Ihave been sitting on the code for over a year waiting for the day that arrived earlier in the week. I explained the details of the fix a few posts ago.
Anyways, I implimented my fix on a server to verify it worked. I sent the files to venusware.net, not sure if the venusware.net owner wants to be known so I'll just say thanks!! He and I both tested it and it works too. So here it is. I believe Storyr will be creating new cabs and posting them on this thread. For those of you who dont want to wait just disable your weatherpanel plugin, which is probably already disabled, and replace the weatherpanel.dll with this one. Its located in your Program Files/ Marsware/Weatherpanel directory.

The only thing I ask in return is for you to hit the green thanks button.
I have left a "thanks" for you.

Awesome job thinking ahead.
Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
How difficult was the fix?
