and save yourself uninstalling and reinstalling WP 17 times like I did. Apparently Marsware website is gone for good, along with the server connections that lets us update WP. But!! some kind person yesterday wrote a work around that works perfectly.

Here is the link that shows the problems:
WeatherPanel :: View topic - System Outage Again?

and here is the link to the correction .cab :
WeatherPanel :: View topic - WP-Auth - Weather Panel Authorization

Jeez, do you still have to pay for it?

I wonder if they used the same as PocketWeather v.98 freeware. This old free version stopped working for me a while ago, and it has for others also. Must have used the same server.

Pay for what, I'm not sure what you mean. I already purchased WP and as far as I know even the trial versions will work after you use this workaround patch. But for the most part WP won't update with weather.com unless you install that .cab patch.

I've been using WP for a long time, and it stopped updating a few days ago!

The patch worked like a charm! ;) It just redirects the authorization server to a new host, which Storyr (a long time WP supporter) have provided for us!

Now back in business.... :)

Thanks Purcy. Worked perfectly. I got worried when it stopped updating a couple of days ago.

Thanks for this! Fixed me up.

I went to the links in the first post, but I'm having trouble finding the download in them. Were they removed?

You have to register (free) to see downloads.

That's what I figured, so I registered and I still can't see them. Is it because I registered after the site went down?

BTW, I've owned Weatherpanel for a long time, and even thought I was registered for the formums, but I couldn't log in so I had to re-register. I hate to post these questions there, because I feel silly that I'm having so much trouble following their directions. I always get the best directions here from you kind folks at Aximsite.

Also the first fix has been discontinued as the persons server was taking quite a hit. He has posted a new and even better solution here:

WeatherPanel :: View topic - Authorization/Moon Phase DLL Update!

Please remember that you have to register with the forum to see the downloads.

Just Jen

Woops, sorry folks, now I'm actually fully re-registered. I had to follow through with an email they sent to complete the authorization. I will try again.

You probably were registered at the official Marsware forum, unfortunately that forum died over a year ago, the developer went missing over two years ago. The site linked to is not associated with Marsware in any way, its just a group of people who love Weatherpanel and try to support the continuing users.

Just Jen

Thanks Ken, as now I understand that this is a different forum. Cool!

I clicked the download and followed the read me instructions and extracted the Weatherpanel.dll file into my ppc. I put it in the main program file which in my case is:
cf card/MarsWare WeatherPanel
and I still don't have something right because I still can't download new weather. Do you think the problem relates to where I have this stored? Or do you think I need to put the .dll file into one of the sub folders instead, which names are:
data
Icons
themes
instead of just keeping it in the main WeatherPanel folder?

Since this is a today plugin when you install WP to a card it also installs the basic program in main memory. Look for something like

Program Files/Marsware/WeatherPanel

in your main memory and replace the dll there and everything should work fine.
