Hi, Am new to all this and must admit loving learning from what I have read here on the forums.
Managed to setup my sick station temporarily ( La Crosse WS2355) while I wait for its replacement to arrive.. ( Oregon WMR200A)
Looking at the webpage I figure there is not a lot of relevance in showing gauges that are only going to be updated every 15 min or so.
Looking at it gives the impression that the wind for instance is blowing constantly.. because the gauge isnt moving.
Better to do without the gauges page in favour of the today and other text versions..
Can anyone tell me how to turn it off?

The 'proper' way to do this is to create your own set of pages, turn off 'upload standard files' and list your pages on the 'files' tab. A quicker method might be to delete the gaugesT.htm file (this will cause an error to be logged in the diags file but should be otherwise OK) and amend all the other files to remove the link to it from them. The gauge images themselves will still be uploaded but not used anywhere.

You might want to consider using an alternative set of (animated) gauges, like the 'steel series' ones which Mark Crossley has produced.
