Topic: Wundermap Dashboard

[westhillman]

Surprised no one else has noticed that the Wundermap Dashboard pages are failing to load the map and the graphs. This has been the case for the last two or three days.  I have checked on more than one computer and on different browsers, all with the same result. Have sent a ticket to Wundermap.

Hi. What else is New Today..?  You know, Jachym.. there are those faithful followers , Bless 'em, of wunderweenies, it's just ...  over and  over, and  over...

I see even the ads have now been pulled from the aforementioned page.  If the advertisers are now taking an interest, that should have more effect than Cutty Sarks endless head banging rants.

Yep... head-banging rants... whatever...
a few of us picked up on, and predicted several years ago
this process of 'eliminating' the little guys who started us out'...
... good to see someone besides the handful of us are beginning to pay attention
...wake up, WU lovers!   You need to look for an alternative!

Frankfort Weather DOES NOT send data directly to WeatherUnderground or any other commercial provider. (Especially one named specifically after a 1960s radical underground domestic terrorist group). Many have demonstrated inaccurate and unreliable data presentation, poor response to inquiries, and erratic performance of associated APIs. PWS operators have pride, and considerable time and monetary investment in their weather data and such issues degrade those investments. Further, Frankfort Weather does not endorse, encourage or condone the blatant commercial 'scraping' and 'marketing' of Personal Weather Station and Site Products world-wide without permission and acknowledgement.

For some people there is one positive thing about WU not being reliable, accurate etc. - if it was I would simply send data to WU and never think about doing things my way

Am I the only one with webcam problems? In my Foscam settings I do the test and nothing happens except my picture is no longer on WU. Works fine on my computer and my phone.

For those that didn't live in the radical 60's.
The Weathermen were a radical offshoot of the larger group Student for a Democratic Society (SDS).

They were also known as the weather underground.

They took their name from the Bob Dylan song "Subterranean Homesick Blues" which contains the line "you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows"
