Hi,

It would be cool, if on the "Solar Flares" x-ray chart there would be a small mouseover-image from SDO AIA 094 (or 131) for each time period, so we could instantly see from which region a flare is.

I don't know if that is technically possible, but I thought it would be nice.

Thanks

It's difficult to do that, we would need a very huge server to get all those images on there as well  
At least there are several ways to know from which region a flare originated from, not only AIA 094 but also GOES SUVI 094 and PROBA. Once SWPC assigns a flare we update our tables and charts with the flare and region. 

But, i forgot about something  in our alerts, when there is a strong solar flare > M1 we do try to auto-detect the source and if we have a match it will be stated in our alerts (app+twitter+site).

I like the idea but from a practical stand point it's pretty much impossible for us to do such a thing. As Sander mentioned, the flare location will be updated to the solar flare list when the NOAA SWPC publishes the info and we do try to automatically detect the location of strong solar flares. Here is an example of 2017 

 

You wouldn't need to save it on your server, they are accessible from the nasa server by a convenient file name format, for example:
https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/assets/img/browse/2020/10/26/20201026_000520_512_0131.jpg

But I don't know if it would load fast enough into the highcharts mouseover, or break the layout entirely 😁

Here's a whopper X17.2+ solar flare from the archives on this day (Oct 28) in 2003.  For this special event there was no doubt manual collection and collating of data from multiple sources to create this excellent composite video.

Thanks. Yes, we made videos like this for most of the X-class flares in the archive. This video uses SOHO EIT and LASCO footage.

Sander knows much more than me on this but I think this isn't easy to implement due to the dynamic URL names.

Hello, dear @Vancanneyt Sander and @Marcel de Bont! We have mixed feelings from time to time from each other's posts, but there is no corresponding Emoji. I would like to suggest adding another one to the existing ones: "Thinking Face Emoji" 🤔. It would be a neutral Emoji without accruing or deducting points, but hinting that you need to think about this or that post.

See what I did there 🤣🙃

😄 It's like he's inside another emoji. Thank you for your quick response, I've already implemented it on the participants 😂

Very clever Idea @Samrau

And solution @Vancanneyt Sander

Probably should have been reserved for the moderators because it opens a wide door of possibilities for interpretation. But still funny imo

We have more unpleasant emojis: "Confused" and "Dislike", which deduct points. @Rudolph likes to give me "Confused", but I'm not trying to get back at him 😂 "Thinking Face" is neutral. What feelings could possibly outweigh the negative impact of these two? If someone perceives "Thinking Face" in a negative way, then they have a perception problem. They might perceive a "Like" as mockery. I just wanted to see an emoji that would tell you to think about the idea behind a post.

Moreover, our participants are educated and well-mannered, possessing high emotional intelligence. They know their limits and don't escalate the situation when a dialogue even slightly attempts to become aggressive. Just look at our interactions – everything takes place in a friendly atmosphere. This probably rarely happens on forums. Cosmic Weather is simply wonderful, and it's surrounded by kind people who appreciate nature and its beauty; there's simply no room for hatred and malice here.

But from a distance, Emoji looks like he's picking his nose 😅

I am, of course in full agreement with you on those facts. We have had some particularly bad moments in the past, but only rarely do egos get involved here. We’re all human and subject to misperceptions too. The primary reason I am here and have minimal interactions with social media are those reasons you stated. You’re right he does look like he’s picking his nose. 🤣🤣
