| 1318876 | 2012-12-18 04:31:00 | Hi, it has been working till a few days ago. Today I checked my region under Control Panel and right click the gadget - options and double check the region. To me it appears Wellington, Christchurch, Palmerson North does not work. Only Auckland works. When I click the gadget and my internet browser opens up that also says data not available for my city. Can someone confirm this? I guess unless MS fixes this up soon, NZ might just have AKL (for the weather)? | Nomad (952) | ||

| 1318879 | 2012-12-18 07:56:00 | If you click on Wellington in the gadget it will take you to the MSN weather page for Wellington. When I do it for Napier it says temperature N/A. Not too worried about it. It will come right sometime. :) |
