    Mixed bag here too but when the sun was out the system was on fire. Looked at the monitoring over lunch and pushing nearly 4.3kW. Ended the day at 18.5 kWh, or 3.52 O.

    Yes ! And the rest of the 'improvements' seem to have disappeared too.

    For those who missed it, the board had been repainted in funny colours, was no longer showing which threads had been updated since last visit and the new postings were assigned some rather odd formatting. Let's hope the perpetrator has been admonished.

    What a mess! I kept clicking the option at the top to 'go back to old format for a short period' but nothing changed. When it finally changed back I just thought it had a very slow refresh (3 hours?) but clearly it was switched back for all. Horrendous, but bet we get it regardless.

    Got a TyphOOO yesterday (16.9kWh / 3.03 Os).

    Good news today, there's a house at the bottom of my garden (ESE) so as the sun rises behind it, we don't generate till the sun is approx SE, but today it's reached the point where it rises to the East, and just skims over the roof of the house, so that adds about 30 to 60 mins of generation in one go.

    800W at 6.40am and on went the oil rad. Then hit 1.2kW by 7am. Now 1.7kW. Lovely, and it only gets better (weather permitting) from now on. It also means that the WNW panels get to see more and more sun now. Already just passing 6pm but only a few Watts.

    I couldn't even find an option button to revert !
    Let's hope that the 'improved' version dies a quiet death- but I'll be first in queue to complain if it doesn't.

    Hiya Eric. It was partly hidden. Near the top of the page(s) was a sentence, something like - "here's our new layout blah ...... blah for a short time you can change back to the old layout".

    I think the words change back were a command, and hovering over them brought up a click, but it didn't actually seem to do anything when I clicked on it an ever growing number of times.

    I was a little concerned at the bit that said you could change back for a short time, suggesting it was soon to be permanent. It looked very flashy, but form over function, compared to a simple list of threads to select. Everything new can be a pain at first, but I really can't see how 'that' layout was an improvement.
