Suppress earthquake feed warning #343

Open ehunter-usgs opened 6 years ago

ehunter-usgs commented 6 years ago

This ticket is mainly to start a discussion.

With the increase in seismic activity near Hawaii, we have been getting lots of emails from users suggesting that we allow users to suppress the warning that viewing more than 2,000 earthquakes may cause problems.

I agree that the warning is annoying (it interrupts the user flow), but any form of implementation to address the problem would raise additional questions. Do we show the warning again for feeds above 3,000 earthquakes? how about above 4,000 earthquakes? I personally know I cannot view the "7 Days, All Magnitudes U.S." feed (my browser locks up).

Also, do we use cookies or localStorage anywhere on our site to store user session data? It looks like according to USGS Privacy Policy we can store cookies as long as we do not store PII.

I think we can bump this up to 2500 at least so people do not get that warning on the feed. Right now we have 2370 in it...
