Weather docklet showing wrong day

June 25, 2008 8:39:40 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
I'm using the latest version of ObjectDock Plus. I added the weather docklet to my dock yesterday, but for some reason it still thinks that today is Tuesday. I've seen other threads like this with replies saying "it's been fixed" or "it only affects the free version", which clearly isn't the case. Is there a solution to this problem? Thanks.

I only bought it yesterday, so it's the latest version I assume. Version 1.90 Plus, version 535u. I'm located in the UK and the location I'm looking up is "Stafford, United Kingdom". It appears to find the location OK, it's just a day out.

You can try the alpha build on Impulse.

My free version (v1.90,build534) is reading:Today-Tomorrow-Thursday-Friday-Saturday.[Hint] Today is Wednesday.I don't know when that started,it's always been correct before though.No big,I don't use the flyout often,just a fyi.

That's what mine said, although now it's saying "Internet not available" for some reason. Thing is, you don't know if the weather is right but the day is wrong, or whether the weather and day are just one day behind. It's not a major issue, but it would be nice if there was a fix without having to install an alpha build.

I'm wondering if it's a Accuweather issue,not an OD one.I've had similar events(not connecting,wrong days) with a WeatherChannel sidebar gadget.It fixed itself,I'd give OD a little time.

It's clearly not just with the free version. I have OD Plus v1.90 Build 535U. The weather docklet is not receiving weather updates...says "Feed not available...try again later." Had been working fine until a couple of days ago.

Yesterday, I tried removing the docklet and reloading it. It didn't solve the problem. However, later in the day it came back on by itself and was receiving weather again. For awhile, that is, then it went out again. Today it has not been on at all and reports the feed not available.

This same problem was happening to me with the free version and is now happening with the OD+. I think it most likely has something to do with the docklet not recognising that we in Australia are at +10 UTC and are normally a day ahead.

It is quite confusing - not to mention that the current weather is now 4 degree above the "today" maximum

I agree Snafooey
I purchased OD+ the other day and am in Australia and mine is also displaying a day out.
Annoying and confusing

This has happened before. Mine is off too. I'm in the US. Last time, it just fixed itself at around midnight.

Sometimes it's not just one day off but two days. For example, today is Thursday (noon, UTC+8) but the Weather docklet displays "Today, Tomorrow, Thursday, Friday, Saturday". A similar thing happened last Saturday around midnight.

Yes I have also notice this.
Well I'm in France it's 14h15 and for the first time it work correctly at this time.
It's difficult to say if it's a problem in the Docklet or a problem from the feed on Accuweahter.com :
I have checked theirs website but there's nothing about weather Docklet in Download section.

I downloaded the latest update via Impulse, and installed it. The problem is still there although there might be an improvement. Last night, Thursday, the Weather docklet showed "Tonight, Tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday, Monday". So far so good. But almost an hour after midnight, when it was already Friday, the Weather docklet showed "Today, Tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday, Monday". What?!!! It should have been "Today, Tomorrow, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday". How come the Weather docklet detected the switch to the next day (from "Tonight" to "Today") but did not adjust the days of the week ("Saturday, Sunday, Monday")?
