	WunderPhoto WunderMap Layer

Posted by: WundergroundDevs, 6:01 PM GMT on November 13, 2008

Did you know that you can see WunderPhotos on the WunderMap?

The WunderPhotos that have been uploaded and approved on our site can now be viewed in the geographical location that the photographer claimed the photo was taken.

The default settings show 25 photos that were taken Today -- and yes, you can increase that number up to 50, and choose a different date.

Additionally, there are controls to:

show photos from an entire month, as opposed to a specific day. (In
this case, VIP and Approver's choice photos are given priority).

show photos from a certain category

show photos that were taken by a certain member ('handle')

On the WunderMap, enable the "Photos" layer in the Map Controls, here.

As usual, if you want to report an issue, please create a problem ticket in the support system.

a little too harsh on the admins there Taz. They do maintain the blogs from time to time to make sure the things worked. This slowdown probably was just an overloaded server. I mean there were tornadoes, blizzards/heavy snow, river floods, and an erupting volcano for possibly a lot of people to try to connect here to get information.

Hi I got a trouble report through to admin yesterday. They answered me.It just took time to fix the problem. That's life. I think they try. :)

53. WunderYakuza (Admin) 6:58 PM GMT on March 29, 2009
Well Taz, we do still care, I promise. :) We had a problem with a very important piece of hardware that started on Friday night. We got it into a semi-stable, but degraded state by early Saturday morning and decided to knock off for a few hours sleep. We spent pretty much the entire day trying to debug the problem on Saturday. By mid evening we had switch over to alternate hardware, which should have clear up most of the issues. This morning, after some much needed sleep, we found what we believe to be the root cause of the initial problem. System stability should be high from here on out. I want to appologize for the service problems, but again say thank you for reporting issues to support, sending notes about particular services affected, and being patient while we worked it out.

There ya go! See Taz, he still loves us... No wonder he doesn't get a chance to blog much with us anymore - da poor man is getting worked to death trying to maintain that HAL 9000... ;) Thanks again, Big A! Enjoy your Sunday aftn...

56. Harls11 2:20 AM GMT on March 31, 2009
Any special press release type thing coming on the addition of more of these 'high definition' radars? I noticed many are in somewhat different locations than their parent radars. Too bad that one in St. Louis couldn't have been placed slightly farther west, then maybe it'd work for me.

57. KEEPEROFTHEGATE 2:32 AM GMT on March 31, 2009

Can't seem to find the visible satellite on Wunderground anymore, what happened to it? I liked it alot.

65. chriscolm 10:51 PM GMT on April 30, 2009
Hi! I can not find any info on how to set up a weather station to be used by the website "weather underground" promoting this blog as "developers blog". I found a place just down the road from me, on this weather underground, with webcam and detailed maping of everything to do with the weather. I would like to participate and set up another weather station, but do not know how. Please advise, thanks chris

66. KEEPEROFTHEGATE 11:43 PM GMT on April 30, 2009
Link link to weather station information

67. Tazmanian 4:43 AM GMT on May 10, 2009
may be sooner or later can we see a new blog update???

68. tilion 7:11 PM GMT on May 18, 2009
What happened to the wunder photos thumbnails? Are they gone forever? I hate having to manually page through the pictures.

69. Blizzard92 7:18 PM GMT on May 18, 2009
WundergroundDevs- When did the photo gallery change? I like it very much especially the comment section and the general modern uniform look to it. Great job!

70. sp34n119w 7:30 PM GMT on May 18, 2009
I like it, too! The photos show much better without that bulky frame around them. The series thumbnails weren't where I expected - they are at the bottom, below the comment section, which is also an awesome idea! Being able to comment instead of wumail a photog without a blog is great :)

71. Feather3 7:41 PM GMT on May 18, 2009
The new look is EXCELLENT and so far, all new approaches, including the WunderPhotoBOT (LOVE THAT NAME!) has been faithful in letting photographer's know when someone has commented on their shots! Thanks, all WunderPhotoAdmin and Developer's, for all your hard work in getting this up and running so smoothly, so fast! Feather

72. LowerCal 8:21 PM GMT on May 18, 2009
I like the new WunderPhoto features and arrangement and the old features now look much nicer too. :^) Nice work!

