Weather Docklet does not work
Weather Docklet by Jeff Barmann Version 1.6 and Stardock
Wednesday, April 25, 2007 by Alan Hill | Discussion: ObjectDock
After a recent update I was hoping the weather docklet would updated. It has !!! But it still does not work.I tried Brisbane Australia I tried Oceania Brisbane Australia. No Good.
Maybe it only works in the US. Pity I do not live there. Neither do a lot of your customers
Global what's that?

now Stardock Central is getting all freaky after the Objectdock update

have been using the freeware version of this app since '04 + have purchased many superb Stardock products that enhance my laptop's aesthetic functionality considerably, but this error msg gives me pause for concern

well Bobby...all I can advise is to try finding your weather code for Worthing...hopefully something will materialize in that regard...btw, London must be fun on the weekends at least, right

Nice job thomassen 
It's working now, though When I type in Sheffield (the fifth largest UK city) it comes up with Barnsley (a small town near Sheffield) - kind of insulting at best.
Unit description is still confusing - English/Metric. English is metric... The other (F) is Imperial

N.B: not all the weather points are shown on the International check map of AccuWeather ... for instance the one i can find the nearest for me is Paris, France, but indeed i know there's a meteo station very close to where i live. I tried it as a location in the weather docklet , and it worked ...

Hehe true,I've had many a lost weekend in London.I can even remember a couple of them.
A friend of mine once said that London is a bit like the moon...it's amazing,exciting and is a thrilling place to visit....but you wouldn't want to live there.

Hi everyone! Just so you know, its a brand new weather backend on our servers, so we're still working on that for international locations. If your location doesn't work right now, don't worry we're working hard in conjunction with AccuWeather to get *all* available locations up and running! 
A note also about locations: right now it can be a little finicy about what you put in. Particularly, if you're a Canada resident be aware that you don't want to do say "Toronto, Canada", but use the province abbreviation...so..."Toronto, ON". Another example, "London, England" won't work.. but "London, United Kingdom" will. And for the US, you can do "48104" or "Ann Arbor, MI", but you can't spell out the state name and have it work...so "Ann Arbor, Michigan" would fail.

Its highly probable that Shanghai may belong to another country according to this server.....maybe try Australia.
