Where has the Weather Station Gone ?

Published by at 16:14 under Club Notices

Various people are having problems with the online weather station display, it shows as loading but then fails to display anything and if you dig down it says “movie not loaded”. The problem if occuring has been caused by recent updates to your browser Adobe Flash Player to 10.3.183.5,as I found out last night with one browser Chrome not working  (Flash is apart of Chrome and is upgraded during it’s updates) and then I upgraded flash on Internet Explorer which then stopped my second working. I have found references to this problem on the Internet with the only suggestion to fix, is installing an earlier version of Flash which I have tried but not successfully. I would assume Adobe will pick up on this problem and include a full fix in a later version but I don’t know when.

Unfortunately this also affect the live wind display at the IOS and I know many of us use them both. So the main advice is, if it works successfully now, then do not accept an automatic upgrade to your flash player, otherwise it will probably stop working. Hopefully somebody may highlight a fix in the comments.

    Looks like Adobe have a new version of Flash Player to install as of today

    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

    It’s now version 10.3.183.7 – I have no idea whether it fixes the above bug! Probably worth a try if the downgrade does not work for you.

    10.3.183.7 fixed the issue, at least for me.

    Thanks Mike, that must just shows Adobe are switched on. I have just been to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and done an install and there is now a new release today which has fixed the problem. So the the advice to people now is, if it is broken then go to the link, download and update.

    Unfortunately Google Chrome which has flash built in, still doesn’t work but I am sure an auto update for Chrome will happen soon.

    There is a really easy fix for Chrome, use Firefox…
