New Record keeps flashing

Post by pgils »

Hi, new to Cumulus, but installed and all works fine.

One thing bothering me is the constant flash of "New Record", as i read in FAQ that this only flashes when a new record has been reached. :?:

Is this a problem, or is it correct that it flashes all the time, and which effect does it have on my history data.

Best regards, and thanks for a nice program :D

It does only start flashing when a new record has been reached; it continues to flash until you notice that it is flashing and tell it not to (by clicking on it), or restart Cumulus. This seemed like the best approach to me, rather than turning it off after a set period, when you might not have seen it, and hence not notice that you have a new record.

For the first few weeks, you'll regularly break new records. ;)

:clap: Thanks a lot - this sure did the trick - and yes the feature is quite nice once you know how it works.

So hopefully will have a long life with Cumulus - the start looks fine.

Thanks

It's a great feature. Just click on the flashing light to see the new record. Then it stops flashing. I was also confused at first.

Thanks for the response guys, :D

I'm now used to see it flashing and nice feature.

If anyone is interested i've used a lot of the things that was attached to Cumulus when i downloaded it, and my site http://www.pgils.dk is up and running.

Still having problems with the realtime features, but will search the forums for a solution to that.
