[QUOTE="BakerQ, post: 241032, member: 57372"] Yeah, this thread is pretty old, but it's still relevant to the issue I'm having. Firstly, yes, the UI for Weather is misleading at best for the reasons described above. My primary complaint is that when I go to weather, seeing the forecast immediately is nice, but what I want to see more than anything is my local radar image. This means I have to select Images from the menu and then wait as it access the Internet and pulls down the latest satellite image (because satellite is the first entry). I then need to arrow down to choose the word Satellite which pulls up the Temperature map (and again wait while it grabs the image from the Internet, usually about three to five seconds with no feedback that it's requesting the image). Still not at my destination, I select Temperature to pull up Humidity. Rinse repeat through the two other images before I finally get to radar. Going from the forecast to the radar/precipitation image takes a total of about 30 seconds. Instead of having an entire page for Images, why not have a link to each individual image on the left when you're looking at the forecast? That way I can just arrow directly to the image I want and not worry about pollen or humidity or temperature (which I can already see from the forecast page). And would it be possible to have the weather plugin actively pulling images every few minutes (in the background without locking up MP or even displaying the rotating "working" symbol [your theme may vary]) so that when I go to the weather page it doesn't need to download it immediately?
