Topic: WU - Let us know your issues

[WSWeather]

I'm going to enjoy it while I can. I hope they keep it around until ALL the issues with the new page are resolved but who knows...?

I'm going with the theory that whomever's bonus was riding on releasing this buggy claptrap to production has cashed the check and now, maybe, the adults can retake control and do what should have been done in the first place...debug, test, debug some more, test some more, ask those who use it what they think on a beta site BEFORE IT GOES LIVE.

Fun times.

The whole layout of big blocks is a waste of space. I like to see temp and wind and quick summary right at the top.

The huge map is a waste of space up top and data/proc hog.

The masses-of-whitespace design is, unfortunately, the current hipster trend for web site layout, because no-one would ever access a site on anything other than a mobile device, specifically something like a 12" iPad Pro or Surface Pro.  Just be thankful the WU folks haven't succumbed to the flat UI brain rot...

Thank you!! This looks great and they appear to understand that most of the world uses metric! I've asked them if they can add support for my PWS model. Maybe there is hope

Wow, that site's actually really nice.  Think I'll try it too.

[zakhooi]

I just started with my PWS two days ago just to find out WU has been all messed up by IBM.
My problem: all my data timestamp two hour behind the proper time. With DST that is.
My station ID: IALMEL1

I hope some decent progress will be made to solve the issues as this was not my expectation when starting with PWS.

When did the issues start? And how many of you feel like progress has been made so far?

From what I've read the following is true:

WU Currently Works with:

• Chrome
• Edge
• Firefox

It sort-of works with Firefox, probably no better or worse than any other J.Random browser - I've just tried it with IE and it's broken in both browsers, just differently broken.  So it really only works with Chrome and Edge.

I don't know what's going on... Maybe I'm dreaming, or died and went to heaven but I'm seeing my old page again. It's beautiful, Rapidfire, Temps in 10ths, Summary that works... I even have a gold star! 

Tell me it's true, I'm not believing...

It's beautiful!! </wipes tears>

ZOMG, everything works again!  Everything in metric, the title has my location not just "PWS Dashboard", soil conditions are shown, it's showing the actual rain rate not 0.00mm (wrong to two decimal places, there are sheets of water pouring down the driveway), etc.

The big problem of weathercloud is in free account only data updates every 10 minutes,
and if you paid 5€ month updates every 1 minute
send them free data of your station and on top of having to pay to consult them is a bit ruinous

to call it BETA is to be very benevolent, the new design is ALPHA total, 
and for the vast majority that we use the metric system does not even reach ALPHA

Is the old view also available for weather station which have been setup with the new UI? My station was setup with the new UI and I can’t see the old but running well UI.

in url you need put lowercase "id"  for old design
if put upercasse "ID" redirect to new design

Lets take our time and find more [free, or low payment plan] alternatives:

Can you post more alternative sites? WU is so unreliable [IBM ]

For the WU Team:

My dashboard (in both the new-style and the old style-then new style-back to old style versions) shows my city as New South Wales.

As raised in a previous post, New South Wales is a state of Australia (there are 6 states and 2 major territories), and is larger in size that Texas - meaning a city forecast for "New South Wales" is going to be pretty much useless.
........

Similar situation here:

https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/IONOTTAW14

North Dundas Township covers a lot of ground. My Town is Morewood. My Province is Ontario (ON).The way it prints under "North Dundas" makes it look like California. ---- "Morewood CA" ---- I know it means Canada--but-- you don't see Houston, US here:

https://www.wunderground.com/weather/us/tx/houston/29.76%2C-95.36

Mine should display at least Morewood ON below, but North Dundas should really be replaced with Morewood, ON

Not all work. I get just all blank tiles. Same new style, just no data.

It works

With the old UI you had to be patient and let the page load before scrolling down to the graphs.

[Gocher66]

Thx Cocute it works
 

[awsum140]

What's really amazing is that the old site still works and the information displayed is current and accurate while the new site is a total disaster.  I have to think that WU techs can see the problems without having to check this board or anywhere else.  Another "job well done by your Treasury men in action"...NOT!

Cool. That works. There was more to it than just changing the case in the address bar.

The old site seems to be working the way it used it, except I can't log in and have the annoying ads.  But I'll take 'em if it means I get rapidfire and accurate summary tables.

[davidmc36]

They should model the site off this App:

https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=36442.0

Compact, verbose, data friendly, all at the same time. Map is optional.

[Mike Fitz]

Not sure if its related, but anyone know why my map has no background, or actual map in Chrome on WU, just my station and radar.

I tried Edge and it was fine.

Check in your Chrome advanced settings and turn on "Use hardware acceleration when available" under the "System" header. Your map background should load after restarting your browser.

I used the link provided above but I am still stuck on the new style design. Maybe its a slow transition back to the classic?

[Gretnawx]

WU's transition to the new PWS interface is FUBAR!  It appears to not be ready for beta testing much less operational implementation.  Even the most basic content (the daily summary/extremes) is wrong.

Mine works fine with Firefox.

I Googled  my station and clicked on a few links and one of them brought me to the old interface...you can try that.

Use this URL but replace the xxxxxxx with your PWS ID:
