How long does it take to get the e-mail? I got a message it had been sent but it is not in my inbox yet. This is a very good idea btw

A student is looking for help on tropical cyclone prediction. Please fill out the survey linked to this thread: https://stormtrack.org/threads/storm-and-hurricane-intensity-prediction-survey.32957

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.

It took me three times to pass it, the questions werent even all that hard. I was worried that they would be. Im glad i took it. Funny though, it also took me three times to get my drivers license...lol

The training was pretty good. It was helpful for this newbie. I missed one the first time I took the test. Have to look very close at some of the videos...

Got it done! The wind question got me though 
Just wasn't paying enough attention. Great job guys for putting this together! Hope this helps with the reports.

I did pretty good on my first attempt. I only had 3 wrong. The first video I did not notice the condensation funnel on the ground but I did the second time I took the test. I recieved 100% correct on my second try. Nice spotter training program

I thought the material was a bit long for the purpose of becoming an authorized spotter, but it was an excellent collection of material. All people should check this out regardless. The graphs and animations are excellent!

Very well put together.
The only confusing part during the test was the buttons to save or save all annd submit. I think it should automatically save when you go to the next page. (Maybe it does).
Anyway. I passed 100% !!!!!

I have to admit, I was a bit confused if I was supposed to save before going on to the next page as well.

Thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to learn some more weather information. This course was presented in a logical manner and the visuals were very good. These folks put a lot of work into the product. I was a little more concerned about passing than what I should have been but that helped keep the study focused.
I thought by keeping this thread active and 'bumping' it up every so often, a few more folks might spot it and give the training a try.

I really liked it. I thought the information was presented really well. I think the best part is the exam. Forced me to focus on all the info, not knowing what as on the exam.

I guess one wrong passes . I also think the test was very good and not a wrote derivation from the material. The video id's were pretty subtle on the small laptop monitor I was using. It's a good idea that SN is doing this to keep the report quality high. Good work, Tyler et al!

I did this test myself for the first time and i must say it is very well done. The Spotter Network along with espotter are the 2 good services to use. I believe this is a good thing to do to prevent un needed storm reports.

Tyler, thanks for tossing one of my videos into the test. It was a pleasant surprise to stumble upon while filling it out.
