On the prediction table, events are listed hit or miss. But when there's a hit there's no details on what size how close or whatever. I have tried the new board and without changes it takes away from thew quality of investigation we would usually have especially on the near misses. Good for the records that board, but only for hit/miss, and not for any detail. I think the new format actually is preventing much of the dialogue and investigation we used to have even when a forecaster missed there was talk about by how much, a very essential ingredient to refining forecasting skills. Your work is great, don't get me wrong, but there has to be an attached dialogue to each forecast. Perhaps a main board and a second one for forecaster's comments on the success failure of prediction and why. I suggested this before, and I am not going to use the new forum unless I get my way. Just doesn't fully address the forecaster's long hours when there's a near miss, and believe me for most that's most of the forecasts made. Without a mention of activity in the posted region, hit or miss, nothing has been accomplished as far as teaching or learning. No one goes away from the board to wade through posts and comments. Must be attached. Thanks Michael, P.S. I won 8 free dinners on the Seattle quake being felt here. Should be full for a while...mb.
