CYYZ feed posting request

The CYYZ feed suddenly started showing "please post a message if you saw this" - here's the message confirming I did.

If it's any help, I also noticed when the display started showing the METAR briefly on Monday night.

Well, that's one...   We were trying it out on some of the popular feeds, and when no one said anything I figured a more suggestive message would help.   Thanks...   Anyone else??

I saw the metars several days ago and intended to post thanking you guys for adding this, but kept forgetting to do so.  It's nice!

I haven't seen it (but I haven't been bopping around the feeds this week), but as the feeder of SYR  I would be interested in knowing if this is possible with SYR's feed.  Is there a specific hardware or software requirement needed to do this?

I SEE THIS too and am confirming.

The METAR was great, but noticed it got old/stale and wasn't updated for a bit.  :)

It was just something we tried to see if anyone noticed it.  Now that some people have, we'll put it on the technical to-do list, assuming there aren't any show stoppers.

In all fairness, this isn't our original work.  It was seen elsewhere, and seemed like a great idea.
