 It is still difficult for a Cumulus 1 user to work out the disadvantages of leaving Cumulus 1. There are some obvious advantages in moving to MX, there are a lot of extra new features, there is ongoing support in the forum, and there is prospect of more improvements in the future. Cumulus 1 will never be enhanced.
-=== Images ===
+=== The look for web site  ===
- Although MX now generates a Moon image, it does not generate all the chart images (replaced by graph drawing from json data) nor the wind images that Cumulus 1 generated.
+Cumulus 1, and later Cumulus MX versions - generate a moon image that can use FTP to place it on your web site.
+Cumulus 1 generated a number of chart images. MX generates a number of JSON files with data for graphs instead.
+The "bird" image used as a background on standard web pages is still provided with MX.
+The actual web pages provided in MX fulfil same range of outputs as Cumulus 1, but these are not interchangeable. The Trends page of Cumulus 1 will not work as that simply displayed uploaded images, the MX charts page that replaces it uses HighStock to draw graphs from the data pairs in the uploaded JSON files. The old gauges page is replaced by Steel Series gauges.
