The sun ....what is that?????? ;)

No Michael, I can't get those sites either.
I see MetService are doing a re-vamp of their Web-site from the !st of September.
I hope it IS better than their current site because I have known when people say that they are going to have something new, or a re-vamp, it is not nessessarily as good as their previous.
I hate change just for the sake of it :x

I dont think there change will be just for the sake of it!! It really does need an up grade, its all over the place and doesnt have the easy access that sites need too encourage new users to use it!

This site gets "stuck" a few times a year. They actually have put a really large note on the LHS near the bottom telling you they have broken it.
There is no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes.

I've just tried it from work where we have a fast connection through Telecom Xtra and I have not been able to have a complete page load yet. Anyone else having problems? The old site loaded pages in less then a second or 2. :!: No problems with connectivity as the forum loads quickly and its off shore.

Same here Jeff. I'm on telstra clear (cable), I believe it's not as fast as telecom but still fast. I managed to load the first page after a while, I haven't seen anything beyond that as the pages are to slow to load. So yes, very slow loading! :( Maybe too many people are trying to look at the NEW website? Must be someting else.

The jury is still out.

It's very slow for me as well at the moment but hopefully it's just everybody trying the new features at the same time !

The "My Weather" thing looks quite good with being able to customise multiple pages of data.

It was OK for me earlier this morning but then as you say lots of people may be trying out the new features at the same time :-k

Didn't take me very long to download the new site, in fact about the same time as the old site. (and I have a slow computer) My internet connection is through Telecom.
