I'm following the WU - Let us know your issues but but figured Sean and his team had enough issues to keep them busy for months to come. My webcam started dropping from my PWS several weeks back. The webcam would be inactive on the WU webcam sign up in page. I would edit the page, save and get a message to wait 12-48 hours for approval. The webcam would be back up the next day. Last week I lost the PWS page and the web cam continue to update a short period of time after the page said weather station not reporting. The next time I checked, the webcam was gone and not active on the WU sign up page. Yesterday Sean's team made my webcam active on the sign up page but my PWS says WebCam missing. I see many WebCams are appearing up to date/time on the WU webcam map.
I have a DLink DCS-7010L camera with a small web interface that allows me to FTP directly to webcam.wunderground.com. I had the time set to 5 minutes and not send pictures at night. When the images started getting hours behind I started sending at night and it helped about the webcam going inactive on the sign up page. The image is only about 50k. My webcam allows me to test my FTP image upload. The test is currently getting an error about 3 out of 4 tries. I can't ping webcam.wunderground.com. Whois, Port Scan, Finger and other services report nothing. I assume this is by design to protect the site.
I was think the WU servers were overloaded to the point I could not get images up to the site often enough to keep my webcam active. Now that my webcam is staying active, I still can't get a single image to load and others are successful. Any thoughts??? Thanks
