WundergroundDevs- Looks great. Wunderground continues to get better and better! Thanks for all of your work. Also glad the blogs got fixed and are now running on a timely matter.

I am a HUGE fan of this. I lost my internet today for hours and my cell kept me from losing my mind. Thanks Wunderground for this INVALUABLE service.

Thanks a lot Guys (and Gals?)

I have been using the iPhone/Pod Touch links the last few weeks on my iPod Touch and it is a lot faster than surfing the full web site.

A couple of things. When I click on the text links such as the Public Advisory or Discussion for the tropical pages the text is fixed and too wide for my pod even when I turn it sideways. I have to scroll left and right to read it. Dr. Jeff's blog is fine just the text links.

Also it would be nice if I could zoom to the graphics some like on a regular page. Just a minor point. I know they are fixed to make the download faster and turning them sideways make them bigger but my eyes aren't what they use be;-)

Anyway thank for all your hard work!

I did miss the press announcements. Thanks for adding it here. I had been going through Safari. I have i.wund bookmarked now. I LOVE my iPhone!

That is great news for those who need to access updates on the weather.

Now for my problem....I have been trying to post on my blog as well as a couple of others and my posts continue to get lost. Can you please check into why this is happening. A couple of posts from an hour ago never uploaded and so far the ones I just posted are not uploading as well.

Thank You!!

WundergroundDevs- My posts have been getting eaten all afternoon or have been slow to post. Is there a chance this ongoing error can finally be fixed? Thanks for your hard work.

Thank goodness for the new stuff for the iphone and it works well on the itouch too.
I have emailed links to my family. I know the one in TX will love this faster connnection.
THANKS AGAIN for doing all you guys do. Wish I could bring cookies to each of you guys' desks.

Personally, the inability to zoom graphics keeps me on m.wund.com on my iPhone.

I was looking at the forecast maps for Gustav, and noticed that something needs to be changed about the color coding of the 'tropical storm: storm surge forecast'. The surge for Hurricane Gustav starts with 'dark blue', then lightens, and goes onwards towards green, then orange, red and purple. To me, it seems as if there is not enough contrast between the lighter shades of blue and the 'default' ocean color. The same holds true for just about all of the shades of 'green' and the 'default' color for land. To me, it seems counterintuitive that a 'light green' storm surge would be stronger than a 'dark blue' storm surge, yet that is how the graphic displays are color-coded.

For example, the Storm Surge display for 2 AM on 8/31/08 has 'green' for the New Orleans region. To a novice, 'green' would be seen as 'good' or 'safe', when in actuality, 'green' means between 12 and 21 feet of storm surge, the highest and most dangerous on this map at this point in time.

The 'deeper' colors tend to stand out on the graphic displays, yet one of the 'deepest' colors available (dark blue) is for the lightest of storm surge possible...

Thanks for the reminder!

Please submit this to support. Thanks.

I noticed the Alerts for Hanna seem to be the same as for Gustav. There are no Alerts shown for the east coast of FL. 0725 EST, 9/1/08

How about a version for BlackBerry?

I like the new GFDL model simulation option for the tropics on Wunderground!

I accidentally posted this in an old post. Reposting here so it has better chance of being read.

A humble suggestion...

I think Dr Masters blog needs to be turned into a proper forum or perhaps a reddit/digg type interface. Ars Technica has a nice blog/forum/news hybrid approach going that might work for WU as well. That way jokes, serious discussions, and flames can be segregated and appreciated in their proper context. I think the community is being limited by the software at this point.

Also this morning a member whose blog I enjoy reading lost a 2 hour blog to the nether regions of WU when trying to post. Good original content like that shouldn't be getting thrown away. It shouldn't be buried in some unsearchable blog interface either when I want to look for it next year.

You guys have been doing a great job with this site over the years, I'm sure you can come up with a good solution.

if .... IF it is the number of post in Dr. Master's blog that is slowing us down... limit the folks making comments to those that pay the yearly small fee. (Not my idea but that of another member in here)However... I was thinking it might be more the number of folks reading this site and logging in to check the maps and such???

See how much we love you guys.. we want to help and can not do much without the know how ONLY you guys have.. Thanks so much for all the hard work you do in keeping the lights on and the welcome door open.

man what is going on with the blogs is this some kind of a new from mat look for the blogs?? if it is then it needs a lot of work

any one going too come out and say some in???

any one going to say any thing on why the blogs went down ????

Quoting Tazmanian:

The site experienced a short outage due to an ISP's DNS server going down. Once they brought it back online, service was restored.

Jeez people, get a grip! We survived canes and other weather prior to WU, believe it or not, and will again. While the blog burps, blackouts, etc, are troublesome, at least they come back and SOON! Trust me, I was not able to talk to those here other than IM, phone, and omails for a long time. It ain't fun! Take what they give, support them as they grow, and don't sweat the small stuff!
