Its probably just a case of your browser cache storing the old avatar - just press f5 once you have uploaded the new one and it should change to it

Not sure if anyone is aware of this, but the Lightning Detector Explained link doesn't work for me on the bottom of the UK Live Lightning page.

Thanks for pointing that out - will get it fixed

[kar999]

No prob Paul.

Whilst you're in that neck of the woods you might want to check out the Euro Lightning, EUCLID, Latest Strikes link.

I get a dead link there as well. This works though.

I'm having trouble updating my avatar...I can dispose of the old one OK...But, when I try to upload a new one, the old one reappears??

[Paul]

You just need to press f5 pete, it's just your browser storing the old picture

Always the last to know eh??

Make sure you press Control + F5 rather than just F5, that way it refreshes the transparent server too rather than just your local cache.

Try again Pete, we know these things are difficult for the elderly, but you do well considering.

Thanks ADoh a dumb swear filter got the better of me!

Please can someone explain about Current Conditions and Reports: Weather Reports.

The first post at about midnight usually says “Please post your weather reports here.”

Does that mean reports of weather conditions

– at the time of the report?

- or for the day before up to midnight?

[Paul]

Hi Sribbler, the weather reports area is for reports of current weather, at or near the time of the report

[Scribbler]

Ta Paul

Gotcha!

I asked because I thought that the timing of the posting (i.e. Midnight) indicates that you should post info either for the day before (or should that have been posted ON the day before) or info at the time of the entry.

It's obviously for AT THE TIME info. Thanks.

So when should you post records for the whole day, i.e. a summary? Any time, I guess?

[Paul]

Yep, anytime - a lot of people post up just before midnight with their daily stats

Hi Scribbler

I would say that yes, try and put the summary in for the day (i.e. Thurs) into the Thursday thread.

Try and not leave it too late though, as each days thread will close at around midnight

[Scribbler]

Makes sense, Snowman and Paul. Ta.

Just wanted to make sure that I don't get moaned at!!

[Shiny_Bottom_1]

No problem Scribbler.

We are here to help

[Matt B]

I cant get the UK lightning detector to work. Just shows as red x.

[Paul]

It's not on our server so can't help you on it I'm afraid

We are getting our own lightning detection system soon though http://nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons//ohmy.gif

[Matt B]

Superb. Will that be an extra feature ??

[Paul]

May do a combination of extra and free, not sure yet though http://nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons//ohmy.gif
