Ok, gotta ask… “This one can also be passed a date to give you dates in the past or in the future, and a station name to give you only data for a specific station”.  So it ties into some predictive algorithm for the future dates or ??

:-)

Do we really want the figure 8’s as depicted?  Shouldn’t the PG’s be doing a nice smooth DBF as well?  I have seen a dusty take out a PG low in the area described in the diagram (broken bones).

Not a PG instructor so others may have better knowledge, but more time at low speed, close to the ground… seems like a not so good idea?

Thoughts?

David:

Perhaps a poll?  You have had feedback from various sources that individual posters will not have heard.  A couple of thoughts:

a) some forums restricted to only forum members (current proposal);

b) most (except member discussions) forums open, but names suppressed unless you are a forum member;

c) use of pseudonyms for posts, but forum members can see ‘real’ names;

d) ?

I’m sure there are more options that folks have mentioned to you.

Thank you,

Alan

Here are some concrete suggestions:

– Turn off the ability to reply to a specific post.  This seems kind of cool, but for the occasional reader it makes finding new posts almost impossible as they can occur anywhere in the string of posts.  Indeed, it is easy to miss new posts if there are some in the middle of the list (indented) and other new posts at the bottom of the list.

– Have the “latest update” reflect the most recent post, not the newest topic.  Right now the forum shows the blue bar to indicate that there is unread content, but the referenced poster name and time is that of the newest topic, not the newest post.

I’ll admit up front I have no idea of whether this new website software would allow these changes, or how difficult and time consuming they might be.  But as a regular reader of multiple, similar forums, these would seem to address much of the difficulty in keeping up with forum content.

Thank you for tackling a generally thankless task. The Crestline forum has always been an important part of our community and is probably even more so in the current situation.

I did some poking around and Gavin did the RASP as well.  It is located at: http://flymarshall.com/socal-4k/

So the names are a bit off, the current resource is actually SoCal Windgrams  and the link above id SoCal RASP.

I don’t have Gavin’s contact.
