• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

(kind of) Just in Time for the Season

I've taken some time the past couple weekends to get my storm report site back up and working. I haven't changed much in the way of design and function, but I wanted to get something up and working so it's usable while I'm working on new features... :)

New features should include a complete redesign, live radar layer, cloud cover layer, ir layer, convective outlooks layers all plotted against the map. I would love to work on it full time, but the site doesn't pay the bills just yet :)

In any case, here's the site: http://www.stormreportmap.com

*Shameless self promotion, I know... but the site has been offline for a while now...
 
Not sure if this is the right forum for this or not, but I figured there might be people that are interested.

With the recent HIGH outlook being released, I thought there might be some interest to see what I've been working on... so I've attached a quick screenshot.

You'll notice that I've been able to extract the convective outlooks from the SPC as well as a adding a live radar layer. I would post the URL to the site, but it's not quite "live" yet -- even in a Beta mode.

In any case, my apologies if this isn't the right place for this type of post. Let me know.

Also... If there is anyone interested in beta testing the new site, reply here or just send me a PM. Thanks.

Thanks Kelly!

Just an update for all (no need to create a new thread)

I've updated the entire site with what I had been working on. All new design, severe warning and convective outlooks and storm reports all plotted against the Google map.

Anyway.. enjoy!

Wow. Nicely redone. The layers work like a charm and it's very easy to glance at and see the overall picture.
 
Thanks guys... Glad you like it. I want to add the Google Earth maptype, but it requires a download and is still having some issues working properly in IE. Once Google can work those issues, I'll add that map type and people can have a 3D view of everything (except radar and warnings, of course)
