Hello again.....
well when I updated jerry's file's recently to the newest versions, I purposely omitted the header.php file because for one I didnt think it would effect anything and for 2...I originally edited his header with the code to display his customized banner in main head section, and time of day greeting on subheader.
so now that I did as Ken mentioned and added the newest header with the included code above needed for when no cron, everything is working Wonderful again for the NWS Alerts.
Thank you for the Help...Much Apprectted....Chris
