Fixed Flare region missing?

[Calter]

Is it just me or is the flare region polygon not showing up?

I noticed that yesterday, but simply put it down to the geometry/date-time I had set up.

Fixed. The flare region code had somehow entirely disappeared when I did a large refactoring of the Night Sky code. Now restored to its janky glory.

Still not visible on the setup I had last night, so I pulled up two older sitches that have the flare region, and it's still missing from those.

Can you post a sitch link?

I just reloaded the sitch. I'm guessing you just fixed it?

It was fixed when I posted. Occasionally, people have to refresh the page to see the changes.

Odd, I did open a new browser window (Edge) to look at the old sitches (because I found Firefox sucks for video playback). That's some caching it must have been doing!

Yeah, it really shouldn't be caching, as there's a new name for the .js app each time, but it might somehow be caching the index.html. Maybe Cloudflare.

Probably it's just people using an already-opened older version without refreshing.

That's partly why I ask for full-screen screenshots, to verify the version and build time in the top right.

Yeah, I saw the pinned post about screenshots. I'll make sure I put all the relevant info in future.

The flare region works now

Btw, the "Flare Region Look View" check box doesn't load the flare region when opening a saved sitrec (you have to tick and untick for it to work)

It seems to work with this one:

Can you post the one where it does not work?

 

[Calter]

It doesn't work for me on your link,

Here's another link where it doesn't work for me (though I'll clarify this has never worked for me, maybe it's just a me issue)

Something does appear off. Here's a peculiar one where the flare region is way off. Using Microsoft Edge, ensured all caches were cleared, restarted the browser and logged back in to MB.
