The station is at https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/ITAUNTON3
Somerset UK - perhaps the display hasn't been backdated over here yet!

Sorry, no luck. Not sure what's happening. I was able to get a nearby station to show up but not yours.

We're trying to get to the "old" view not the new one.

Sadly however I still get the disgusting 'new' display
Old: https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?id=ITAUNTON3
New: https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/ITAUNTON3

Enjoy,Paul


When I click on your "old" link this is what I see. What are you seeing maybe it's just me...? [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Using your station as an example this is what we're hoping to see:

Old view https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?id=KKSSHAWN122#history

vs.

New view https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KKSSHAWN122

Most folks are preferring the old view. YMMV

Sorry fellas,
I've turned my PC off for the night - no more online data until tomorrow morning at about 6 am our time (British Summer Time)
Sadly my rather basic weather station only has a data logger so that I can see what happened overnight the following morning - I really should invest in something a little more sophisticated, I guess.
Apologies - I'll check the links in the morning and come back with my own viewings.
Sleep well.

Old view https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?id=KKSSHAWN122#history

I'll be darn!  I didn't realize we still had access to the original version.  It is kind of nice having all the information on one screen without scrolling.  And the map feels more comfortable than the wider & shorter one.  Or maybe I'm just used to the original.  But all that said, either version works for me.

Sorry - been busy up until now, so I've tried to see if I can reanimate the old view just a few minutes ago.
Sadly for me however, while I can somehow generate the old style version as an overview, as soon as I sign in and click on my own station it turns back into the new view.
I'm not expecting any miracles, to be honest - most 'new' designs and layouts tend to take control eventually...

To be clear...  I can access and see my old site.  But as soon as I sign in, I am immediately taken away from the site and redirected to https://www.wunderground.com/

Yes it is the same for everyone else. You can view the old site but only while logged off. The minute you log in it redirects you to the new site. Once the new site is fixed they have said that this back door to the old site will go away.

Not everyone else. This appears to be browser dependent. I can stay logged in on Firefox(PC) and Safari (iPad), but not with Chrome (iPad or PC).

Oh okay thanks. I suppose staying logged in then gets rid of the ads? Although you could use an ad blocker if you are signed out....but then the map and graphs are a bit smaller.

Hmmmm - not so over in UK.  Using either Firefox or Chrome I can't stay logged in and still see the old style whereas on Safari and Edge I can.  I use an adblocker on all of them too.
On the other hand, using Waterfox I still get the old style even when logged in! :grin:

Very disappointed in the "New Look" Lost the rapid fire update and the large screen feel is terrible to maneuver around with.. And the Camera feed is still down after waiting quite some time for it to never return. Sent email for support no response.. It's a shame because at one time they had all the information including the web cam on the same page.. Guess there trying to keep up with the windows 10 format.. yuck.... I'm done, moving on.. Working on building my own system..RP-3 Linux..

Just copy and paste this link adding your station ID in place of the x's and you can have your old page back

https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?id=XXXXXXXXX#history

Some people have complained about not being able to be logged in But I have the Wunderground national map up and I am logged in there and that keeps me logged in for the old interface with no Ads The way WU works it will proabably be a month or more before the new interface is working halfway right

Awesome! Thanks for the info! I pulled the plug over the weekend due to frustration. If they had said that the upgrade would take x amount of time I would understand but there really hasn’t been any formal notifications. Other that the week of the 18th of March. I’ll give it a try! Thanks for the heads up!

While it is possible to see your old site, the accuracy of the data is suspect. The wind speed and direction on my site is hours old and while I've recorded rain today, the old site does not show it. The temperature shown on the map does not match the temperature field of the display. In my case there is a two degree difference.

I just compared the readings in "my" two sites linked above, and they were the same.  Perhaps you didn't refresh one of the sites you looked at?  I compared perhaps 6 different things.  There hasn't been any rain so I couldn't compare those readings.

One feature I do kind of miss with the new format is the "Station reported 3 minutes ago" that would show in the old site.

I've learned not to generalize too much. What works for me may not work for you.

For me, using the old site, the current conditions aren't accurate (not sure where they're getting these values) but the map, summary and graphs are fine.

Using the new site the current condition (once you get past the pre-school looking graphics) are accurate, the summary is, at best, way behind and useless, and the graphs are okay but not really useful since they only display whole degrees and don't update as often as the old graphs.

But again, YMMV

Today's update made it a lot better with the reintroduction of Rapid Fire, it still needs some tweaking but it's better than it was. Hopefully decimals for temperature come back soon.

I have been sending my Bloomsky camera to WU, but since they introduced their new format the camera no longer shows.   It seems things are not working for all items.  Here are the WU screens for my site.  I do have weather data through Weatherlink 2.0.
One shot shows  that data is being received.   I prefer this method then I don't have to have my computer running 24/7
