Forecast page does not work as expected.

Example:

• go to today's flare page:
  http://solarmonitor.org/forecast.php?date=20151030
• go back rotations till you pass the 31st of August, the old one appears
  http://solarmonitor.org/forecast_no_fps.php?date=20150710&region=&indexnum=1
  • go forward a couple of rotations: 6 Sept, the old one still appears
    http://solarmonitor.org/forecast_no_fps.php?date=20150902&region=&indexnum=1
  • click in the left hand side menu for flare forecast, and the new one appears:
    http://solarmonitor.org/forecast.php?date=20150902

The problem, as I see it, is that you have created a new page: forecast_no_fps which replaces the old forecast.php.

I have two issues with it:

1.- People that may have links to the old site which will not work now! Maybe there are papers outthere referencing the values for certain date.

2.- There should not be a new page, but a page that loads one function or the other depending on the date.

Hi David,

Thanks for spotting that. I see what you mean. With the 'rotations' click the old one still appears.

If I understand you correctly, this new function would write a page that displays the FPS image or doesn't, depending on the date?

Exactly, in the same way that the index page works, it knows by the date whether to show the four panels (as now) or two (when we had stereo and not sdo) or just one before 2006.
