Is this something (the caching of the webcam picture) which I can avoid (if so, where), or is this to be done in the iwdl code ?
I do have a similar issue with the GIF files uploaded from WD (build 69). I can only get the actual file by clearing the cache in the browser (Safari, Chrome,…).
I am sure I am not the only one having this issue and I am sure there is a remedy
One of the things I notice is that many times I load up on my iPhone and the information shown is days old like its reading from the cache. I do a refresh yet still get the old forecast.
Whenever I use iWDL I get a bunch of error messages in the Apache log of missing .png files like so:

The images seem to be called from all.min.js. After googling the names I found that they seem to be for when you’ve added it to the home screen, and are supposed to be local to the phone.
Yet it still looks like the script tries to find them on the server and fails?
Not a huge problem but I’ve been a bit bothered by the errors and now decided to find out where they come from.
webcam image and radar image are too little and has border bar. Not good. I removed px dimension in iwdl.js but nothing happened. Where to change?
All the world likes this image format ? (attach 1)
second issue: could be useful to stop the back button on top of the page. When scrolling a page must be back on top to go back and that not useful
ok, so found out the reason why nothing loading on IOS chrome is due to the deprecation of windows.opendatabase which is used to control the display measurement units
so… if you want to share your page and have it display, say on facebooks built in browser when trying to share a link and also on google then you’ll need to get around this.
you need to open the iwdl.js and scroll right to the bottom.
Still using iWDL.
As of lately the forecast isn’t loading anymore.
I have checked if this was the case also with other users using iWDL and none of them are loading too.
The problem is the Yahoo service rendering the table from yr’s xml in iWDL has retired. Have not tried to the new one but it might work again if you register en change the link in iwdl.js

Got an email from Sietse, the developer, last week saying he is going to fix this.
At the moment, he is busy and can’t find the time to do this yet.
So we all have to be patient.
