new forecast page - sneak peak

Nice! Having the tides right there w/ report is a timesaving plus!

 

I think the forum needs to go

 

Dig it! Good work!

 

Nice. I dig it! Only suggestion/request..... get rid of the scroll bars on the left side where you click through the days. I hate those things and having to scroll up or down to read one sentence gets annoying.

 

Sexy sexy, I like. Although it's a minor problem, on the left panel where the weekdays are, sometimes the google ad blocks off the last sentence of the conditions summary, though clicking on another day and clicking back fixes it. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Again, I think it's amazing. Great job!

 

Yeah the static scroll bars have to stay based on users screen resolutions and OS's.

Looks good on my blackberry too. I use opera mobile because I have the lowest fidelity blackberry (curve) with no memory etc, and it looks good. No scrolls bars. Each day link opens up the next panel smoothly....

P.S. At work, on my network, I have old flash version installed and dont have root access, so typically the main forecast model on swellinfo never loads. The top bar with the weeks info always loads, but i usually have a "Must Upgrade Flash" message for the large cetner swell model...

So, my assumption is that you A) changed something or B) my network Admin finally upgraded my Flash.. Either way im stoked!

 

Having that wind table right there for each day is awesome. I'm digging it.

 

the dark blue background and dark letters needs to change, makes it hard to read. other than that, it is pretty sweet.

 

im going to miss the green men

 

Excellent... thank you.

 

just dont look at

 

Eh, I don't know Micah. I think your icons - the Green Man and the the little wave, were, pardon the pun, truly "iconic."

With a single glance I got the picture as to what was going on, or what the prediction was. Also with a single glance I could read the "Surf" and "Conditions." On the new page when I click on the day I now have THREE scroll bars, one of which I need to use to read Surf and Conditions. I appreciate that you're trying to give us more info with the tide and swell/wind direction, but sometimes less is more. It's a very busy little area you've created there.

And in my 30+ years of surfing in the mid-Atlantic, we've always referred to the surf as you've had it - ankle, knee, waist, chest, etc. The 1 ft, 2 ft, 3ft designations are meaningless to me. Is it "3-foot OCMD" or 3-foot OBX? Or 3-foot Hawaiian, which for us means DOH?

Again, all of your efforts are appreciated. Swell Info is an amazing site. Just be careful to not go "New Coke" in doing a hit job on the Green Man.

 

i like the forum alot. i dont agree with alot that gets said and im positive that alot of what i spew is mush to most folks cuz i can be a **** but thats the beauty. keep it. retlaff44 is right on with his comment about ankkle,knee, waist,etc.
