mmm, you've set your zip code?

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.

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....
