Your realtime.txt file keeps going empty, this may be the cause of the problem. You need to use the ftp 'rename' option to stop that happening.

You probably don't need your realtime.txt file to update as frequently as you have, as your station only updates every 48 seconds.

I think Greek looks excellent on a web site, by the way :)

Your page is working OK for me - I've loaded it a few times now. How often do you see the problem? You do know that it will always take 30 seconds to load, because you have the interval set to 30 seconds?

First of all Hello to everyone, i'm in the process of setting up my website with Cumulus Realtime and have come across a similar problem.
The Cumulus Realtime silverlight is stuck at loading data for guests new to my website, BUT, on the mac i use to view it i have no problems, if i remember the first time i loaded it then it did have a problem but has been fine since.
Tried it now on 4 machines all with various browsers and OS's, still works great on my macbook.

Any ideas ?

Thanks for a wonderful piece of software.

http://theweatherinporta.com/PortAransasrealtime.html works fine for me, on Firefox, IE9 and Chrome.

If you turn on the error console on a browser that shows the problem, that might give some info.

Thanks for the reply Steve, i cant figure it out. Works on some computers/browsers but not on others. No error messages in the console.
I will get feedback from users and try and see if i can narrow it down. It does seem like its maybe just 'issues' with each persons Pc though.

Thanks again for your time.

Julian
