MAN! those are great ideas!!! i like the thought of just using the little icon on your page or post for your local weather conditions...

actually, i've kind of changed the mod a bit... on my site now, there's just one icon on the top of each page, 'Your Weather'. that way you don't have to look for your posts, etc. to find YOUR icon.

technically, i guess i could write my own page that the 'Your Weather' icon points to... pass the location to this custom page and it would instantly grab the weather in a pre-formatted layout.

i'll have to give this some thought!

but you know, the only problem with retrieving the icon from a weather site back to your vB site is that some ding-dongs put things like location: the playboy mansion; location: a warm moist hole... (no kidding on that!) so then i'm not sure about what icon would be returned by the weather site...

but you've given me some things to consider! location based weather has been a long-time holy grail to me as, like i said in a previous post... we ride sportbikes and weather conditions are very important to us.

i tried to find IP based weather hacks, etc. sheesh let the members put their location in their ucp and BAM!!! of course this isn't really a hack but heck my members love it!
