If they make changes and they still do not work for you, you may want to try clearing your browser cache so that you can see the latest version of the page. Sometimes when a page updates you may not see the latest version of the page. Your computer may show an older version of the page that was saved on your computer. Sometimes hitting refresh is all you need to do. But sometimes you need to clear your browser history.
Here is how to do it in IE 6:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/using/howto/customizing/clearcache.mspx
You do not need to delete cookies, just the files.
For IE 8, here is a video tutorial:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/Windows7/delete-webpage-history
Basically, go to:
Tools > Internet Options
Then on the "General" tab click "Delete..." under "Browsing history".
You can leave the "Preserve Favorites website data" checked. Then uncheck everything except the "Temporary Internet Files" option. So the first two options will be checked ("Preserve Favorites website data" and "Temporary Internet Files") and everything else will be unchecked. Then click delete.
Then visit:
http://www.weather.com/
Again.
Or, simply try to visit a page on weather.com you have not gone to before. Like, make something up:
http://www.weather.com/oiht4i3u43u
http://www.weather.com/346h7356857
They all go to a standard error page, but since you go to a new page each time you do not need to clear your browser cache.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And in case they are interested in what some of the errors are, I have included some below. (They have errors on other pages, but the other ones I found are the same as these.) Just some common JavaScript errors they need to fix. But I do not know why you are getting the error you are. You are not trying to visit:
https://www.weather.com/
Are you? Because that link, which tries to link to a secure version of weather.com, will not work. Near 0% chance of that being it though.
They did fix the errors that were appearing on the home page, but there are other errors elsewhere. I'm not sure why the front page would not still work for you though unless a bad copy was still in your browser's cache. The main page errors that I did originally get I no longer get.
