Hello from Perth Australia
« on: May 25, 2024, 10:05:44 AM »
Hello
I'm Loo Neil Smith, from Australia
Although I've been using WeatherCat (and LWS before that) for years, I've never checked out the forums before. I'm mainly interested in the "integration" forum as I'm looking for Twitter posting solutions and because I want to figure out how to add some weather data to a webcam image (other than the one used in the generated web pages).
It's nice to join the community and I'm looking forward to many useful discussions with you

Dear Loo Neil and WeatherCat faithful,

I'm Loo Neil Smith, from Australia

Even if you are a long time user, welcome to the WeatherCat forum!

Although I've been using WeatherCat (and LWS before that) for years, I've never checked out the forums before.

Unfortunately, WeatherCat no longer supports any sort of uploading to Twitter.  The company had eliminated its public application programmer interface, forcing Stuart Ball (WeatherCat) developer to withdraw support for Twitter.  There is a brief comment on the topic on this forum posting:

I don't know of any way to add additional data to the webcam image either.  However, you might consider suggesting the idea on the WeatherCat Feature Request topic of the forum:

By all means welcome once more.  Glad to have you on board!

Thanks for posting Loo Neil Smith and welcome to the WC forum. I've been around Queensland but haven't explored your side of Australia yet. Sorry about Twitter eliminating the option for WeatherCatters to upload weather tweets. In my own personal protest to that move, I have vowed never to purchase a Tesla or pay for a ride to the moon aboard SpaceX.
