version of the software.

Temp profile maps wrong - would be grateful if you can reply on separate thread back

thanks

[Paul]

Hi, sorry been ill this week. Which maps are you referring to, as we have alot of model based temperatures maps on the site  

[sriram]

NMM overlays menu  on radar then selecting temperature which brings the temperature profile colour map ( this menu has option to select wind gust and air pressure )

I don't see a problem with them in terms of them being upto date and a true representation of what the nmm model is showing for the timeslot. They also match the weather stations across the country fairly closely, obviously though it is just an overview so isn't going to show in complete detail all of the local temperature variations that there may be.

[sriram]

thanks - are the temperature profile maps generated from temperatures at the time from weather recording stations. I have started an individual thread which I have started under the heading "help support and feedback" - it seems strange that regional variations can go so far from being +5 on the temp profile map to -2 that I have measured at the same time !

If you're wanting live station temperatures, it's not the NMM maps you need, select temperature from the live weather menu  

[sriram]

What do the colours of the temperature profile of the NNM map actually mean ?

and the wind gusts and air pressure NNM maps ?

[Paul]

They're from the nmm model for that timeslot, so are usually accurate when compared to actuals on the ground, ie they should give you a very good idea of what's happening.

[sriram]

What does NNM stand for -

so I guess its just a guide to various parameters and NOT actual measurements for temperature air pressure and wind gusts etc

[Paul]

It's a forecasting model.

For some reason, I can't seem to change the date and time format. Is it fixed?

[Paul]

Not sure what you're meaning William, which date/time format are you looking to change?

[BornFromTheVoid]

I'm not sure if this is possible, but with the way the "NETWEATHER BROWSE ACTIVITY" tabs remain available as you scroll down the screen, could something similar be done with the subsection tabs at the top and bottom of the thread? What I mean, for example, is the "Home| Welcome To The Netweather Community - Weather Forum| Help, support and feedback| Forum upgrade - info, bugs, support" options that are only at the top or bottom of the this thread.
Is there anyway to make them always available to select too, like the "NETWEATHER BROWSE ACTIVITY" tabs?

[Paul]

Hi Sam, I'm not sure to be honest as the top menu is part of a separate system in many respects. I assume you're looking for an easier way back into the forum area the thread is posted into?

Yeah, that's what I'm after. It would speed up site navigation a little, make me that bit more lazy! It's no big deal, just might be handy.

[Paul]

Ok, yeah can see why it may be handy. Will have a think about the best way it could be done. 

[Mokidugway]

Browse and activity options aren't working even if I hover , any tips 

 

[Paul]

Would recommend clearing your browser cache, as they seem to be working ok in all the browsers I test in  

[Mokidugway]

Cheers will do

Just a minor observation. Editing a post you need to change the edit post button at the bottom to save or save changes rather than leaving as edit as you're already editing it and finished the job.

I was wondering if you could change the date/time format of the date and times around the forum e.g. on posts.

I was just updating my signature this morning from winter stats to summer stats, and I noticed there are no options for changing the signature text colour anymore. Any chance of adding them back in?
