A lot of us here on the forum use a script from Anole Computer Services (Larry); Wx Graphics.

My signature line uses this script, is this what you are looking for?

Hope this helps get you started.

Yes that is exactly the script I am looking for thanks for the info.
I tried going to Anole's script download page but it brought back an internal error.
I am going to contact them and see if there is any way I can access those scripts to use.

Thanks, web site is a result of the fine work from a lot of smart and talented people here.

Larry with Anole Computers was very helpful to me in getting my banner together.  Let us know if you don’t hear from him.  I can most likely find the original script package and get it to you.  I’m sure it is squirreled off on a backup hard drive.  :grin:

I have wanted a weather website for FOREVER. I started out with a website builder package and wordpress. Had no clue what I was doing, never wrote a line of code in my life. Few months ago stumbled upon Saratoga-Weather and through a tremendous amount of trial and error and most importantly the gracious help offered by people in this forum I was able to get exactly what I wanted. Thanks to Jim, and everyone else that has lent a hand and their scripts very cool what you guys do and offer to the public. And thanks again Otis.

I have recently migrated to Cumulus from Weather link and it was a pretty easy and seamless transition other than the fact that I lost the data for my graphic.

Has anyone made a template to work with cumulus or could maybe offer some pointers?

I love having the graphic and would really like to get it up and running again if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

Clicking on your website icon below your forum avatar and it looks good.  However if the version of Cumulus you are using is as noted at the bottom I suggest you update to the current v.1.9.4 b.1099 http://sandaysoft.com/downloads.  Very easy and several improvements made since v.1.9.0

Re graphics, not sure what specifically you are looking for. 

Enjoy,
Paul

That is all old data from 09:00 when I changed over to cumulus. I have searched a couple forums now and have not come up with a sollution.

I am using the most current version of cumulus however forgot to update the version number on my website. taking care of that now thank you!
