It sounds like only a matter of time before weather.com discovers weatherpanel's xml feed ID and blocks it from downloading updates...
The good part is that the feed weatherpanel uses is specified by the validity check on the server... but this is still going to cause a lot of headaches.
Thought you guys should be made aware of this.
I'll comment more on this later, but it's late, and I'm tired.
P.S. I think this is a shady under-handed tactic on weather.com's part. The quality of their service and programs has always been questionable and this just further solidifies those feelings of negativity towards weather.com (the weather channel) as a company as a whole.
PS can we get black text so that those of us with horrible eyes can actualy see what's going down?

Thanks for the color translation
Thanks for transposing to black. Sorry for the color. I would have done it myself, but I forgot to set up email notifications of postings to this thread. Thanks for jumping in.
How has their service been questionable? Every time I go to weather.com I get exactly what I need.

fyi, those weren't my words, I quoted the full posting of the announcement from the WP forum (which is why I originally posted it in a different, albeit unreadable, color)
Ah Gotcha.
I know you hate me by now, but I have one more app under my sleeve. Err.. Straight from my keyboard. After a quite a few nights of development I’m ready to ask yet for your help once again in beta-testing a completely new application for windows phone 7 – Weather Stats. Weather Stats sources data from http://www.weatherbase.com/ (by permission from the owner) to bring back local (offline) climatological database (temperature and precipitation averages across the world) to your phone. Once released this app will be completely free and will have no advertisements (I hate both of the opposites). This database app will be useful for planning vacations or events and has massive amounts of data, almost 100000 charts among 26820 cities worldwide.
This app allows you to search by city name, navigate by country or search nearest places on map (using Bing maps). Integrates with Wikipedia too. It supports both metric and US units for charts. Finally it integrates with bing local search (place cards) to instantly bring you weather averages of the nearest location to your destination.
I want to make it good and reliable before I try to release it to the marketplace. If you want to help beta test it – please send me the liveid of your phone and I will give you a link to the app (this is needed for private beta-testing).
Thanks a lot for your help,
Nikita
Second Beta is released. Many bugfixes and improvements!
Learn about geography, plan your next vacation or event, or just browse through maps and charts to satisfy your curiosity.
