Your's works? FireD00d is trying to figure out why some of us with IE7 don't get it anymore at all. NADA. Zilch. Just a blank space up there.

With all the snow you been getting Neal tried to make you feel better.....could have at least change it to some where warmer than Marlborough, MA! [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

Fortunately mine works. But, since I don't believe in coincidences, if you're getting Marlborough, Mass than Neal is futzing about with something. That is casa Naitram.

And mine, that has been working great, just went away. Why, I ask? Why? I really liked that little tidbit of information. Not that I can't get it elsewhere, I can. But I was kinda used to it.

I've installed my weather banner and I changed the place.
But I've the weather of Glasgow, UK.
I wish to receive the weather from Lyon, France.
I click on the link "click for forecast", I choose my area but it's not on my banner.
How must I make for to valid my selection and to have it on my banner ?

Thanks

Yes she left... we took her to the Denver airport and waited 1 hour on line just to get her boarding pass. Got her to the gate with 5 minutes to spare. A tearful goodby BUT my son and his family are going to move back to Colorado as soon as he finds a job here. San Diego, while a nice place, is too expensive and too far away from family (which is ALL in Colorado Springs).
BTW, I now have a 6 ft snowbank in front of my house. No riding for a while!

Snow looks unbelievable in TV news reports, some towns not even dug out.

Be safe, looks nasty out there.

Thanks Rjob749,

It's not exactly right but it was a good way. Now, I've the same weather on my screen and throught my window ! [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

For those interested :
After the validation of the query concerning your place, you have it on the screen.
Just after the "astronomy" window, you have "Free Weather Stickers® for Your Homepage!" window.
You click on "Get Your Weather Sticker! " button.
Copy the HTML code on the resulting page and you write on paper the last number, for example :
http://english.wunderground.com/geo/BannerPromo/global/stations/[highlight]07480[/highlight].html

Then you copy this number in this HTML code for non US member it should look like this [highlight]http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/[highlight]~~03140~~[/highlight].html[/highlight]
The number is your place.

You copy this HTML code with the new number in your wundergroundstation of your profile.
Normaly, it run ! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Thanks again Rjob749, it was a pleasure !

It's the same procedure :
After the validation of the query concerning your place, you have it on the screen.
Just after the "astronomy" window, you have "Free Weather Stickers® for Your Homepage!" window.
You click on "Get Your Weather Sticker! " button.
Copy the HTML code on the resulting page and you write on paper the end of this code :
http://www.wunderground.com/geo/BannerPromo/[highlight]US/AR/Batesville[/highlight].html

Then you copy this end in this HTML code for US member it should look like this

That's actually an interesting difference. Privately and here publicly a few here have recently had some trouble with the weather banner. Perhaps the provider just dropped some individual city coverages for offerings more regional?

I think the actual issue was the specific URL. When I just got mine working I noticed that different sytles of display were listed to choose from. I suspect the old URL we were using just wasn't valid anymore (in certain instances).

naitram · « **Reply #32 on:** January 02, 2007, 02:49:10 PM »

the URL you use is not for the actual banner. its the URL you would use to get your forecast i derive the banner source from that

I've sended a mail to "WeatherUnderground".

The answer is :
When it's sunny, the sun is full Orange.
The borders are Black.
In this case, we have the B/O of SE. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]
Not more is possible !!!!

It's not that the city has been dropped I can force the appropiate HTML code in editor and get it to preview. It's really weird, and probably will be something simple when it's figured out. I've looked at three different computers w/IE 7 on it, w/only one of the three showing the banner. Tried to change/duplicate my settings to see if there was something there causing the problem still no go. In the laptop that was showing it I deleted the call for the weather banner in profile then tried putting it back, and only way I could get the banner to show up on that laptop again was put it in the second weather banner spot at bottom of page.

For those of you that are getting it now, I wouldn't mess w/it. Conisider yourself lucky.

No - I heard on the TV this morning that it is going to be 68 degrees and Warm on this upcoming Saturday - but no quick weather at the top of the screen.

I am sure it is user error - but I made no changes, so don't know what happened.
