You might be careful when you roll the wheel over the skin (which refreshes it) that you only do one "scroll", one click of the wheel as it were. If you refresh a WebParser skin repeatedly really quickly, you can hang WebParser.
The other thing you can do if you want is to edit the .ini file and remove or comment-out this line:
MouseScrollDownAction=[!Refresh #CURRENTCONFIG#]
Maybe I should just remove that. I have always used it on my skins as I'm lazy and it saves a click to not have to use the context menu to refresh, but I can see where this might be a bit of a "gotcha".
WebParser is really the only function in all of Rainmeter that has this issue, and we can't seem to stomp it out.
Thanks. I didn't click the mouse wheel just rolled it. I spotted MouseScrollDownAction=[!Refresh #CURRENTCONFIG#] and wondered what it did, and now I know!! Commenting out the line fixes the problem.

If the skins do not respond in a day or two, then it might be time to find a different source for the weather data...
You got it breaux. I can't wait to get in this new Rainmeter. I had fun with it years ago, gonna have fun with it now.

I've always struggled with the RexExp / parsing stuff. I'm using the Elementary weather skin and a simple URL replacement doesn't seem to be doing the trick -- I'm throwing myself upon the mercy of anyone who can help

It seems that the outward facing proxy server cannot connect to whatever internal Yahoo server runs the weather feed. So either the server is down for maintenance or they shut it off. Maybe it will come back online.
