Choose the sites to display on the Latest Reports page
You can now pick the sites you want to display on the <a href="/http://www.bigwavedave.ca/latest.htm" target="_self">Latest Reports</a> page. On the side menu, select "Set Table Options" then select the sites that you want to display. Then refesh the main page and only the sites you picked should show up (hopefully).
This is all done using cookies (a small file is saved on your computer). So you need to have your browser set to allow cookies.
Please let me know if you have any problems and if it works ok. The first thing I'll do is probably remove Trial Island from my table
Also, if you go to http://bigwavedave.ca/latest.htm (without the www.) you may have to allow third party cookies in Internet Explorer (Tools->Options->Privacy->Advanced : Override = On, First-Party = Accept, Third-party=Accept, Always Allow Session cookie=On).

Re: Choose the sites to display on the Latest Reports page
Thanks for the suggestions. Maybe Cape Mudge...that's if anyone sails up there? I'm not sure it's worth it unless someone speaks up that they would use it. The only drawback is that the more sites I check each hour slows down my program.~ pimp hand wrote:would it be possible to ad some more stations now? ... like Mudge,Pulteney and Scarlett? pleeeease?
So you mean have a check box that you hit that will show all sites and ignore your settings? If you un-check the box it will show only your preferred sites? Yeah, I could do that quite easily, if that's what you mean.bean wrote:could you set it up so that the default Latest Reports is the subset you've selected but have the complete list available with one button click instead of un-doing the selection?
thanks

Re: Choose the sites to display on the Latest Reports page
I'll add Cape Mudge sometime soon. I'm not too sure about removing Comox airport - I've been told that it's a good estimate for kiting at the spit and it's every hour, Lazo is every 3hrs. Maybe someone else can comment if Comox airport is useful or not??~ pimp hand ~ wrote:well i know i'd use it(as fisherman and sailor) ... and probably other user groups as well

don't take my word for it ... look for yourself here: http://www.bigwavedave.ca/gallery/displ ... at=0&pos=0
lazo is situated on a point located on the water, while the airport is up on top of a hill and inland a bit ... which one would you want to rely on?
it's really too bad about the 3 hour updates tho
Lazo Airport
Yes"Cape Mudge Lighthouse report"!Amazing Waves there,when she really blows.Plus all that wind is going right by Lazo.I also know someone with a house, right on Lazo point.Water view.Maybe we can put a Cam.
