    Buoy 42012 and weather...

    Weather no longer shows up on forum. Buoy info won't load either. Is it a setting problem on my computer? Or is it a site problem. I haven't changed anything and it's always worked before. Any ideas?

    Thanks,
    Fshntime

    Those weather panels (to the right) are linked to (In) AccuWeather and Weather Underground.
    The problem may be on their end or your computer may be filtering them out.
    I still wish we had the option to make all the panels 'go away' to allow the forum be full width accross the screen.

    Anyway, try the direct link Sam posted...
    Here's the link to NWS forecast for Gulf Shores...
    NOAA National Weather Service

    I try to support NOAA and usually avoid using any of the so-called 'weather websites'.
    All most of them do is regurgitate NOAA or NWS data, though some do a better job of it than others (i.e. Intellicast)
    Here is a good example IMHO...

    If your are using a different provider/IP address, that can have an impact. there is always: REBOOT

    I don't think Jas was thinking about the internet when he said:

    Site window is still present and when I click on 42012, it tries to open and goes about a third of the way to the goal, but then locks up and just sits there. I can access the site in other ways, but not off the forum. Thanks for the replies. I'm using an ipad and don't yet know how to "reboot".

    I learned how to reboot the ipad and did it, but that still didn't help. The weather and buoy panels still appear but I'm still not able to access them through the forum. Anything else I can try?Thanks for the help so far...

    Seems to be back up and working. It seems the whole system was down. Blame it on sequester or shutdown.

    Don't know why but it has started working for me again. Haven't done anything different.

    Now weather doesn't show up in the box. Guess I'll just wait another month and see what happens!
