OD weather is showing incorrect...

External Link
November 21, 2007 12:03:58 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
As you will see with the screenshot link, the weather icon is showing the wrong information. The date is Wednesday, but the display is showing "today" "tomorrow" "thursday" and so on.... Tomorrow IS Thursday. Great, now I don't know if it is cold outside... wait a sec... I could just walk outside and forget all of this techno crap! Then again, what would be the fun in that? Any ideas fellas?

What version are you using and where are you located?
What is the location of the weather you want?

At first you want to say "be sure your sys is showing the right date and time". Silly, of course it is.

Have you tried right clicking on the weather docklet and updating? Silly, sure you have.

Have you tried deleting the weather docklet from the dock then reinstalling it?

This is about all I can think of.

I'm seeing a similar weirdness. It's probably AccuWeather's fault though, not the docklet (see my other post). For me (note that it is Wednesday right now) the forecast shows Tonight, Tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. What happened to Friday?

I don't know about CarGuy1, but mine is fixed. I shut down and booted back up at home (its a laptop) and it worked/displayed fine. I am back at work now, and is still fine. I did indeed do all the troubleshooting ideas (dumb or not) specified by Philly0381 with no luck. Maybe Ricoware is right, maybe it was Accuweather. Hey CarGuy1, you still having this issue? Thanks for all the help guys!!!

I have exactly the same problem, today (being a Monday morning) it shows today, tomorrow then Monday Tuesday and Wednesday and the "Today" and Tomorrow give different readings to the "Monday and Tuesday" so I dont think its working correctly. Try Comparing it with the AccuWeather site for my home town, I just use the last three days and ignore the Today and tomorrow.

Mine is doing the same thing here.

Posting what version of OD you are using (free or plus, build #) and the location you are trying to look up might help.

The common denominator seems to be AccuWeather, since CarGuy's screenshot doesn't show ObjectDock running at all. He appears to be using DX.

I've never noticed the problem here. If you guys would list your locations so we could test them, we may be able to nail down where the problem is coming from.

Mine just started showing the correct days at around 1:00PM eastern.

I guess it's AccuWeather.

Is there anyway to use another weather service with OD?

Only if you (or someone) can create a new docklet that uses another service.

You could try another docklet created by a user that leverages The Weather Channel (www.weather.com).
