Weather - forecast keeps throwing me an error

[Jeff]

I will also put some code into the next rev to look for null objects with respect to the forecast itself in the various display routines so that you at least not get an error if there is one for some reason. It still will need to have everything defined in the skin files however.

Alright, this sucks That seems to be the error I was/am getting, but I haven't had the problem today, and I don't know what .log file to send. I've got gbpvr.exe.log, gbpvr1(2 &3).exe.log.....4 to choose from, and I've been tinkering with plug-ins (coloration, fonts, and element placements) and from what I can tell, each new opening of gbpvr overwrites the .log files.

Am I understanding that correctly, or are one of the numbered gbpvr.exe.log files going to contain the error messages?

Got it to throw the error by adding another city and checking the forecast. I'll be mailing it off to you shortly.

Any luck on what's causing this or is this requiring an update to the plug-in? Thanks for your attention and help Jeff.

I posted an update a few days ago that should fix this problem. If it does not, capture the gbpvr.exe.log error log (and ideally a screen shot of the forecast for the city you were looking at weather.msn.com) and post it here.
