Dear Flying Spaghetti Monster, they reduce their need to maintain two styles by eliminating the better one.heyyahblah wrote: ↑ The entire layout of the website has changed also. If you visit on desktop the site looks like a mobile website. Not sure if this was intentional or not.
Yea, the last layout they had before this "security breach" was just fine. Easy to read and navigate for desktop users. All the important relevant information was at the top of the page, when you loaded the city you were searching for. Now it's just a complete nightmare. It's literally forcing you to scroll through all that garbage just to get relevant information. I really hope the site reverts, otherwise time to change websites. Try out The Weather Channel or Environment Canada.
I like how you put "security breach" in quotes, very accurate.heyyahblah wrote: ↑ Yea, the last layout they had before this "security breach" was just fine.

I use this as well, but I dislike that they don't let you search weather by postal code for microclimate readings.
Happened since yesterday morning, I think they are upgrading with new website, new look. This morning, new site came but not working, asked me to 'Try again'. I use this every morning became my routine. I don't like new look.CrappyTire404 wrote: ↑ Not sure which section this belongs in, but I'm getting bad gateway on their homepage and the apps on both iOS and Droid no longer show any weather.
Whats going on lol?
Yea it's still semi-broken. Seems they are trying to polish the site. They changed the perfectly working and informative desktop site, and transformed it into a mobile app. If you disable your ad-blocker and visit the site you get the same spam/ads and layout as you would on their mobile android app. I downloaded TWN on my phone to compare. The ads are getting so intrusive. I can see why so many have stopped using it. Complete garbo full screen ads app, and now they've ruined a perfectly good website.

If I wanted "app" style weather on my PC, I can just launch MSN Weather from the Microsoft Store in W10/11 and use that instead ad free. It's too bad, I liked TWN site.
Ah, i use the app, not the widget.
not sure it's a new layout...no radar, or 14 day forecast is showing. On mobile at least it isn't
