V14.00p78 - No 5-day icons or forecast info
« on: May 13, 2009, 01:33:57 AM »
I just downloaded the current version of VWS in preparation for moving everything to my new Acer netbook. When installed it shows as being v14.00p78 (Help | About).

I immediately noticed that my Current Conditions Icon isn't showing (just a red-x) and the 5-day Forecast icons also have a red-x. The forecast icons are not showing either. The hi/low values are blank too.

I'm not about to go back to the old version I was running (v14.00p40) just yet but am wondering if it's just my installation or is anyone else having a similar problem with the p78 version of VWS? Since this was an upgrade installation from p40 to p78, I may have a setting set incorrectly but if so, I haven't found it as yet.

Anyway, it's late and I'm going to bed. Have to get up early to do some volunteer work so won't have time to work on VWS until the afternoon.

I do not think this has something to do with your upgrade.

check to ensure that the reference is correct, http://icons.wunderground.com/graphics/conds/---.GIF, as you could see there is no name on the icon

Nothing wrong with the icon urls, they are in your htx files, and upgrading vws should not affect those.
page is showing correct path... "http://icons.wunderground.com/graphics/conds/...."

It looks like your metar that you download conditions/forecast got wiped.

All your graphics are showing up as "http://icons.wunderground.com/graphics/conds/---.GIF"

So its either that vws does not know the conditions/forecast of your metar and is outputting --- because it does not, or there is something wrong with that beta...others will report I assume, if so.

Andrew was right - the Metar settings got wiped. All returned to normal once I entered the correct data.

Thanks for the help! It's been a while since I worked on the internals of VWS and I'm a little rusty...
