      Well, you said you will bring back time update of different models with new version. I see new version but can't find time updates. it still takes more clicks to open different models that I would hope for, but no time update - which was your justification for this unfortunate idea of adding unnecessary clicks to the procedure.

      Or, am I missing something? Did you place it yet in a different area?
      Please explain.

        I live in a hurricane belt zone, and we are in hurricane season. knowing if weather was just updated or it is "old news": is vital. much more than large colorful icons you spent so much time and enthusiasm implementing.
        This is about reliability, efficiency, and clarity of information for many of us. not about Nintendo game appeal of clicking through.

          For a very long time, model updates have been displayed

          • By clicking on the small circled i at bottom right corner of your screen in the browser version

          • In the menu of the mobile app.

          At least you can find the update time, even it needs more clicks than previously.

            Thanks for the heads up re that, noted.
            Easier than going to the 'Compare Forecasts etc', but I access using bookmarked pages with the forecast view displayed, thus having to close the forecast view [and lose the location] to be able to see that Info icon on bottom right of screen.
            Looking forward to seeing update time and 'xx hours ago' coming back to the Forecast view ;)

            the deeper the blue......

              please see screenshot and enlighten me where is round I icon in bottom right of my screen.

              And tell me why a return of this function where it used to be, was promised by Admin several days ago?
              I am puzzled why you always send users to search where things you changed are, or if they work as before. Why on earth you need to change things so often, when they work well?

                @Holoboss You need to hit the 'x' on the forecast panel to close it (re: your screenshot), then look to where you can select different models on the bottom right. There is an icon in the top line "i" for info.

                I currently have the ECMWF model selected as well as the Rain, thunder layer.

                also: And tell me why a return of this function where it used to be, was promised by Admin several days ago?
                @Suty said they are looking to update it in v48....I'm currently on v47.1.4 using Chrome...so as far as I can tell v48 isn't here yet.

                lol also: Why on earth you need to change things so often, when they work well?
                I am puzzled as well. Theoretically, there's a reason.

                  @Wheats Thank you very much. I would NEVER find it without your help. I do not enjoy spending time clicking around to discover what this time developers changed. I am here to quickly check weather updates :-)

                  I think current designer of this app always wanted to do computer games, and has unfulfilled passion for adding extra clicks and unnecessary steps, oversized icons, and so on - stuff that may be fun for him, but not to many users of this app, ha ha.

                  Thank you again. cheers!

                      As many mentioned, you can always find the info in the "i" icon. But we have also moved it back to the bottom menu for the currently selected model.
