    Yes, Thanks for that information.  I probably should check that stuff once in a while! Embarassed Rolling Eyes

You and me both!   Laughing

While I was at it I turned all my current installed placefiles on with a check mark to see if they updated just in case I missed changing any others.

Is the new URL working for anyone else? I changed mine, but just checked the placefile manager and it's RED.


PS- I learned about this by following the AllisonHouse tweets.

Yes, it's working for me. Shows current time for the update.  Sure your not looking at the old file and the new one is at the bottom of the list?

No, I deleted the old one first. My Local Storm Reports was also RED. After deleting the lightning link again, I restarted the software and added the new URL.
Everything seems to be working again!

Thanks for the notification!  Luckily I randomly decided to take a quick look to the board and happen to see this....I probably would not have noted the change until an actually a t-storm came around and I notice no lightning data.

By the way, I needed to restart GrLevel3 before the change took effect also...

Thanks again...

Not sure if it was a temporary glitch, but I had to update the placefile again.
