G'day Folks,
Been running cumulus 1 for 'many' years but now I'm a newby to MX. Got everything up and running relatively simply but one thing I've noticed is the localhost version of the cloud base gauge is in feet whereas I want it in meters. When I refresh the screen, it starts in meters but returns to feet as soon as the pointer starts to move. Looked everywhere in settings, FAQ's etc and all I found was "CloudBaseInFeet=0" in the Cumulus.ini file but it has no effect (0 should be meters anyway).
So, any ideas as to how to display cloud base in meters?
Thanks.

Re: How to change Local cloud base units?
Thanks for the quick response but that didn't make any difference. I even tried editing the same lines (lines 204 and 205) in dashboard.js just in case.
I also stopped & restarted CumulusMX after any edits.
Still no joy.
Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?
