For now. Patience seems like a good plan at this point.
That may well be indeed.

God, I really don't want to have to parse this thing from scratch again. That is a fair to middling amount of work... ;-)

Hi everyone - just sharing that Weather gadget isn't working - I've done the IE cache clears and also used 3rd Party app to clear out all the windows stuff to. I cleared IE, Edge & Windows. still no resolution for me.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help out or test.

I'm East Coast - Connecticut - if this is a regional thing.

Try doing exactly this, no more, no less:

OK, so that worked! the only difference was the waiting ~2 minutes. I previously did the same exact clearing multiple times and even did a reboot afterwards with no luck.

Now that's interesting, because I'm not even sure I waited a minute after doing the same...

Even more interesting as I already tried this once and it did NOT work. I just tried it again and waited for at least 5 minutes and still no joy!

I was one of the first to post that the Weather.com skins were not working and was told to delete the temps with CCleaner and at that time it DID work. It then was ok for several days and now failed a day or two ago. Since then NONE of the cleaning methods have gotten them working on my system. Very strange.

In the interim I'm using the Yahoo.com weather skin and that has been working just fine!

That could help in isolating the problem, if lucky. Would you mind (if privacy concerns or whatever aren't an issue, of course) sharing:
- which browser do you use, or if you use more than one browser, also, if you're using Win10.
- use one of the tools I linked here to save / share what and how many cookies you have from weather.com recently? The NirSoft one is light and portable, so it might be preferable, as the latter one is more of a professional one, requiring installation and some light registering. I saved my cookies after making weather.com work again, so maybe some comparison between the two scenarios could help.
- just to make sure, use your latitude and longitude in this skin and let me know if you're getting a temperature.

P.S. You can send me a PM if those privacy concerns are high, by the way.

Hi!

One thing i can quickly answer: I am using Win 10 with all the latest updates. I haven't used IE in a long time. I was using MS Edge and an now using MS Chrome Edge (or whatever they are calling it!).

The other things I won't be able to get to today but will try to do them tomorrow and either post them or PM them to you.

Hi Gerry... If you have a moment for some debugging, once you exit Rainmeter and clear the cache per the instructions, go into the @Resources folder for the skin you are using, and edit the file WeatherComJSONMeasures.inc file. At the top of the file, add the following lines to the [@EntireSiteSuperParent] measure:

Code: Select all

UserAgent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/83.0.4103.61 Safari/537.36"
ForceReload=1
THEN restart Rainmeter and see what happens.
