yeah, I should have tried it last night when I was looking at it...

I tried it this morning - it seemed not to let me delete it. I was able to rename it to x but weather didn't care. So I went ahead and stopped sense, got rid of x and started sense back up and weather apparently started itself up just fine and created a new one... Oh well!

Three West is right. I messed with this for the better part of a day before realizing Conflipper was down. For me, I just uninstalled the Conflipper cab (Conflipper_North_America_Weather_V5.cab). You'll have to re-populate your favorite weather cities list, but otherwise, you are good to go!

I tried eric's trick and it didn't work.

Then I remembered if you run JVH weather city editor you can change servers. I had switched to conflipper because not2advanced was so unreliable in the past. I switched back to not2advanced and I've got weather again.

it ALWAYS works for me,don't know what ur doin wrong. maybe its ur weather city editor,i don't use that because I just use the location feature.

Yeah, I'm a tad confused by this as my weather always works...

did just as you said, but that wasn't my issue.

I switched away from the conflipper server and my weather is back, so apparently (as BullyDawg agreed) conflipper's down again.

can we use a different site with conflipper mod? anyone else ever make weather mod? THIS SUX. closest city to me is 150 miles away, according to freaking stock weather app.

I never used conflipper just cause I didn't care for the shotgun approach.
I use the "weather city editor" by JVH3. You have to manually enter the towns you want, but now I get to choose what weather server I wish to use.

there's no need for that since there is the my location feature.

well there certainly is if you want to know the weather in a city that's not in the limited stock database. The nearest city in the database was over 100 miles away from my home location.

as i stated before... the server thats used to update the weather is the issue here... those weathere database editors use different servers. thats why some people have the issue and some dont.