73. kojack 3:07 PM GMT on May 21, 2009
I liked the feature that showed number of new photos for the day and the total number of photos on the system. Is it still possible to see those numbers?

74. Tazmanian 4:11 AM GMT on May 22, 2009
oh blog developer are you evere going too update this blog we like too here from you

75. WundergroundDevs (Admin) 8:30 PM GMT on May 22, 2009
Quoting kojack: I liked the feature that showed number of new photos for the day and the total number of photos on the system. Is it still possible to see those numbers? This should be visible again now. I've put it over by the search fields in the right column.

76. Tazmanian 1:18 AM GMT on May 23, 2009
is there a way we can turn the commet box in too Rapid Fire???

77. reeldrlaura 5:01 PM GMT on May 23, 2009
WU Devs, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the new photo page(s)...very nice work y'all. Thank you.

78. southflgolfer 11:00 PM GMT on May 26, 2009
Hi WU - I love some of the new features on the photos page....especially the ability for viewers to post comments. The only thing I would like to see changed is the ability to see more thumbnails on the page when viewing the different galleries. It seems they got squished together due to inserting ads. I'm sure the ads are a great source of revenue, but can we get the bigger thumbnail viewing area back that we had before? Thanks and keep up the great work. SouthFLGolfer

79. bigtrucker 11:03 PM GMT on May 26, 2009
I like the new features..Gallery is looking good!!!!

81. LowerCal 5:06 AM GMT on June 09, 2009
No, I am not too keen on the new extra large font size for blog entries.

82. sp34n119w 7:19 AM GMT on June 09, 2009
Quoting LowerCal: No, I am not too keen on the new extra large font size for blog entries. Oh, thank goodness! I thought it was just me and I'd messed something up, LOL Now I have to think about if I like it or not...

83. Tazmanian 1:43 PM GMT on June 09, 2009
whats with the new font size??

84. gemstone 4:15 PM GMT on June 09, 2009
Something I don't like is you can't access the slide show anywhere except on the first pic in the series. It is really a hassle otherwise this is a great site!

85. unclemush 4:43 PM GMT on June 09, 2009
Quoting LowerCal: No, I am not too keen on the new extra large font size for blog entries. I thought it was my computer.LOL Thanks for the info. :)

86. LowerCal 1:27 AM GMT on June 12, 2009
I like having the previous blog entry font size back. :^) I also like the new weather aggregator and scrolling headlines at the right side of the "Search:" bar. One question, "What does the Impact column mean in the Caster Data?"

87. LowerCal 1:47 AM GMT on June 12, 2009
Quoting LowerCal: I like having the previous blog entry font size back. :^) Ohh... and it's adjustable now. Brilliant!

88. Tazmanian 1:55 AM GMT on June 12, 2009
Quoting WundergroundDevs: This should be visible again now. I've put it over by the search fields in the right column. are you evere going to give us a new blog and tell us whats been going on???

89. Globe199 2:09 PM GMT on June 12, 2009
The little weather alert widget at the top is neat, but I dislike animations in web pages. Is there a way to permanently turn it off?

90. WundergroundDevs (Admin) 3:25 PM GMT on June 12, 2009
Quoting LowerCal: I also like the new weather aggregator and scrolling headlines at the right side of the "Search:" bar. One question, "What does the Impact* column mean in the Caster Data?"* Impact gives human input a relative importance rating to the machine generated content. It's how we sort things. We'll use Caster for site status announcements and new products as well as weather information. Quoting Globe199: The little weather alert widget at the top is neat, but I dislike animations in web pages. Is there a way to permanently turn it off? Yes, click the pause button represented by two parallel vertical lines in between the up and down arrows on the right side of the Caster scroll. It will set a cookie that stops the animation.
