Steven,
Don't forget that most of us do place a link to our weather site in our posts, and that indicates the specific location the data came from.

Cheers.

Graeme - I understand that but the point I am making is that the Cumulus generated image itself, which has this information available, doesn't make use of it. And, as I pointed out, a number of posters in this thread have extremely vague locations - India, USA.

I wouldn't have thought it too hard to include the location in the image generation in the first place - this would then make the image more meaningful allowing for it to be posted/pasted anywhere and it is immediately apparent WHERE the figures are for.

I am sure some people want 'bragging rights' in places other than this forum

But people are posting screen shots of a dialog that is designed to be viewed on your own local macine, it was never designed to be posted anywhere else. It does provide the ability to copy the data to the clip board so you can post it in a text form and format/include whatever extra data you want. I don't think its realistic that Cumulus adds the station name and location information to every dialog that people may post.

Lets agree to disagree then and remember that Iceberg had a 2011 low of -17.7C and a 2011 high of 36.6C (now, where is Iceberg?); the USA had a 2011 low of -10.7F and a 2011 high of 98.4F; and one of the largest countries on the planet, India, had a 2011 low of 5.2C and a 2011 high of 36.3. (At least in this case you can actually see the name of the station in the wider then usual clip).

As I said before, I find it extremely wierd that users fight over perceived 1 or 2 degree temperature sensor 'inaccuracies', wind vanes that aren't appropriately located; humidity readings that are inaccurate indoors etc etc - but don't see an issue with not putting a location on a generated screen of annual extremes (whether it is for local or distributed use). And, if the former, why post them here in the first place?

I agree not providing a reasonable location either in your profile or the accompaning text is a little short sighted, but there again I thought posting the images a bit ott myself
