    • Due to server slowness, downtime, and other issues, guests can no longer search the forum or view user accounts. At some point in the future Eclipse will be moving to a more stable and efficient platform that should result in much better stability and the lifting of these restrictions. There is no timeline for this yet, just want you to know what's happening with all the downtime and I have a plan to fix it.

    This may be a stupid question, but how do I get the weather widget working? It says that it cannot connect to the service, and yet I am seemingly unable to do anything about it. Can anyone help me with this? :?

    Widgets for Windows 7 are so old that I wonder if the service or the URL your widget is using is still alive online :think:

    I don't think the service is around anymore. The problem is that I can't seem to change the service provider.

    Use this gadget, it's mostly the same as Windows 7's built-in one and was also produced by Microsoft: http://win7gadgets.com/weather/weather.html
