Sorry if this question has been asked before already but I've noticed that SPC is no longer putting categorical maps up. Anyone know why?

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.

Are you talking about the convective outlook maps? The categories are links now at the top of the map. Click on tornado, hail, or wind to see stats.

The SPC has had that change for a while now, sorry. I kind of like that feature now, actually faster loading. Another site that is taking up some change is the NWS pages. They have new forecast pages that show the area on a topographic map and then also have the local hourly forecast of temps/precip on the bottom. They have also have some other new features that it looks like sites are checking out.

I'll admit Will, I had the same thoughts when I first saw the changes, it took me a few minutes to figure it out. I'd say the changes have been in place for maybe a month or so (rough guess).
