Can I try running MX beside a working 1.9.4 build 1098?

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Well, tonight when I set out to get you the requested information, I find that Cumulus MX seems to be fully operational. :)

So, was I supposed to reboot the PC at some point when turning it on? Or shut down and reload the browser? If not, I'll chalk it up to more Windows Weirdness.

BTW, how come on both Cumulus 1 and on MX I always see "stormy, much rain" when it isn't stormy or raining? It has always said that 24/7 since I started using Cumulus.

Thank you! That fixed it. :)

The FAQ is a lengthy document full of all sorts of troubleshooting tips, but I had not realized I might find the solution there. In my initial. setup, here in the US, I set the main Units to inches, and seeing this beside it, also changed the pressure extremes to inches. But I had neglected to edit the default mb values. Since, as the FAQ explains, this setting has no bearing on the displayed pressure readings, I simply changed it back to mb and left the numerals untouched. I now see a correct "Settled fine" forecast in the ribbon. :)
