If you’ve created a MonMW account then log in to that account, go to the Bushkill site (https://monitormywatershed.org/sites/ULBC3S/), and click the “Follow” box in the upper right corner of the site page (circled in red on attached).  That should allow you to receive updates if/when the station stops transmitting.  Please let us know if y…[Read more]

This is a known issue and I did already post to github about it, but if you want to add more info you can go to that post:  https://github.com/ODM2/ODM2DataSharingPortal/issues/551

Jim @w3asa your mouse wheel must be broken. And as Robert S points out the x-axis can be scrolled on within the graph itself, just not on the axis or the range at the bottom.

He has come up with some ways to deal with it.  Jim, would you mind responding to this thread with the same post that you recently made to the Delaware Basin Sensor Stations online group?
