Hi Steve,
Looking at Cumulus web pages there's one feature which I think would further enhance it. We have All Time Records but once a station has been running a while it takes something exceptional for those to change.
Could we also have Current Year Records? Those would be very useful to website visitors.
Thanks,

Re: Current Year Records feature
It's a good idea, and I think it was in C2, so hopefully it can make it to C1
I do it currently on my site, but I upload all the data to an SQL database on the server and query that so I can see some key info on a specific year (or day if I wish)

Re: Current Year Records feature
It wouldn't be too hard to do; just clone the all-time records code and have a set of records which get reset at the start of the year. Not difficult, just tedious.

Re: Current Year Records feature
David,
Thanks. As someone who has used Access for 15 years the idea of having all my data in a database on the server interests me. I'm not familiar with SQL databases but the principle of selecting records remains the same whatever the vehicle.
It's something I want to get into once I have more time (post retirement probably).
Steve, I appreciate it will be tedious but you only need to do it once and everyone benefits.
