Consider this the official "this thing is broken" thread. If the graphic looks weird to you, leave a comment with the device/browser you're using (include the version), and maybe include a screenshot. Read more

Upon side-by-side review, I think you're probably right. Read more

They're getting hot (vs. cold)! I had it reversed initially, but it was reading weird to me. Here's a special chart for you:

Well to be fair, I was supposed to have this done by last Friday. Read more
