Alerts not scraping

For the users of Weather2 in the US, Accuweather has changed the look of their alert page. So alert scraping is not currently working.

I am working on it and will have a fix soon.

Thanks.

This is the knock that scraping always gets. I had noticed that the alerts were having problems but I just ignored them because usually the Alerts don't have any really useful information in them, at least for the mild weather we have in Southern California. I imagine those living in Tornado Country have a different view about their usefullness.

I hope this is the only information you retrieve for the Weather2 plug-in by scraping.

Thanks again, for this great plug-in.

Yes, the alert information is the only thing I get by scraping.

The map images are all URLs, but those can be easily changed if they were to change the URLs from what they currently are.

Fixed in v1.1.1.2.
