How do I purchase WeatherSig?

[We use Paypal an eBay company for our online transactions. You don't need a Paypal account to purchase, you can use your credit card, debit card and checks too!]

Why do you use Paypal for registrations?

[ I use PayPal, an eBay company, as my payment processor because they offer ideal security measures to protect customers that purchase goods or services online. One of the features of PayPal that I really like is that WeatherSig.com never receives your credit card or bank account information. One of the most effective ways to protect yourself from identity theft is to keep your financial information private. PayPal enables you to pay without sharing your financial information with sellers.  So many payment processors will transmit this information to their merchants. I say: "the smaller number of people or companies that know of your sensitive credit card or bank account information, the decreased possibility of abuse of this information: e.g. stolen credit card numbers, unauthorized withdrawals from your bank account, etc." WeatherSig.com does not need your credit card or bank account information - I just need your billing/shipping address, name, and email address.

PayPal uses Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the strongest commercially available encryption). All of the information that you provide to PayPal will reside on a server that is heavily guarded both electronically and physically. PayPal's servers are not directly connected to the Internet and sit behind a secure electronic firewall, so your private information is protected when transmitted to PayPal and is available only to authorized PayPal computers.

The use of PayPal also keeps my costs down because they charge less per transaction than most other payment processors.  This is one of the reasons why WeatherSig is so inexpensive to register.  If you pay with your Paypal funds or a credit card through Paypal, I can deliver your WeatherSig registration key immediately after purchase. ]

How do I change the font color of my signature lines?

[The signature is highly configurable, use the included signature creator located in the settings screen to create new signatures or edit existing signatures.  You can right click on each option and select fonts, colors, background color add images and more.  A real time preview of your signature is available while working on your signatures.  For advanced users, you can also use any html or text editor, please see the section entitled "How do I change colors?" in the WeatherSig help file for a detailed explanation with pictures.]

Where does the weather data come from ... ?

[The weather data is gathered from NOAA.gov on the web at http://www.noaa.gov.]

How do I add more fortune cookies?

[Ahh the fun part! Fortune cookies are stored in text format in the WeatherSig installation folder. So you can use your favorite text editor. The filename is called COOKIES.TXT. You can add as many cookies as you like but please make sure you use ONE LINE PER COOKIE . So word wrap should be off when editing to be safe. If you have a great set of cookies, send it our way and we may add them to our next version!]

When I start the program, my weather is displayed but there is no signature in the window?

[Please make sure you have followed all the steps in the "How do I use it guide" in the WeatherSig help file, specifically this section that talks about this type of situation.]

When I create a new email message, my signature is not included?

[Please review the "How do I use it instructions" and also the "Adding signature to email client" sections of the WeatherSig help file, it's most likely that your email program is not configured correctly to use the WeatherSig signatures.]

Can I use this with my proxy ?

[Yes, we have included proxy support, most users will not have to adjust the default settings, however we have included proxy settings for advanced users.]

Can I have multiple signatures ?

[Yes, you can have as many signatures as you like.  It's easy to switch signatures, just right click the WeatherSig tray icon and select the new signature.  Your default mail client signature will automatically be updated to display your new signature change]

What mail clients will WeatherSig work with ?

[Weather Signature can work with any email client that supports a file for a signature or external file in templates.  Some examples include Microsoft Mail (Windows Vista), Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, Eudora, PocoMail and TheBat]

Using WeatherSig with Microsoft Outlook ?

[To use Weather Signature with Microsoft Outlook NOT Outlook Express, you currently need to configure manually, thereafter it's automated but it's really quite simple. 

1.) First you need to change your WeatherSig signature location to your Microsoft Outlook signatures folder.  On the WeatherSig signature settings tab replace the current Output folder with your Outlook signatures folder. 

C:\documents and settings\YourUserID\application data\microsoft\signatures\
Make sure you have the ending backslash for the folder path.  Save the settings screen and exit by pushing OK.

Note: On Windows ME/98 systems your signatures may be located here: C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\microsoft\signatures\


2.) In Microsoft Outlook select Tools/Options/Mail Format/Signatures.  You should now see all the WeatherSig generated signatures.  Select the file called SIG_ws_default.htm for Html (Color) signatures or the file SIG_ws_text.txt for plain text signatures.  Your now finished and can select different signatures using the WeatherSig tray menu..

If there are no signatures in Microsoft Outlook, check your path to make sure it is correct and then press the WeatherSig Create Sig button.  Most mistakes are made by not adding the ending backslash to the path or not replacing YourUserID with your correct Windows login name .  You can even try browsing to your Output folder to see if there are any generated signatures.]

I've uninstalled WeatherSig but my email still has signatures

[[ If you have un-installed Weather Signature and the signatures are still in your email, then you still need  to delete it in your email clients signature settings. For Outlook Express, delete the WeatherSig signature in Outlook Express settings.  In Outlook Express choose
Tools->Options->Signatures and delete the default signature entitled WeatherSig.  For all other mail clients, find your signature settings and delete the WeatherSig signature ]
