Pretty close!!Thats the fastest fix I've ever seen...Thanks Ian

 

But it isn't a fix - that was just as it is. Go figure. Tell me a bit more about your computer and browser configuration .... I'm in Tassie in a couple of weeks so could check out if the Net is a bit strange in some places :-)

Would it not be better to post all errors etc here so others are aware of them and what the solution is or when a fix is applied.

 

With something so important when it comes to flying as the weather if a pilot isn't aware of an issue with the app it could be detrimental - just a thought

Whatever. I don't mind.

 

It's a bit more of a mission for me to reply to stuff here rather than in my normal email what with login/navigate to forum etc. Hardly a deal breaker though.

 

For what it's worth, anyone notifying a bug (and I welcome such notifications) should paste in the original and the error as soon as it crops up so I can look at the problem before the forecast changes.

In looking at this last reported problem I discovered that the last area requested was being listed twice with the second time including some error messages. Fixed .....

 

My problem with finding bugs on this site is that the weather I look up for me is of course the Kiwi stuff - I just check this one occasionally, so I depend on people pointing out bugs to me.

Hi

 

This is the type of error I was referring to.

 

I have emailed Ian as well to help in his possible fault location - but then it is earlyish.

Hurricane .......

 

METAR TTF SPECI

 

Oops. I don't think I'd seen a METAR that was also a TTF and a SPECI before, so the program started decoding one group too early and figured that the UTC time was actually a wind :-( ..... note that it did correctly decode the wind group that followed.

 

Sorry about all that - will fix sometime soon.

Ugh

 

www.pemet.com.au/[/url] Can anyone help. Cheers Rick

No the address has not changed.

 

I´m in Cuzco (Peru) heading for Macchu Picchu and it´s Sunday in NZ so noone is in the office in NZ. It would appear that the server PC has fallen over.

 

I suppose I should host the thing with a real ISP that isn´t subject to these outages.

 

Sorry :-(
