    • RE: Appearance

      Why not have an option at the top of the page, "Try New Interface" a month before launch?

      Then you could let people try the interface, provide feedback and switch it off until things get fixed.

      That would be far better than messing things up.

    • RE: Please bring back the previous interface for desktop

      @Suty Please allow the enabling of labels... Nothing is more important that that. Icons that look like screen grab of a map are meaningless to me.

    • RE: Wind Chill

      @korina said in Wind Chill:

      @jimerb Relative humidity is already available at https://www.windy.com/-Humidity-rh?rh,33.375,-22.220,3

      yes but often sites compute a "real feel" temperature in much the same way as windchill.

      80deg with 95% humidity feels hotter than 90 degrees with low humidity for example. The air's ability to evaporate sweat is inhibited because of the saturated air. So it feels hotter.

    • RE: Wind Chill

      While your at it a measurement for the summer given relative humidity would be helpful. It would make the data helpful year round.

      @Suty The design should respect the fact that your entire user base knows the system already. If they find it less intuitive -- then it is less intuitive. There's 10 zillion layers -- who WANTS to remember what 10 zillion icons look like? You NEED labels. (and hovering over 10 labels to find the popup is not the answer.)

    • Suggestion: Use Micro Surveys To Infuence Changes

      I use midjourney and they always are conducting "micro surveys" to get quick feedback on what users would like. They may do 5 or 6 of these a week.

      They may ask for example,

      How do you feel about having icons in the toolbar with no labels?

      1. Strongly oppose
      2. oppose
      3. Neutral
      4. In Favor
      5. Strongly In Favor

      Then in just a day or so, the admins / developers know if it's a good idea or not to implement a change they have in mind without investing in the development time first. Here's an (off topic) example so you can see how it looks:

    • Lightning but No Thunder Circles

      There have been times when I would get circles emanating from lighting strikes on the radar layer to show the thunder as it travels. But that hasn't been happening for me as of late.

      I go to an area with active lightning and as new strikes occur there are no thunder circles.

      Why is this? Do i have to turn something on?

      I use the desktop and IOS apps for ipad and iphone.

    • Plugin's Can I make them Stick?

      There are a few Plugins I always want to play with.

      Is there a way to make it so they are always installed instead of adding them each time i launch my browser?

      Thanks.

    • RE: Isobares disappear

      @Suty Why turn them off? Seems unnecessary.

    • New Features Popup Never Goes Away

      I constantly get the same popups over and over again telling me how to use the hurricane tracker or new features. I select delete on mobile apps and click the X on windows and it still pops up.

      It's pretty annoying.

      Why can you just make it so that if i delete it, it doesn't show up again on any device? I know how to use the hurricane tracker, I don't need to be reminded 100 times. Or feature updates. Once is enough.

      This is what I'm talking about:

    • Icon Formatting Issue In Browser

      My toolbar is not formatting properly. It is unexpectedly taking two columns instead of one. This is repeatable on my windows 11 computer with firefox browser. Edge is working okay but I don't use that.

      The browser's zoom is 100%.

      Here's a screen Image:

    • RE: now were onto something on the apperance

      Yes much better. Feels like the IOS desktop with jiggling icons that move around. I like it.

      And labels! I'm content.

    • New Interface Problem: Pinned icons Not Working right

      I have items on my homepage that are not pinned.

      I can't get rid of them. For example I don't want PM2.5 there. it's not pinned -- yet there it is. I also can't put them in order. If i pin the item it jumps to the top. Then i unpin it and it jumps back to where it is on the screenshot.
