The block simply does not show up. I have gone into Administer › Site building › Blocks. I have configured the block to show up on the right sidebar. I have set the user permissions. I am not getting any errors. The block will just not show up.

Yes - I also see problems with this module - I can get the block title to show up but no data is displayed.I took the city code from the yahoo website without success.
Right now I'm using the twci_weather-6.x-1.1.tar.gz which requires registration and user code (given free) and it works OK.

OK - manged to get it to work, the problem was incorrect city code.
I was trying to find a Canadian city code (Vancouver), the code given at weather.yahoo.com is incorrect ( this is where the module configuration instructions sent me).

Instead, I went to to www.weather.com and searched for the weather in my city.
after the weather is displayed look in the URL for a code the has the following structure CAXX0518 or USCA0987 - this is the correct city code - put it in the module configuration form and it should work.

I had the same problem, only worse.
weather-6.x-5.8 totally crashed when I tried to display the block -- a totally blank screen.
Working from this hint, I got the 8-digit code for my location (Chicago, one of the less obscure ones!), and put in the "ZIP Code" blank, and everything works.

Thank you for the clues. I'm posting so if someone else needs this, it's somewhere.
