new forecast page is up

First off, the site rocks and is the best free forecasting site by far.

Using Chrome web browser I am experiencing miscellaneous text all over the bottom of the page, like in the forums preview and the reports preview. Its like text got too big for the allotted space.

Using the app on my android- its awful. Im not being critical, but its just plain wrong. Pull up the forecast for a spot and it says tomorrow will be 2-3 foot and red. I click on tomorrow for details and its light sw winds and 1 ft of swell (which should show up as 0-1 and green). Either way, im not crying about the $3 bucks or whatever it was, but it would be cool if the thing worked. There is some sort of disconnect between the hourly details and the daily summary report.

 

Workin' great for me... AWESOME!

 

\r\n \r\nThe info presented now, is already there when in hover mode over the graphic display. This mode is nice, always has been and actually shows more info than what\'s being shown now, as it\'s shows primary and secondary swell there.\r\n\r\nAt a \"glance\" as you say, it\'s Less info. The info is hidden and I have to click to expand and see it one day at at time. \r\n\r\nSo again, nothing new, just adding mouse clicks to walk through the text for each day. I\'m not a fan, but that\'s just me. Other folks seem to like the expand colapsing, gadgetry of it. I just prefer to see the data quickly without having to click around for it. \r\n\r\nBTW, I\'ve noticed that the new text at least for wind doesn\'t always match the wind prediction when you hover. So there some issues there. Not sure which one is the real value, as they should both be pulled data from the same location.\r\n\r\nObviously this is free, so I can go elsewhere, no hate, just my opinion.

 

I think the new site is great. Really appreciate your hard work on this. No issues at all - running Chrome 12.0.742.100

 

Please stick with kts.

 

I don't like having to click on each daily tab for the info. Liked it better with all the info for 5 days presented all @ once for morning & afternoon. I also think the icon's are more useful for us on the east coast. I don't know very many people that say the waves are 3'-4' high. Most everyone would say it was waist to chest.

Take a look @ tomorrow's (Thurs) forecast for instance. Why list it in the morning as 1'-2' at quick glance & then click the tab that say's knee high. I know what 1'-2' means, but having a one bar red Icon like before would seem like a more logical choice instead of wave heights described AND body heights listed.

 

Initial reaction was, "WTF?" After closer examination, I like it!

 

text is all jumbled on firefox. and where is the tide table? that was essential on the old page!

 

One suggestion for the forum links on the pages would be a link to get to the last post in a forum thread from the forecast page. That would be great versus having to go to the forum and then clicking the last link within the thread.

Thanks.

Don't under estimate the sentimental value of the Green man ... Companies spend many years/dollars to develop symbols like that to help build brand awareness (think Nike and the swoosh)

I think the green man is genious and definately one of the reasons this site stood out from the competition. I think you'd be crazy not to bring back in some form.

Sorry for the nerdy business talk, but thought it was a good point ...

 

I agree.......also the colors don't really match.

 

Nice, I love it, so much better!

You rock!

 

On today's page on the left for the new interface, arguably the most relevant info for tides, I just noticed the tide table was replaced by an ad. What happened to the tide info for today?
