• 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.

Had a chance to get out and field test the latest features in v2.6, which is just about to be released (within a day or 2).

The setup yesterday 062406 wasn't spectacular, but after this season i'll take what i can get! Plus there were several svr-warned storms passing within 30 minutes of where I lived, so i couldn't ignore that:

I intercepted the storms near Lakeville, then followed them east towards Cannon Falls. The StormPath feature (brought back to life from v1.5) worked exceptionally well:

If you haven't seen already, the Position Tracking features in 2.6 have been significantly enhanced, and now support real-time chat, email and website linking, range indicators, and you can even hook up a webcam if you have one. These screenshots are from June 4-5:

I think we set a new record yesterday as over 60 positions were active at the same time, 8 of which were mobile.

The update is of course free to all v2.x owners and will be posted here when ready:

Maybe I'm overlooking it, but where is the 2.6 download? I see the "Version 2.6 Sneak Peak" thread but there's no provided links. I also see the "Latest Build -- 2.5.16" thread but that's 2.5.
