Where has the moon info gone????

I just went to click on the little moon icon and no sign of it. Is it gone for good? Moved? Just my computer?

Hi WoTmania,

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the moon's gone. Sad

To be perfectly honest, it hadn't worked all that well for about three years quite a while, and nobody had reported it - which led us to conclude it wasn't that highly valued by MNers.

So it was decided that, for now, Tech's in-demand time and resources were better spent elsewhere.

Sorry to make you wail!

But MNHQ how am I supposed to know when DH is due to be in a right old grump now? Honestly his monthly grumpy day ALWAYS coincides with a full moon Grin

@NameChangerNewDanger

Moon?

See what we mean? Grin

WoTmania · 27/09/2014 21:49

Ah, Boo hiss. The moon has gone? What will we do about tides etc? That's really no good but thanks for getting back to me. I'll have to find another easy source.

Zombie will miss the waxing crescent, the waxing gibbous, the full moon, the waning gibbous, the waning crescent and the new moon.

But but but... tbf my moon thingy was permanently half no matter what was happening outside in the real world anyway.

TooMuchCantBreath · 28/09/2014 00:27

Mine was always half too - but I liked it! Grin

NerfHerder · 28/09/2014 00:30
Sad I loved that moon!
FruVikingessOla · 28/09/2014 06:56

If you clicked on the moon it took you to another page which told you where the moon was.

I didn't notice it had gone though Blush

NetworkGuy · 28/09/2014 11:06

I noticed it had gone... and came here, and now I know :(

FruVikingessOla · 28/09/2014 15:52

The moon thing was quite helpful when things were 'kicking off' on here sometimes - check the moon phases and then walk away when it was a Full Moon Grin

Rummikub · 28/09/2014 15:54

I liked the moon. Bring back the moon!

WoTmania · 28/09/2014 20:36

Loved my moon, now I have to go off and look it up

Good grief, you want to know the phase of the moon, go here:

www.moonconnection.com/current_moon_phase.phtml

Why do you think Google was invented?

FruVikingessOla · 29/09/2014 07:32

John, we do know how to Google, you know Grin

It's just that the moon was quite useful on here - even though I hadn't noticed it had gone!

Blondieminx · 29/09/2014 07:41

I liked the moon icon for exactly the reasons Fru said, and I wished the app had it.

Sad it has gone!

WoTmania · 29/09/2014 14:20

am perfectly capable of finding it CanadianJohn (and have done) but it was nice and convenient on here

OP posts:
WoTmania · 29/09/2014 14:20

plus which I like the format

OP posts:
FruVikingessOla · 29/09/2014 15:46

Quite, WoTmania! I fear that CanadianJohn has missed the point of your thread, particularly as you posted in Site Stuff - therefore asking a question about the .... umm .... MN website itself Grin

FruVikingessOla · 29/09/2014 17:20

whoohooo

Does anyone remember the Wolefs? Grin

Zombie does, Fru.

One might almost have thought he was mansplaining

OP posts:
FruVikingessOla · 29/09/2014 19:23

I expect you're correct WoTmania!

NetworkGuy (upthread), who is a guy, hasn't mansplained ... because he doesn't do things like that.

Perhaps it's something to do with the Canadian sense of humour, eh?
