If you're having an issue with one or more scripts in the Saratoga template set (USA, Canada, World) and something that was working is now not working, try running (on your website):

 check-fetch-times.php?show=versions

It will show the version levels of core scripts v.s. what you have installed, and give you a link (if needed) to the update tool page with query info.  Using the update tool page will generate a .zip just for you that contains all the needed updates and quick instructions on how to install each script.

If running check-fetch-times.php?show=versions on your site just shows a series of fetch tests, then you have an old version of that software.

Download a fresh copy from here, upload to your site, then run check-fetch-times.php?show=versions again.

You'll be glad you did, and you can save a posting on the forum or an email to me for some other issue not fixed by the above.

Best regards,

A useful tip Ken.

I checked the updates page a couple of days ago and found that four files had been updated. If it hadn't been for the METAR page not working, I would never have checked.

Incidentally, when trying to find out why METARs weren't working, I noticed several sites using your template haven't been updated yet and have broken METARs pages. Now might be a good time to check your files.

I have bookmarked my check-fetch-times .php page and will make a mental note to check it regularly.

Thanks - ALAN
