:cool: This is actually a nifty little program for people that may not have the ability to create something on their own...I am watching the progress of this but as you can tell, I am a die hard Samurize guy but still have interest since it pertains to weather...

[darkmark327]

Apparently weather.com changed the radar again and as such, the last image of each animation will be old. Summary of the problem is that basically they used to have 6 images for each animation, 1L to 6L, although their animated radar on the website only had 5, 1L to 5L. Now they've stopped updating the 6L image (as of March 2nd) so that one image is stale. I will release 2.3.0.3 as soon as I can. There are a few other small things I need to do to it first, for which I haven't had time.

haha, i was wondering why all the clouds disappeared .

also i dont know if you did this on purpose or if they changed it.. but right now the 'forecast at weather.com' link (for me) points to.. http://www.weather.com/weather/local/44243#tenday for the ten day forecast. but thats not the ten day, its just the main page for that zip. and once your there you still have to click a link to go to the ten day forecast, which takes you to http://www.weather.com/activities/other/ot...tml?locid=44243 .

so maybe you should just use that 2nd link instead?

unless you dont want it to go to the ten day and just want it to go to the main page like it does then ignore me. it just had #tenday in the url and i thought you wanted it to load the ten day forecast.

i hope that made sense. :laugh:

#tenday used to work but it evidentally no longer does; I suppose I'll fix that too.

Sorry for the delay in replying..

I'm running on 1024 X 768. And, I have the program set to load in the upper left hand corner. I'll make you a deal..lol I'm installing it again (as I've just installed a new hard drive and upgraded to XP Pro.. I was on Windows 2000 when I had these errors). If I have the problem now, what I will do is create a video of what I'm seeing, and send that to you (or post it here). That way, you can see exactly what steps I'm taking to get to this error.

There shouldn't be any difference between 2K and XP.

Tons of schoolwork, so no time to work on the program. (I could deal with the 3 computer science projects or various complexities, the novel I had to read, and the short story I have to write, all due at various points in the next two weeks, but the 10 page folk music research paper is the lead pipe that is breaking the proverbial camel's back).

[darkmark327]

2.3.0.3 is out. I think it fixes about 90% of the errors I have received except for some very odd, bizarre ones that I cannot even begin to find the solutions for.

[AGMW]

Excellent work as always. Rest assured your work is appreciated very much. :yes:

Good luck with your projects and finals; it is that time of year again <sarcasm>and as a fellow university student I look forward to it too<sarcasm>.

[SkyyPunk Veteran]

yes, thanks for the updates! and i too understand end of year pains... i have to take all of my exams early too because of winhec taking place during finals...

[darkmark327]

Well I have a 10 page paper to do on folk music, and I've already written 20 pages of other papers for it so far. In addition to reading probably 100 pages or so a week (these readings need to be cited in the weekly 4 page paper, of which we've had 5 so far and now of course the big research paper). Basically these required seminars have a general topic (this one is "The Arts and Society") and the teacher picks the specific topic and how to run the course. I was talking to a friend and when he took it last year apparently it was a drama teacher because they merely had to do 2 performances.

This is in addition to three comp. sci. classes with projects to do.

[Oblivion]

Best of luck to u for ur projects :)

[darkmark327]

Apparently I broke the forecast in the last release...oops. I've fixed it, so those of you who have the flawed 2.3.0.3 can auto-update again to 2.3.0.4.

[Runelord]

Still won't work for me (freezes when I start up the program, says its updating the program..) :cry:

Great program, thank you for the hard work!

[Daylene]

Using it on windows ME, very nice program! I' loving, please continue to work on it, and if you need any help, please pm me :)

Btw, is there any way to add an option so it starts at boot in the next release?

You might try manually downloading the new executable and replacing the old one.

lol I wish people would at least look at the settings before asking for 'new' ones. It's right on there on the first pane! (and has been implemented since the first release)

This may have been suggested already, but have you thought of using the public domain weather information instead of using Weather.com? That way you could take off the Weather.com logo and save some space. Since every taxpayer can use the data freely. Just an idea.

That'd be a good idea. Btw, sorry about asking for the on-boot option, I did go into p[refs, but it was late at night and I was tired. Didn't see it :\

Yes it has, and my reply is, 'find me a free one that is as data-rich aaccessible/i> a data source as weather.com is'

[JRosenfeld]

Also remember those of us who are not in N America: Weather.com does provide weather info for many places in Europe and elsewhere, I don't suppose public domain sites would have such a wide coverage.

It has a name, I can't remember what it is. I've been there before, it has tons and tons of data. Where do you think Weather.com gets there information? They don't have enough money for national wide radars and weather stations across the country. They get it from the NOAA. Everyone does. Hamweather (http://www.hamweather.com) is a good example of using public domain information, all the information on there is from public domain servers. I'll continue to look for that URL.

You're kidding right? :rolleyes:

Ever heard of "The Weather Channel"?

[MidnightDevil]
