It's going to be end users' responsibility to comply with the terms of external services.

Probably better to just switch to the google weather gadget and ditch weather.com. Unfortunately the google gadget only supports a fraction of the locations that weather.com supports.

I agree. If they don't want people to use their service, fine.

Sheesh. Well, I don't think we're going to write up a way to restrict the number of blocks of a certain kind, just for this. Probably better to just switch to the google weather gadget and ditch weather.com.

Hi, I received a mail from weather.com about their new conditions of use (see joined file) for 05/06. Will Block weatherdotcom.php be rewrited to consider these new terms ? for example, they ask us not to display simultaneously infos about 3 locations but we can display now as many as we want... What about the "four (4) promotional links, selected by TWCi " they want us to provide on our interface ? Regards
