I have been using Weather Pulse for years and I love it. I downloaded the Alert Marquee about 3 weeks ago and installed it and nothing happened. It did not show. Then about 4 days ago when I opened W.P. it came up with detected new city. I went ahead and followed through and now the Alert Marquee is working. The same thing is happening on my daughters computers. They installed it Friday and again nothing. Still have nothing today and it's Sunday, but I told them to wait a couple of weeks and it might kick in. We are all using Windows 7. Any explanation for this would be helpful. Thanks!

Try setting it to the bottom or top, change it.

The uninstall is in the Windows uninstall software listing, near the top. Just exit WeatherPulse first, then use the uninstall.

I have the option checked for marquee to display at top of screen, but it remains firmly entrenched about 2/3 of the way up, and can't be moved. Also, how do I uninstall it?

I just added the plug-in and I have a question. In the description it says...The plug-in also contains an audible alert, a configurable sound for you so that when your not at your computer, you will hear the alert too. but I haven't found where to change the sound at. Can you tell me how to change the sounds for the alert marquee?

After you hide the alert, the old alert will not display again. But if the alert text changes, like when the weather service updates the alert, then you may see the same alert again but something has changed. It does not append the alerts together.

I see, well there is a flash flood alert at the moment so that explains why it continues to scroll.
If there is another alert added, will it just append to the end of this one or? Many times we have multiple alerts here.

John, Make sure you have the first option checked "Display Alert Marquee when Weather Pulse starts" and the 3rd option checked "If Display Alert Marquee on Start then auto-hide". Now the display will show at start and then go away on it's own after 20 seconds or so. When you have the settings screen up, the marquee will always stay visible so you can adjust. The minute you hide the settings screen, the timer will start again and it will hide if enabled. But if a REAL alert is happening, the Marquee will NOT auto-hide, because you would miss the alert if you were not sitting at the computer. To display the Marquee when no alert exists, use the WeatherPulse plug-in menu option entitled "Alert Marquee Settings".

When WeatherPulse starts, I would like the Marquee to display, then hide after message was displayed. I think there is an option for this, but maybe it doesn't work?
Also, when right clicking on Marquee to hide it, once hidden, how can you make it display again?

Yes, at this time the filters are not configured to work with the Marquee. So as you say, if you have filters in WeatherPulse that you want to use in Alert Marquee, you simply cannot right now. This is something I will consider adding in the next version.
