 Da> Hello,

Hey DaveW,

I tried temporarily setting my BBS location to Port Charlotte, FL, and it's working for me here. Did you remember to grab the latest wxcenter.js from GitHub before you tried it again?

Watch your Terminal Server log when you run it. You should see something similar to this:

  9/6  07:45:37a  Node 1 <Codefenix> running external program: Weather Center
  9/6  07:45:43a  Node 1 <Codefenix> Viewing forecast from Weather.gov (TBW) for Port Charlotte,FL after 0 retries.
  9/6  07:45:43a  Node 1 <Codefenix> There are 9 warning(s) in FL.
  9/6  07:45:43a  Node 1 <Codefenix> 0 warning(s) found in the area for https://api.weather.gov/zones/forecast/FLZ162.

If you're getting something different, let me know.

Even though you found a workaround, I'd still like to figure this out.

 Da> I hope this helps you. This is an awesome program though. The Sixel
 Da> weathermaps are amazing for a BBS.

Thanks again for the feedback! I enjoyed working on it and that was a fun bonus feature to add in.
