Hey Jorge,

I am having trouble with the weather module. It shows the next four (4) days OK (Sun, temputure high-low, etc...)...but on the fifth day (last one on right) it show a "?" in the sun symbol and has N/A and N/A in the temputure areas ??? It doens't matter what day of the week it is, its the last one shown ??

That's 'normal'. It means that, for some reason, the MSDN weather feed is not working for your TWC weather code location and it has fallen back on using the Google weather feed instead.

Only snag is that the Google weather feed only supports a 4 day forecast, and that is why the 5th day shows as N/A.

This said, can you please post a screenshot of your Weather settings panel here?

Hey Jorge,

I think these are the settings you wanted a copy of ?

thanks,

Landon

Why don't you just upload the JPG picture itself?

Well, yep, I checked it here and MSN is returning nothing for that location. You can see for yourself:

http://weather.msn.com/RSS.aspx?wealoca ... c:USFL0040

As such, the Weather module automatically falls back to the Google feed, which only gives a 4 day forecast.

Replace USFL0040 with USFL0041 above if you want to see what a valid weather feed would look like.

No idea why MSN is not giving weather conditions for Boca Raton, FL. Could be permanent, could be temporary, only they would know.

Hey Jorge,

Must be something about this area in Florida, because I tried several city's nearby and they all have the same problem.

Thank you for your help...keep up the good work.

Take care...Landon
