[pompui]

By the way, off topic but , i missed it, where did westerby go?

Maybe a new crime law introduced in the UK, 3 months in the nick for 'internet forum excessive posting LOL

Just seen the latest BBC weather on the news,Udon Thani is no more,now only showing Bangkok and Vientianne.

Yes I noted that too, but then Vientiane was not there before either, so we move from Udon the laos, not too far so we get the same weather almost.

In looking through topics noticed this weather topic hadn't read it before. I put underground.com in my bookmarks and added weather.com to firefox at the bottom of screen. Thanks for the info

In the U.S. we don't call it weather any more it is called climate change.

Also have a look here http://www.weather.com/services/

You can see a box that talks about a Firefox add-on. If you install it you have the weather for whichever city you like (I use Nong Khai, but also has Udon etc) displayed like a widget along the bottom of your screen, above the Taskbar.

You can easily click and get radar maps, 10 day forecasts, etc etc.

[polehawk]

Yeah, it's a good site. Also like the 12 hour forecasts in F or C. Lee had it on the frontpage a few years ago and was able to d/l it from there.

Even gives me the latest baseball score for my favorite team.

Now that Udon Thani has been replaced by Vienchien on this map I can now speculate as to what happened. I do think BBC takes themselves very serious and acurate. I do think that having Udon as a major city on that map was a mistake.

There is probally someone employed by BBC whos job is to do searches on the internet looking for criticism. It was easy for them to see this error and make this adjustment.

Maybe sometime in the future as Udon becomes the new regional capitol BBC will have to PUT UDON BACK ON THE MAP.

I took the view that it coincided with the story of the pregant English girl facing the death sentence and people back home did not have a vindaloo where Vientianne was.
Now we have a stabbing at the Day&Night or Mortiboy's sexual exploits which should give the BBC enough clout to reverse their decision

Not bad also : http://www.accuweather.com

Udon Thani : http://www.accuweather.com/world-index- ... I&metric=1 (metric system quite interesting for the froggies who use Celcius and not Farheneit )

The "real feel" about the temperature interesting too

Here is another website I found that has detailed weather reports for Udon Thani, it is called accuweather:

BBC won't tell you about the weather in beautiful, downtown Udon? Try downloading the Weather Channel on your desktop. http://www.weather.com/services/downloads/?from=footer

Just a word of warning for anyone who downloaded this link. It's a PITA to get rid off.
Just Googled "Unistall The Weather Channel" and there's nearly 2.5M hits on the subject.

[polehawk]

As a test, I just now removed weather.com with no resultant problems. Go to your computer's Control Panel and remove the program from "Add/Remove Programs". The process did take me to another page where it asked reasons why I was removing the program and offered a screensaver which I declined.

Not a PITA to get rid of at all, IMO.

That was the first thing I did Polehawk. Didn't work. Guess my PC not 100%, but I'm not the only one.

Do a Google search, "Uninstall the", and it will automatically come up with, "Weather Channel". The only way I could uninstall it was to do the following, which is copied from a forum help desk.



This is a known issue with the product, and will be resolved in a forthcoming release. Copying the UNWISE.EXE from the Framework folder to the Desktop Weather folder will resolve this issue. The steps are as followed:

Go to Start, Programs, Accessories, Windows Explorer.
In the left scroll window of Windows Explorer click the + next to My Computer, then click on the + next to C: drive to expand the view.
Scroll down that menu until you find the Program Files Folder.
Double click on the Program Files folder to expand the view.
Scroll down that menu to The Weather Channel FW folder and double click on it to expand the view.
Double click on the Framework folder to display the contents.
Right mouse click on the icon that says "UNWISE.EXE" on the pop-up menu click on COPY.
Go to the tool bar on the window and click the Back button.
In that window right mouse click on the "Desktop Weather" folder and in the pop-up menu click on PASTE.

From that point you will be able to proceed as normal with the uninstall
Hope this works for you.
