Default RCU additions

Mark, looks like I'm getting local weather (Accu-weather) now on the bottom of the main screen..and that is way cool.
I also noticed that pages seem to pop up and load a lot quicker....did you upgrade something?
Thanks
Bobzilla

I also don't have the weather. But I don't always sign up for all the wizz-bang features out there.

However, it does sound like someone accidentally installed a browser plug-in. There are several that do the weather. Of course, the ones I know of are also spyware/adware. So if you suddenly have something like that on your browser and it wasn't there before, you might want to look in to exactly what it is.

Cool. I guess I'm just not seeing it. That's ok, Accuweather is evil anyway. I prefer to use weather underground for my local current conditions.

Since you guys mentioned weather, this is by far the best weather site for modeling. It is very accurate in our area. Of course you can customize it for your area.

Glad you like it. I have set up several "favorites" for different parts of the country that I'm interested in, primarily fly-in sites.

The weather module will only show up if:

1) YOu are logged in

2) You are on the main rcu homepage (it appears at bottom)

3) Your zip code is entered in your account (5 digit zip).


If zip is missing it won't show. You can toggle the module on and off and check your zip code by clicking the My Account button on top of any page here
