I've been telling everybody I know that they ought to use this site to track their energy usage but now the energy use figures have disappeared there's not much point to it.

I have found it really useful when doing a carbon footprint online to be able to login to imeasure and get the latest data but now it has all gone.

Also, I need to contact my electricity supplier to tell them to reduce my monthly direct debit to match my actual usage (they're currently charging far more than they should) - but that data has disappeared too.

Our gas meter is outside - so when it's dark and raining it is handy to be able to leave taking a reading until the next day. Putting in a reading say three days late will really distort the figures by making the graph jump by 50% - destroying the whole point of the energy tracking. If my energy use jumped by 50% on a normal week I'd make pretty sure I found out what was going wrong (something left on or malfunctioning?) but without this ability there's no way of telling.

Oh dear - where has everything gone??? There's no drop-down to indicate if you took the reading a day or more later than usual - which will distort the results.

And all the tables of information on the results page have disappeared - where's the amount of electricity used this week/month/quarter or the same for gas? Where is the running total of energy used (I'm nearly coming up to 1 year of use and was hoping to have the statistics).

Everything apart from the graph and the energy rating has disappeared! Is this intentional or an accident???

Having an extra column for average over the last year would be handy.

I'm coming up to completing my first year so being able to compare energy use with last year would also be good.

It would be good if the energy rating could be based on UK average domestic energy use rather than just the average of the imeasurers. The imeasurers are committed to reducing energy use so are likely to have lower than average energy use. This can mean a discouragingly low rating that isn't deserved!

If there is a record of domestic gas and /or electricity consumption this would be handy to include on the graph so we can see where we are in comparison to everyone else.

Thanks for a really useful service...

Thanks very much for the reply. I guess that part of the issue at the moment may be that the people using it are likely to be interested in reducing their carbon footprint and so may have lower usage than the general population.

I'll keep taking the measurements and look forwards to seeing if the solar panel we're hoping to have installed soon will have any effect. imeasure should make it easier to see this.
