Re: Cumulus PHP-GD Banner

@Mapantz kindly provided the code to add to my .htaccess file to ensure the info in my banner was always current. I plucked up the courage to add it yesterday and it seems to be working fine with one exception. Cunulussites run by @JennyLeez is still showing yesterday’s data and despite refreshing t...

@mapantz, <<I'm not getting angry, I'm trying to make you understand that Hostpresto is not playing by the rule book and you're getting your wires crossed..>> I've never seen anything from HP saying users will receive an email when downtime is required. It's very infrequent as far as I'm concerned. ...

Re: Hostpresto server migration

@Mapantz, you’re coming across as a very angry man. Why don’t you ring HostPresto and speak to them rather than vent your spleen here which achieves nothing other than raising your blood pressure. They don’t send emails for down time. Now I know they use Announcements I check there as I did earlier ...

Re: Hostpresto server migration

My site was down for around an hour or two but I just waited. When access resumed no data had been lost and that’s using FTP uploads.

The hosting company that never takes their servers down for maintenance doesn’t exist.

Re: Sat24 have changed their widgets - help required please.

With the help of the staff at MeteoBlue I’ve finally got the weather widget working across all platforms including iOS. There was a <a command messing things up. Hard to spot unless you’re an expert which I’m definitely not. If anyone wants to add a widget to their website I can highly recommend Met...

Re: CMX unresponsive

My website went down at 18:17GMT yesterday and I spotted it around 21:00. I raised a ticket with HostPresto which was answered inside 15 mins. They said the servers were down for upgrading and would be back online once completed. Service resumed around 22:15. They did say there was a notice in the C...

Re: Storm Henk

Storms around this time are common. None more so than that of 2 January 1976. Why would I remember that? Because we went to see the premier of Jaws in Manchester and there was a really violent storm that day. The film and the weather left a lasting impression. :D

Re: Vantage Vue Console Wouldn't Connect with Cumulus 1

I had a similar scare when the datalogger came out. Even pushing it back in didn't help connect to Cumulus. It required a reboot of the computer after which all was well again.

I try not to move either console or computer to keep my stress levels reasonable! :lol:

Re: New Record? Post here.

48.29” (1227mm) here in Cheshire making it the wettest year by far since I started in 2009. Around 150% of that expected. Previous wettest was 40.1” back in 2012. But only two days when >1” was recorded.

Re: Rainfall too low

Hi Mark,

Happy New Year to you. :D Here's my rainfall data as requested. I added an extra column for rainfall in mm as I store it in inches.

Let me know if there's anything else you need. I hope it helps and is in the required format.

Re: Rainfall too low

I've compared my December rainfall (149mm) to a station in Handforth (IWILMS14) which has a Davis VP2 and his is 145.8mm.

He bought his VP2 in early March 2022 ans his rainfall totals with a spoon mechanism is very close to mine.
