Community
The owners-only community in the dashboard: six groups for updates, talk, troubleshooting and station tips, threaded replies, likes, and a weekly records post.
Community in the dashboard sidebar is a small forum for Pro Weather site owners. It is not public and not indexed by search engines. Questions are answered by other owners and by us.
The groups
| Group | For |
|---|---|
| Updates | Product news and notes from Lennart, who builds Pro Weather. Only he starts posts here; anyone can reply. |
| General | Weather stations, weather, and meeting other owners. |
| Records | The weekly records post (see below). Replies only. |
| Troubleshooting | Help with data, sensors and connections. |
| Station setup | Mounting, siting and hardware. |
| Tips and ideas | Setups, dashboards and discoveries worth sharing. |
A dot next to a group means it has something you have not seen.
What is new
Inside a group, messages written since your last visit carry a lime dot and a New label, and a post shows how many of its replies are new. The count next to the sort options adds them up. The markers stay while you read and reset when you come back after a break of more than half an hour. Your own messages are never marked new.
Sorting and likes
Active (the default) puts the thread with the most recent message first, so a post that just got a reply moves back to the top. A line marked Earlier separates what moved since your last visit from what was already there. New sorts by when the post was written, and Top by likes.
Choose the heart under any message to like it, and again to take the like back. You cannot like your own messages.
Posting and replies
Pick a group and write in the box at the top. Messages are plain text, up to 1,000 characters, and appear under your first site's title with a link to it. You can post 10 messages every 5 minutes, replies included.
Choose Reply under any post, in any group. Replies appear under the post, oldest first, and you can reply to a reply. After four levels the indent stops and a "Replying to" line shows who is being answered.
You can delete your own messages. Deleting a post also deletes its replies. Each group shows 50 posts in the chosen order, with all their replies.
Weekly community records
Every Sunday the Records group gets an automatic post naming the public stations with the week's lowest and highest temperature, most rain, most sunshine and strongest gust.
A station is included when its site is published and on an active plan, and it has at least five well-measured days that week. To opt out, turn off Include my public station under Account → Preferences.
