"Weather, anyone?"

Just in case no one notices, I stuck a live weather picture on the wall of the VPC. If you click on it, it brings up the current 12-hour weather synopsis for the US. I've got a lead on live sat pix etc. for the whole western hemisphere and will put them on the Pilot Services page. I think it's pretty cool, but does anyone have a problem with them or how I've got it placed?

Real cool idea Ben!, however, it seems to be placed in front of the FlightAdventures sign on the back wall???
Was just wondering if this was a mistake or it's real position?

Cheers.

You must not be running your browser maximized. The clock and weather map will shift on displays that are lower than 800x600 (well, actually less than 800 pixels wide). I used to have the main window resize itself to eliminate the problem, but got very bad feedback about doing that. The message to leave everyone's browsers alone came through very clearly!

Please let me know if you still see a problem with your browser maximized.

I do see the Weather Map just above the Logo, but :Q: can it sit "on top of the Shelf" like the "Adventure Logs" do? Other than that, looks good, works on mine!

Hmm, it is sitting on the ledge like the Adventure Logs on my system. I guess I better try and reference the weather map with the same call as the clock. Stand by...

OK, it seems the clock and weather map would shift based on which font size you're using in your browser. I was able to set these items in absolute positions, but at the expense of centering the image in the browser. Anyway, all should be well now regardless of which font size you use and/or screen resolution. Please speak up if it's still messed up for you.

Thanks!
Ben
