I resolved this by placing the pressure lines attribute at the end of the page URL. This is what I use to open Windy.com, so that works well.

@Ondřej-Šutera I look at clouds, maybe radar, I don't know. I'm attaching a screen snapshot for what I have. It opened with pressure lines showing without me having to do anything, which is what I want. Often times it does not do that which is an annoyance.

The fact it does save my settings and does open the way I want to, is significant. The problem is the unreliability of that.

I open the same web addresses as a set of tabs together, and I do that on multiple machines. Some of my settings persist across all machines. The pressure lines setting does not seem to do that as well. If I set that on one of the machines, it will remain the next time I open the application, but will eventually go away and I have to set it again.

@Ondřej-Šutera , hello, the pressure isolines in attached picture.

When I set pressure lines to appear they do not always show again in the next browser session. Sometimes the setting persists. Sometimes not. Usually not.

If I open three browser windows with Chrome current version on Windows 11 current version, display Windy.com in each window and none show pressure lines, if I set one window to show pressure lines and refresh pages in the other two windows, they will then show pressure lines. This proves the attribute, setting, or cookie is being saved and read. It just is not persisting between sessions and I have set this repeatedly.

I would like to have a map as clean as possible showing only what I want to show. Please add an option toggle in the menu pane to disable all widgets. That means, if I want to change the layer, I would have to first go to the menu and enable widgets and get the layer widget.

Playing with the web app on my desktop, it seems the widgets change based on the layer displayed. Also turning off expert mode causes the layer selection widget to fold, making it smaller. I will make a suggestion to optionally hide all widgets by toggling a switch in the menu.

Items to which I pointed in my image appear to be fixed and not removeable. I'm not talking about layers, but widgets on the display. Can they be removed? Can someone from windy.com please reply since I pay for the service?

@korina The problem is, if the Chrome browser displayed the correct error message, I could have seen why the upload would not work. That is the error. You should fix that issue.

@idefix37 I do not have to try to find an answer in previous postings. I don't have time to do infinite research. I pay money for this service and I want the service to work for me. I did my job, since I do this type thing for a living, and I supplied feedback for an issue I saw, so the product can be made better.

@idefix37 No, and because Chrome didn't say anything except "error" I didn't know why, and had to do trial and error and spend time.

@idefix37 What about the difference in error messages between Chrome and Firefox? I screwed with that for a long time. I went to Firefox because no reason accompanied the error in Chrome and I wanted to see if changing browsers would help.

@idefix37 @petra-pik Yes, that does work. Thanks!

See the community posting where I attempted the upload and finally succeeded with two issues documented there.

The issue occurred with different browsers and whether I drag/dropped or used the upload button. Also I'm a paid subscriber if that makes a difference.

@petra-pik I am uploading. I zoomed in on a hurricane to show the track better.

Cannot upload. A little window pops up saying "error" with a red line that grows to extend across the top while the image transmits. I will try with Firefox.

Firefox displays more in the window, below "error" with "request entity too large". The PNG file is one megabyte. So two problems exist with the application: accepting a reasonably sized image and difference in messages between Chrome and Firefox. I will shrink to a JPG and see if that works.

I love looking at cyclones and wind around the world with Windy. Tracks show for hurricanes. How can I turn that off? it often interferes with coastlines and islands. I will toggle when needed.
