  1. The feedback window decided to annoy me by popping up by itself.

  2. I figured I might as well complain about the weather radar taking more clicks to access the information I want.

  3. The feedback window broke because the BOM site now relies on scripts from Google's reCAPTCHA service which my browser blocks by default. Yes, I know this is mostly on me, but it was just the icing on the cake.

With the old radars I had to lookup my longitude and latitude for where we lived to find it on the fixed radar image, now it just centers the map on us on the forecast page.

That complaint really just come off as "change is bad" to me.

Edit: My one complaint is that they didn't map the URLs of the old forecast pages to the new ones, so if you load a bookmark or history item you get a 404 page with suggestions, rather than a redirect.
