broken weather docklet

mmm, you've set your zip code?

oh, the WC-Help section might get more direct responses, just a thought..

Been broken for days now.
Apparently some setting changed at weather.com and now the docklet is hosed until the .dll is edited to fix the problem.

I ended up just removing mine. I got sysmetrix which can do weather among other things.

If you want to remove your docklet as well, all you have to do is just drag it off the doc. You'll get the "poof" graphics and then it's gone.

Someone provided a fixed dll on the objectdock newsgroup. Its not an official one though. I'm not sure why it hasn't been picked up by Stardock to distribute. But my weather docklet works just fine now.

i put the fixed dll link up on another post

http://merchant-creations.com/junk/WeatherDocklet.dll

That is the old fixed one. It now appears to be broken once again even with that dll sher.

Same here...I'm wondering if weather.com is blocking it for bandwidth issues?

Same here also. Was happy it was working again after I got the fixed dll, now its back to that dreaded question mark.

Same here, had it fixed before by editing the script and change the links from www.weather.com to beta.weather.com (see ama02's thread in WC-help). Now neither of the entries work. I support the opinion that this is done deliberately by weather.com.

yeah it looks like they've changed it, is any one smart enough to change it to accuweather? trillian's plugin is set to them and i haven't seen a problem yet with it....

Hmmm. AccuWeather. I'll add it to my list of things to do.

There's another fixed dll on the newsgroups. news.stardock.com stardock.objectdock newsgroup
thread name...weather docklet n/a again?
reply from Eric Guess has dll attached

Thanks for the info. on the new .dll. It works fine again.

Hmm, I don't see that newsgroup on nyc road runner. can someone maybe post it to stardock.od.windows.general or email it to me at phoneline@aol.com?

Thanks.

Nevermind....figured out that I had to add that new server in to see it.....duh on me
