We are currently in the process of updating our website, and as such it could be that your PC is attempting to access a cached version of the page. Please can I ask you to clear the cache, and advise whether this resolves the issue. For Chrome Version 1-9 Once your browser is open, select the Tools menu (the wrench in the upper-right corner) and select Options (Preferences on Mac). On the Under the Hood tab, click the Clear Browsing data... button. Select the Empty the cache check-box. You can also choose the period of time you wish to delete cached information using the Clear data from this period dropdown menu. Click the Clear Browsing Data button. For Chrome Version 10+ Once your browser is open, select the Wrench icon (the settings menu, located in the upper-right corner) then, Tools, and Clear Browsing Data.... You can also access the Delete Browsing History window by pressing Ctrl-Shift-Delete Select the Empty the cache check-box. Uncheck everything else to avoid deleting data unintentionally. In the dropdown menu, select the beginning of time. Click the Clear Browsing Data button. |

Removing all temporary internet files seemed to clear it, but it might have been coincidence. Everything fine now, even the weather's quite nice, bright & benign. Graham Penzance. |

I suspect that they're working on these things: it must be a nightmare given the wide variety of platforms people use nowadays! Shouldn't be provided the web "designers" stick to standards and don't try to be "clever". It's the lower half of the new header section that doesn't render properly in my browser. They are being "clever" with javascript to do the mouse over drop down menu thingy. -- Cheers Dave. Nr Garrigill, Cumbria. 421m ASL. |

Have you cleared your browser cache? It is possible that you are using a cached style sheet, and style sheets are one of the things that changed... -- Freddie Bayston Hill Shropshire 102m AMSL http://www.hosiene.co.uk/weather/cumulus/ https://twitter.com/#!/BaystonHillWx for hourly reports |

Why do they need javascript to do the mouseover drop down menu? They can be implemented in standards complient HTML without javascript. Indeed the mouse over drop down menus still work if you turn off javascript so the javascript really isn't required at all. Seems that it is only there to inflate the egos of the web "designers" and to give them more work so they appear "busy" thus justifying their jobs. Or to give the users a "deep web experience" I don't want a fing "experience" when I visit the meto website, I want *information* presented without tons of bells and whistles that just slow down access to the wanted information. If I want an "experience" I'll jump off a bridge with a large rubber band attached to my ankles. -- Cheers Dave. Nr Garrigill, Cumbria. 421m ASL. |

Give us the info without the piffle. And one of the Golden Rules applies - the more fancy stuff you have, the more there is to go wrong. And I would rather my taxes went to provide a public information site rather than to fill the coffers of a web design agency. Look across the pond for how it should be done - the various NOAA sites amngst others. Over there, people's lives depend on weather information being delivered promptly and simply so there is maximum access to it. -- - Yokel - Yokel posts via a spam-trap account which is not read. |
