Well I can't get past the weather map- links to 12 day and 2 day forcasts get the "404 error"
As been the same problem with multiple log in attempts from multiple computers since friday , so I can only conclude the problem is at their end

Is always usefult to put in the context of the models and make your own assessments accordingly
and remeber it's targeted at cockies not city slickers

With fencepost you need to drop the region and then push the go icon.
Otherwise it does not work.

Yes, grr. fencepost indeed.
This appears to be a problem with the website. I've allearted them to it and waiting as to what they will say. I actually noted this on Thu or Fri last week but at the time thought it was rouge "bookmarks" in the word doc casuing problems. However the problem persists.
So here's hoping it gets resolved soon.
Cheers

The problem is with the clickable map on the front page. I believe they are working on it. The forecasts are updating on the internal pages as usual.

I got Fencepost OK this evening, mind you it was about 15 minutes ago.
Good forecasts theirs.
Keep on clicking onto them.
Aaron and Tony do a good job.
