Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Where is short range and 5 day forecast maps? can't find them.
On the home page. They don't have wave heights.
I am disappointed now with no feedback taken into consideration here on the new site.Photography site - https://www.sryanbruenphoto.com/

This 5 day is a big step backward. Found the old one fantastic to use, this one, practically unusable
Used to be able to scroll across with mouse with old one. That doesn't work.0 -

Yes it is a step backward. The short range is part of that on the home page if you notice the hourly intervals for the first few days.Photography site - https://www.sryanbruenphoto.com/

Finally found isobaric forecast charts but very hard to see, particularly over land. Too much clutter, especially road network in Eng and Wales. Isobars need much greater definition.
Missing Atlantic charts, synoptic analysis and failure to have wind speeds in km/h a disappointment also.
Poor effort right enough.

A beta is there for feedback to be taken into consideration which they have not done with the release as far as we can see, zero changes from what the beta version showed. You say we won't be the only feedback source they would have sought well tell me any changes from the beta version you can see.
No man, I work in software - in reality a beta is where you polish and fix something to the point where you're hopefully (but not always) comfortable with its release.
The origin of the word (Greek aside ), is from the old days where products were physical and iteration was impossible.
It's totally different with websites.
Unless of course I'm wrong and they plan to not do anything to it until the next revamp in 15 years.0 -

A beta is an unfinished version of the product which you give out to the public or a select group of people. A beta is done as you say to polish and fix the product (in this case, a website) so it can be good for release. However, this website was IN beta according to this thread - see the title - and the site's previous domain beta.met.ie, but when you look at the released version, there are no changes at all given the feedback I've seen on here, their Facebook, listening to certain suggestions they called out when I contacted them etc. None of them were taken into consideration on this public release from the beta version they released.
Some of the problems I have named like the Claremorris wind gust and degree days under 15.5 table being messed up in monthly data etc are so small of errors that they should have been fixed so easily. Something like the radar can take time to do but these small errors making the site look a bit unprofessional especially as it's the release and not the beta.
I have done beta tests for people before whether be it software, video games etc. I can tell you, I do these to help them fulfill their product and get good reception.
To remind here, this is coming from a guy who stood up for Met Éireann in the darkest of times all Winter.
I am just a bit concerned is all as this is the released version now with no feedback taken into consideration. Nothing more than that. As I said previously, I like the new look of the site overall. I like the dark navy colour look personally.Photography site - https://www.sryanbruenphoto.com/

Is the 3hr forecast and Short Range gone? I preferred the Old version
I downloaded the app and it's frozen, had to allow access to location but without GPS on it still thinks I am in Leinster with no option to select a location.
Rainfall forecast map is very jumpy with one image appearing and the next not when playing the loop.
Recent rainfall radar loop is poor, more work needed I am afraid.0 -

Not good on the mobile app this morning, will only show me the regional forecast weather for Leinster/Dublin when the app shows my location as West Clare in the radar. Very slow too. Most of the maps not working and when they do they don't load completely. Here's some screenshots:
Map not loading fully, most other maps won't load at all.
Weather icons not loading, if they did it's for the wrong location anyway.
Again, regional forecast for Leinster, cannot change it to relevant provience.
