Met Office weather website funny

The cookie button (and cookie settings button) also has no effect in Pale Moon under Linux Mint, so the website has a coding problem.

I can remove the cookie banner using the add-on for Pale Moon to "Remove the overlay from this page". That allows all the page to show and a region to be selected. Once that area is selected, it appears but the cookie overlay reappears! I can then use the add-on to remove it again and view the selected area weather details.

Another website made unusable by "improvements".

It was once easy to see when the "weather warnings" spanned. Obviously too easy. Now it's a series of clicks here and clicks there and (unless I'm missing something) you still don't get a timeline display.

This one is fine -

Also shows more of Europe.

I use this firefox add-on

it nuked the metoffice cookie warning just like it does hundreds of others (I had to disable the add-on and reload to even see it, and yes, the OK button fails here too).

Also fails with Chrome 84.

I see no Cookie OK button. It all works OK for me, just as it usually does, using Win10 ver.1909 build 18363.1016, Firefox 79.0 64 bit, and Ghostery, uBlock Origin and Adblock plus. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place, but scrolling down to the bottom is no problem.

But it's still not raining here!

Just had 10 minutes of magenta/white rain, and looks like even more is coming down the track, sounds like thunder with the next lot ...

Yep, doesn't work in Opera. Gave them feedback, that bit works. Dunno if they'll take any notice.

I think the only place you get a clear graphic tiimeline is the local forecast page. Even that is complicated by the use fof tabs for each day.

Do you mean this page:

It works ok for me in FF on Linux Ubuntu

Only if you're using appropriate extensions.

Ah! Did a Ccleaner run last night, and now the page is as you describe

- cookie button unresponsive and lower part of the screen blacked out. But I can still scroll down to the stuff lower down, except that it's in a narrower window.

I've noticed problems with web sites like this, in my case its recognised as a control that is either clickable or a button, but no matter what you do, simulated mouse overs or enter or space etc, these refuse to budge. I did have some success with IE of all things but many web sites chuck you off if you use it. Another annoyance for me with sites is that they detect you have an ad blocker, and refuse to let you see the tuff under said banner, but the controls often don't work on this either. I have a big bone to pick with sites like its, since the site design may be accessible but the adverts screw up the access of the site if you allow them, so we blindies tend to vote with our keyboards and go elsewhere!

The problem is that it was exactly perfect before. A nice line underneath the hourly forecast on the same page. No need to click further.

Now not only do you have to click (that's one more) but what you get is s*it.

On the basis there are plenty of other weather providers out there just move on. Long experience tells me that they have zero intention of changing it.

I'm fairly sanguine about features that would be nice, but never get added. I am less so when features are removed.

Unlikely.

But there is a slider bar at the bottom so you can move smoothly through all 7 days. And at the right of the screen is an > to click on too.

They had an interesting Global Weather map (beta) but for some reason it has gone, and a message inviting people to register their interest has replaced it.

Fails on Chrome 84 here. It looks like they are failing to set the SameSite attribute in their cookie request which the newer version of Chrome (and probably other Chromium based browsers) is now refusing to accept on security grounds.

I have no such issue. Using W10 2004 and Firefox 79.

Maybe uBlock Origin? Or existing cookie settings (only accepting what I can't refuse)?

Mind, was using the app on my phone earlier and the adverts in it made it really annoying to use. Don't we already pay for the Met Office?
