Jeanne, first we should fill the gallery a bit :)  I am looking forward to have more there.  Will the photos all be mixed up or shall we have each our own corner like previously?

JeanneP

Bubble.  On your postings only.  I have a add of a sort that comes up at the bottom.  Shows  WU sign.  Error invalid URL.   It stands for weather underground.

Is anyone else seeing it.?

Nita H

I see it too.  Was wondering why it was happening.

There is a problem trying to find the correct address for Bubble at the weather site. NOTHING WRONG here.

Thanks Rammel, if you can find it..  I tried all kind of tests but nothing worked.

For some reason I am unable to get that weather gizmo to work for either Coos Bay, OR or North Bend, OR .... is it possible there isn't one available for this area?  I seem to remember someone using it for North Bend at one time..... ah, well...

I'll do some digging.

Hopefully I'll do better than with Bubbles  :'(

Jaywalker -
Copy and paste this in  - BUT - After you paste it in, remove the spaces after the two left brackets.  The code works. I tried it.

It appears that when entering a location with a name split with a space that you must put a _ where the space should

Coos Bay would be put in as Coos_Bay.

Thank you, so much!  I just noticed that, too.   :-[

Can someone tell me what I need to do to change my time zone?

Nita 
Go to profile -
summary
modify profile
look and layout
time offset
and add or substract the number of hour from the time shown on the forum.

Got it! You are my hero! LOL

Rick, can you delete my weather info and put this in instead?

http://surfgrandhaven.com/

I had both before, but don't see how to get both in and I think more people are interested in Lake Michigan at Grand Haven than my weather.  Today, especially, we are having a snow storm and there are lots of whitecaps in the lake.

Nita H

Thanks, Bubble. I looked before I asked, but somehow missed that.

Hi Rammel
Not sure this is the board to ask your advice regarding flags for S&F.

As I don't know how to put the Manx Flag on my profile.

And also how to put the weather and time on as well.

I don't think the software used here has a Manx Flag. You could put one where others have the weather widgit or select a nearby Country.

And also how to put the weather and time on as well.
This may be a problem for now. I couldn't create one for Bubble. Seems the site we usually go to is mostly a North America oriented site. If I find a way to do it, I'll let you know.

Hi Wjoan, glad you made it :) 
It's a wonderful feeling  getting reunited with this site, isn't it?

The temps for Israel/ Tel Aviv  should be at this URL but I don't know how to make it show in the profile.

https://www.wunderground.com/q/zmw:00000.28.40176

Can you direct me Rammel on how to manage that?  Thanks

I "played" with that info for a while and got no where. As time permits I will try more. If I get it to work you'll probably hear me from where you are.

It was crazy here over night. Had to shut down due to lightning/thunder, and high wind. The wind is still blowing like crazy. Friday it went up to 80ºf. Then last night it was down to 32 and had some fast falling snow.
