Help Updating Old Weather Skin.

Post by 4thHorseman »

First time here, Seem like a great community. Maybe I can get some help with the Weather Skin I have. The Weather Portion specifically the Temp and Location and condition don't seem to be functioning. I brought this skin over from an old computer. The Location should be Palm City, FL, USA.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My Vclouds 2 went dead a couple days ago and I haven't seen any chatter as to why.

I came here to see if anyone else was having the same issue. I fixed things when it was updated back in Jan and everything was fine up until a couple days ago.

Hoping others will chime in and a fix gets posted. It's just so handy to have on the desktop.

Starting with Jan. 3, 2019 http://weather.yahooapis.com is no longer available.
Replace the existing file with the file in the archive.
Then refresh the skin

My Vclouds 2 weather is broken again. A few weeks ago someone posted a fix that involved using CClean to clear the JSON files. It worked, but in the last two days I've lost the weather again, and CClean didn't do the trick. Help, please.
