Weather.com's TruPoint sucks (3)

Weather.com recently changed some portions of their website, making things worse and at times, unusable. I'm a fan of the hourly forecast because it gives a good indication of when certain weather events will start or stop. Up until recently, I could search for a zip code and click the "Hour-by-Hour" link to get weather predictions for the next several hours. But apparently when I wasn't looking, this thing called TruPoint stepped into the picture, creating not only an "Overview" section that shows a graph of hourly weather conditions (cool but not what I want) but also a "Details" section that reports weather in 15 minute intervals. I don't want weather updates in 15 minute intervals. It's stupid. Weather conditions generally don't change that fast, and weather predictions are usually wrong anyway. Of course there's no easy way to disable this "feature" except by clicking some poorly-placed links that merely collapse the 15-minute intervals for the selected hour. Weather.com, if you're listening, please know that TruPoint sucks. Thank you. #technology

I agree! I used to use weather.com exclusively. I had to move to accuweather because of that 15 minute crap!! I have been googling trying to figure out if there was a way to permanently disable it so I dont have to turn it off every time I go to the site. Someone start a poll on weather.com. Who needs 15 min weather?! An hour is the perfect interval. that graph is crap because it only shows temperature. what about precipitation!! come on weather.com if it aint broke dont fix it.
