    Hi all,

    Just a quick line to anyone with online live feeds for their weather stations.

    I would greatly appreciate it if you would be in a position for me to link and/share your online date on the 'live weather' section of www.irishweatheronline.com.

    The reason for my request is pretty straight forward.

    I received written approval last week from an online provider of data for numerous independently operated stations throughout Ireland. This evening, however, I was asked by the said provider to remove the data which, although very disappointing and regrettable, is a decision that they are entitled to make and I am obliged to abide by.

    Anyone who might be able to help me out can pm me. Please note that the site is a non commercial entity and does NOT seek to profit from any information you may be able to provide in terms of online weather station data.

    Thanks in advance and apologies to trogdor and weathercheck for using the forum for such a request.

    Regards,

    Wolfe

    Another mention for the website in the Sunday Times weather section. Basically the theme of the piece is that last years cold winter is set for a sequel, with the website being mentioned and also M.T gets a mention too. Well done Wolfe.

    Hi all,

    I have set up a weather website called Irish Weather Online - www.irishweatheronline.com

    I got bored so decided to do a 3-hr crash course on html and css coding. :o

    Wolfe

    You built a website that good-looking with only 3 hours study?! :eek:

    I am impressed. Well done!

    Great site, well done.

    Anyone know why I can't access it on my mobile -am using Vodafone Live APN, and they seem to be blocking it :mad:. Not a huge problem for me as, I can access it using the isp.vodafone.ie APN, but sent the link to my Dad who can't access it on his Samsung Galaxy S, and I really don't want to have to go through editing APNs on his phone with him :rolleyes:

    I'll ask the vodafone reps on the Talk to forum

    That thread in the link is closed.

    Is there a time frame where we can expect to be told if IWO is coming back online or..?

    Apart from the active boards members that were directly involved in IWO, there were also a lot of people who gave their time to the website in the guise of photographs and videos and input into the forums which helped promote the website and which people gave permission to IWO to use, without that input from others other than active boards members the site might not have flourished as it did. So there were many more involved in the sight other than via a financial input.

    I think it only fair game for Mark from IWO to issue those contributors with an e-mail to explain the situtation. I know he has a PR company so that shouldn't be too difficult. Fair balls to him if he has sold it on and made money, thumbs up and best of luck to him, but it be good to let those fringe contributors know the scenario.

    That's all folks.:)

    I totally agree. I emailed photos on a regular basis and I thought Mark had just gone away. I'm a bit miffed to read that thread now. An email to contributors would have been nice. It has put me off emailing in any more photos.

    Perhaps the owner of the website can advise what happens to all the pictures and videos that were sent in to the site for the specific use of IWO? If the site is sold I assume that those pictures remain the copyright of the original owner?

    The site was successful, in large part, to the loyal following of visitors and contributors to the site.

    I think they at least deserve an explanation WolfeIRE, you ?? At the least you should e-mail those registered and advise them put the matter to rest here on boards.ie

    Email or PM Mark directly , there is nothing to be gained constantly posting in here.

    Im sure there are reasons for whats happened, I always thought it must of been a massive strain on the owner as it wasnt a profit organization and he basically was on it 24/7 , does not leave to much time to lead your life/work/family

    Not asking the question again as I really dont care at this stage but if it was a massive strain (which would be totally understandable with the volume of work)wouldn't it be a simple thing to just post a quick note here or somewhere saying , sorry guys personal issues but cant continue , people would understand or else just says it is / isnt coming back details later... but this complete blanking of all posts is ridiculous and only adding to peoples curiosity.

    I sort of think that this discussion here should be dropped. The guys involved have said what they have said. Given how good they have been (with time, knowledge etc.) both there and here, I'm sure they're not refraining from issuing some sort of statement just to annoy their user base. If they can and want to, they will, otherwise they won't. Trying to pull some sort of public statement out of them when it's clear that they're not happy talking about it isn't fair. It's not like we're shareholders and have a 'right' to know.

    "I wish there was a quality Italian restaurant in this part of town." ... example of an economic opportunity.

    "If they open one, I hope the meals are free." ... end of said economic opportunity.

    Really ? tell us more.

    I don't wish to dwell on it, as it's none of my business (apart from being interested in the site and having my weather station listed on it). But, from another thread on this very topic:
    The people who have put time and effort into the site have been let know what is happening. For everyone else, there are reasons why these details must remain confidential.
    That, for me, tells me that it's none of my business.

    Since one user has kindly followed a request remove his offensive post, I have removed the other posts quoting this post too.

    I am closing this thread as the subject has been done to death. Another moderator (so not I) recently closed the other thread on the same subject, requesting that people not bring it up again. If you have queries regarding IWO, please contact them directly. Any more threads opened on this subject will be deleted. This goes for any duplicate thread on any subject, as you will see by my constant deletion of duplicate winter/snow threads that pop up on an almost daily basis.


This discussion has been closed.
