John & Dawg: People either spend the time on their own to figure it out, or they ignore it and move on, or they take the time to install it and see what it does. (My favorite approach much of the time.)

But it's self-evident, I think, that a short description of each program at the start of the thread would be an improvement.

Imagine you've just wandered into a new forum in an area where you aren't very familiar or a newbie and there is a thread on some free software downloads...wouldn't you appreciate it if the post announcing the SW included a short description of what the SW does?

John/Dawg/Redflea: I swear I didn't mean to sound like a jerk with my first post.

It is obvious that you all put a lot of time and effort into making this site what it is - which is a fantastic resource of info for BB users new (like me) and old. I have learned a TON of stuff here in the 11 days since I got my Pearl and I am very thankful to you all for that.

My first post in this thread really was an attempt to be constructive without spending a lot of time 'splainin' myself. As Redflea said, I thought it would be self-evident once anybody looked at the situation from the point-of-view of a newcomer that some descriptions up front would be useful. I was just trying to raise awareness and show that I did at least try the links in that first post before throwing up my hands.

Anyway, my apologies if I gave any offense.

And Redflea, thanks for groking me and chiming in.

ps. to whoever set my description: LOL! Good one. Can you append " - but executes no Search before its time"

Brother you would have to do much worse to offend me. Dont worry about it at all. I only get offended by stupid people who dont even ask good questions.

I don't usually grok strangers, but in this case I made an exception.

And I'm not a mod...I have nowhere near the experience, expertise, commitment, and patience to do so.

StuartV · 02-14-2008, 10:52 AM

JC: Thanks!

Dawg: Gotcha. I guess I gave y'all too much credit.

Redflea: Thanks again for making an exception for a stranger in a strange land.

JSanders · 02-14-2008, 10:58 AM

StuartV, I have some ideas on ways you can offend Dawg if you really want to?

StuartV · 02-14-2008, 10:49 PM

Thanks, JSanders, but I've been told I am very good at that without any help, when I want to be.

So far, I'd have to say I haven't been here long enough to want to offend anybody here yet.

JSanders · 02-14-2008, 10:53 PM

pffftttt. no fun.

Just installed BBWeather on my pearl but it says "Error: No Weather Profiles specified" and hangs the phone: I can't do anything with the keyboard. If I launch BD Manager and start Application Loader (even doing nothing) then the phone reset and I can use it again.

Problem is I do not know how to add this profile to BBWeather!

Stranges as BBToday work perfectly and especially the Weather forecast. But that's maybe the problem as I installed the 2 at the same time? I tried to remove BBToday and keep BBWeather only but still have the same problem.

Any idea? Thanks

I am running 4.2.1.109 from Rogers

Bassi · 03-03-2008, 03:02 PM

any help?

thanks! it worked on my 8830we. you just have to be fast because if u let it sit there while it gives you the error. it will lock it up and will have to take the batt. out. now if i could just have the weather show on my home screen =/

Sarlic · 04-11-2008, 11:07 AM

Is there a version of BBWeather (or at least a way to configure it) to get it all on one screen, on the Pearl?

It seems the app was built for larger screens.

Thanks!

malbecar · 04-11-2008, 03:32 PM

Hi!
Where I can find screenshots of this programs and a description?
Or what are they for?
thanks
