MACMAN8  I solved my problem in my review. Using System Preferences, I added Weather Vane to my Login Items list. When restarting, the icon appears black in the menu bar, then after going online, I simply selected Refresh Forecast, and it works perfectly. This is a great little application!

MACMAN8  I just came across Weather Vane by accident and I'm glad i did so. It's great, and has worked fine thus far. Being on a 56k dial-up, I'm not constantly online. At start-up, I did click on the app to activate it when I came online. I added Weather Vane to my Dock to make this easy. Overall, I'm quite pleased with it! Thanks to the developer for creating Weather Vane.

Y-GUY  I switched to this app after couple of years using the Weather Channel app. This one is a solid app that shows me everything I want to know fast and without the need to visit a website for a look ahead. It's not as comprehensive as some others, but if you just want to see what's coming up quickly you can't beat it.

PENGUIRL  v2.2 crashes at launch on my G5 running 10.4.11 with the error:

Link (dylid) error: Symbol not found: ___stack_chk_guard Referenced from *App location* Expected in: /usr/lib//ibSystem.B.dylib

I checked and the referenced file does exist at that location, this happened with my previous system and my now newly installed from scratch system.

PENGUIRL  AND… it's broken again. Meteo that is.

Having gone back and tried Meteo again while Weather Vane was not working for me I realized just how clunky Meteo is. With WV you can see the entire forecast at a glance, with Meteo you have to mouse or arrow down to see each day's forecast individually. The one feature that I do like about Meteo is the nine day forecast, not that it doesn't often change over the next eight days but it's nice to look ahead.
