Topic: Multiple wind flags: new feature or new bug?

[galfert]

There's been a small change recently in the behaviour of this (bug?).  If you click the - (zoom out) button on the map, you get only one flag on the resulting display.  Before, it stayed a tarantula.

huh! Interesting. Yep you are right.

This is what WU developers look like:

LOL...probably the only book they’ve read.    But my tests show that, while I can’t confirm the directional pointers, my temp is still an overlay of multiple data points. Clearly, the WUFixers have Left The Building.

Mine is still buggy (heh) when zoomed in.  It is also overwriting the temp instead of clearing it beforehand.

I think WU is getting their programmers/coders from the Fiverr website. You get what you pay for!

More likely from under an underpass along the freeway.

Over a month now and this problem still hasn't been fixed 

It seems that at the moment every station I select to view comes up with multiple wind flags on the map display (excepts some stations that report at long intervals, it seems)

I don't know whether its' a feature (showing recent winds so you can see the range of readings) or a bug!

update: I see this is not just me (reported on another thread).

Fixing decimals took over 3 months.

I suspect, based on the lack of activity, that the college kid they have working on it has gone back to school for Fall quarter.

You know what's really strange about this problem, at least to me?  It seems to cleanly overwrite the readings from all the stations around me.  Mine, on the other hand, seems to have data overlaid for five or six updates and the wind direction is always indicating something other than what shows everywhere else on the dashboard.

Click on one of those nearby stations.  It will now show multiple flags and temperatures, and your station will now be cleanly overwritten.

Yeah, it appears that the multiple page loads required to display this hot mess also loads the selected PWS data several times and not from the same data set.  I have also noticed what (finally) is displayed in the dashboard as temp and wind direction doesn't match what is shown on the map.

I've pretty much given up.

This issue of multiple wind vanes on the map appears to finally be fixed with today's WU website changes.

I wonder what worse bug will replace it...

May not be worse, but definitely different.... When my dashboard comes up, my station detail is missing from the bulls-eye. Close but no cigar.

I have had this occasionally in the past. Usually a reboot of your station and it returns usually in about an hour.

The bug appears to have resurfaced....

I just wish they would scrap this new design and get back to the old google map.

Just sayin’, but having over 40 years in IT, I have never in my life seen anything as pathetic as the “new improved” WonderGround process. I can only guess that someone pushed a ‘new’ update and pulled up a version that was 6 months old. I feel so bad for all the folks who made Wunderground what is ‘was’.
