You will need to replace xoap with xml for the weather.com feed to work

Well, we are very careful to have any changes we make to Rainmeter be "backwards compatible" so we don't break existing skins. However, we can't control external websites that have nothing to do with Rainmeter. If something "web-related" doesn't work right, it is always a good test to take the URL from the skin and try it in your browser to see if that is where the issue is.

If you put http://xoap.weather.com/weather/local/GMXX0051?cc=*&unit=m&dayf=6 in your browser, you get:

<error>
<err type="100">
Invalid Partner Code.
</err>
</error>

About a year ago Weather.com made their more robust xoap interface to the feed a "subscription" service, while leaving their standard xml interface free.

Not sure how that leads you to the solution in this case, but that is why we have the forums. You would have gotten 10 responses in a matter of minutes if you had posted that URL and result here.

Glad it's solved.
