FRED Blog's May 1, 2014 post

Screen cap:



Nothing fancy, but not bad.

Anyway I wanted to fiddle with their graph, so I clicked "Customize" there at the bottom left corner of the FRED graph... the ALFRED graph.



Got an error!





So I hovered the mouse over the "Customize" text, right-clicked, and copied the link address:

http://alfred.stlouisfed.org/fred2/graph/?g=wUh

The last three characters on the right (wUh) identifies the graph. The rest of the link gets you to it. I figured they identified the graph correctly, but just put the wrong path somehow. So I made my own ALFRED graph, copied the link address, pasted it into a textfile and changed the last three letters to wUh:

http://alfred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=wUh

That works.

I clicked the "Customize" link at the bottom left corner of the graph.
I got an error message and this form to send you email.

The "Customize" link that gives an error:

http://alfred.stlouisfed.org/fred2/graph/?g=wUh

The link should be:

http://alfred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=wUh

Give 'em hell. :)
