Data Integrity and Recovery Improvements
Corrected older calendar records so recurring meetings and nets use one consistent date format without changing their Eastern dates or times.
Prevented repeat clicks or simultaneous requests from creating duplicate weekly calendar series or duplicate contest contacts.
Manual backups now include exactly the uploaded files referenced by the verified database snapshot, including document thumbnails, and stop safely if a required file is missing or changes during backup.
Member deletion now records uploaded-file cleanup durably, retries temporary storage failures automatically, and confirms each object is gone before completing the cleanup task.
Events
Event Times on the Calendar
Calendar entries now show their Eastern start time before the event title, so members can see when a meeting or net begins without opening its details.
All-day events continue to display without an unnecessary time.
Weather
Simpler Weather Map
Removed the Open Animated Radar button from the Weather Map for now while keeping the live radar and map controls available.
Events
Calendar History Stays Visible
The Calendar now keeps earlier events visible throughout the month and when looking back at prior months.
Completed events have a subtle checkmark, while today’s events receive a stronger outline and Upcoming Events continues to show only what is still coming up.
Events
Calendar Categories and Colors
Administrators can now create or remove calendar categories and choose a background color for each one.
Calendar events can be assigned a category, with Nets starting in light blue and Meetings starting in yellow.
The old weekly-net import and calendar-approval controls have been retired now that the net directory is on the calendar.
Weather
Balanced Weather Map Layout
The Weather Map and Quick Weather Maps now align naturally at the bottom on larger screens while keeping the compact previews easy to use.
Website
Clearer Local Storm Report Details
Local Storm Report popups now show the official NWS report time, location, event type, magnitude, forecast office, and original report remarks.
Weather
Working Quick Weather Map Previews
Quick Weather Maps now place each official weather layer over the same regional map, so the previews remain useful even when there is no activity to show.
Website
Cleaner SPC Outlook Map
Removed the Martin County location dot from the SPC outlook map while keeping the county boundary visible.
Weather
More Compact Weather Map Toolbar
Placed Map View and Weather Layers together across the top of the Weather Map toolbar, while keeping applicable options in a separate row below.
Website
Reliable SPC Day Selection
Corrected the Severe Outlook map so changing to Day 2 or Day 3 replaces the previous SPC outlook cleanly.
Weather
Improved Weather Map Controls
Organized the Weather Map controls into clear Map View, Weather Layers, and Options groups.
Replaced the layer checkboxes with readable toggle buttons and kept only the options that apply to the selected map view or layers visible.
Website
Easier-to-Read Quick Map Titles
Made the Quick Weather Map titles larger and darker to match the clear MCARC SKYWARN status lettering.
Website
Clearer NWS Radar Link
Renamed the Weather Map button to NWS Radar while keeping its link to the official National Weather Service radar page.
Weather
Improved Quick Weather Maps
Quick Weather Maps now use compact regional NOAA-rendered images so lightning, precipitation, wind, and storm reports display more reliably.
The main map now preserves the official NWS wind-barb and Local Storm Report symbols while keeping each location selectable for details.
Weather
Clearer Weather Map Markers
Storm Report locations now use solid red markers so recent reports are easier to spot on the Weather Map.
Current Wind observation locations now use solid blue markers for the same visibility.
Weather
Quick Weather Maps
Added four compact official NOAA and NWS weather-map previews for lightning, recent precipitation, current wind observations, and Local Storm Reports.
Selecting a preview turns on that information in the main Weather Map without leaving the page.
Website
Full-Strength Radar by Default
Renamed the radar opacity control to Opacity, aligned it with the map layer choices, and changed the default radar display to full strength.
Website
Clearer Radar Controls
Shortened the map layer names so the radar controls fit more comfortably on one line, and renamed the official radar link to Animated Radar.
Website
Severe Outlook Map
Added an official Storm Prediction Center Severe Outlook map alongside the existing live NOAA radar.
Members can view Day 1 through Day 3 outlooks, with tornado, wind, and hail probabilities when SPC publishes them.
Website
Simpler National Alert List
National alert details now stay hidden until a member selects a category, while counts and update time remain visible.
A clear notice still appears whenever a Tornado Warning is active anywhere in the United States.
Website
Easier-to-Read National Alert Filters
Made the national watches and warnings filter buttons much larger and clearer to read and tap.
Website
Active U.S. Watches and Warnings
Added a compact nationwide list of active NWS watches and warnings, with quick category filters and the most urgent alerts first.
Members can open the official NWS details and instructions for each alert without leaving the Weather page.
Website
Focused Live Radar
Removed the animated radar controls and kept the clear NOAA live radar map.
Added an Open Official NWS Radar button for members who want the National Weather Service's full radar player.
