Hi all.
I had OD running for over one and a half years now and the weather docklet always worked. Since Thursday or Friday it only displays "Weather Information not Available". Is there somenthing wrong with weather.com?
I see the V1.9 of the freeware Objectdock still does not work for cities like Oslo, Norway and Stockholm, Sweden.
How far away is the new version where weatherdock works?
The free version does work but certain servers on AccuWeather are simply not available to it. You likely can pick locations near where you are trying to set it to and it will respond to one of them. This isn't guaranteed of course but it is likely. version 2.0 is still under development but no release date has been set yet. We will announce more as the information comes to us.
My weather dock no longer shows the correct temperature. It logs in and can open Accuweather, but does not show the same information as the weather page on the web. I am using the free version.
Same here. I am in Canada and it shows that the temp is -1 as it is -18. When I double click it says local weather not available yet I can get to accuweather by clicking the link in dock properties/options. I have used this for a while and no problems till I saw this thread. Is there a way to change the weather server to a different weather provider?
What locations are you using for the docklet? Have you tired the fix that is posted above?
same here, the weather info has not updated for about 3 days. Today is Tuesday and the weather flyout is still showing wed through sun.
It seems to be connecting but just not updating the information. I changed the zip code and it returns the same incorrect time span of information for a different location.
17dec08 Starting work for me also. Thanks!
I tried the version of the dll above and I get the same result. I am in Austin, Texas. I have used Austin, and my zip code and I get an eroneous result. If I use a nearby city or town, I get no result at all. This was working perfectly until a little over a week ago. It is the same on all of my computers.
Well, after a bit of hacking, it seems the weather docklet uses a custom StarDockWeather OCX to access the weather from SDCENTRAL.NET, as opposed to accuweather directly. I guess this is to minimize the traffic to accuweather. The weather docklet does correctly show the weather as SDCENTRAL.NET shows it, HOWEVER SDCENTRAL.NET doesn't seem to be updating from accuweather anymore. Somebody at StarDock wanna fix this before all my customers complain?

Please fix!!! It's looking pretty silly with my computer saying 45 deg and it is freezing rain and 28 outside! It just started working. Same weather as on the accuweather web page.
I've had some problems with the dock giving the "No Information Available" message when I pull my laptop out of standby. However, if I right click and choose update it always starts right up. Otherwise, I'm not sure.
Hang a sock on the clothesline, and each morning, just check the sock..
If it's dry, it's warm outside.
If it's wet, it's raining.
If it's singed, there's lightening.
If it has holes in it, it's hailing
