Weather Dock "Feed not available"

from Stardock Forums

As of this morning the docklet is claiming that the feed is not available.  I have vista 64 and it WAS working for weeks but now I cannot seem to get it to populate.  Any ideas?

I have tried different ZIPs, no zip and instead using the written out town name, same result.

On my other computer (XP 32) it works fine!

I have this aswell. "Feed not available" in the Weather Docklet. I've never been able to get it working properly. I can get Trondheim, Bergen and even Alta (which is pretty far away from where I sit) but not the capital city of my country, Oslo?? Any suggestions?

Running Vista Ultimate 32-bit.

as i posted in my thread on this matter, the new beta of OD fixes the problem...Oslo works no prob.  If you have OD Plus, you can install Impulse and click on the orb in upper left to open the preferences...check show pre-release versions and then you can download the beta.

My weather icon is reporting "feed not available" also. This is version 1.90 build 536. Started sometime this week, not sure when. Running on Vista x64.

Thanks; didn't know there was an update to the applet. Mine was often not getting the feed, so hopefully this will alleviate the problem.

Lately I've been getting this almost every day which is far more often than usual. Restarting OD did nothing so I just replaced the ocx file again,which fixed it for now. The docklet has been working well up to sometime last week. Nothing has changed on my rig,so it may be an Accuweather issue.

I didnt either., I used a year old datafile to fix it.

No documentation of current solutions.. but it worked anyway.

 

They need to put that fix into production.

The beta he is referring to was pulled a while back due to various bugs, and is no longer available.
