The Weather Forecasting Forum

I started a new forum - some of you might know me from http://www.pro-weather.com - because I was "forced " to become a member of a zillion forums ( fora ?? ) for al kinds of software I have purchased .

The forum I'm trying to start strives to be ONE place for ALL weather-related software .

B , since there is already a feature enabling you to make it sticky.

this would explain the error we're getting with the fleetcode-retrieval . But what about the errors in frontal bulletin ( Albany) and sferics Europe(+00hrs) ?

Tim,

I have narrowed he problems down to three sites :

HByacht-site ( fleetcodes)
two sferics sites

What I'm getting is an "invalid date/time format " while attempting to download that data .

My guess is the I/O error experienced earlier has something to do with this as well. I'm not getting any ...
