click any member: http://4seven.bplaced.net/forum/1/memberlist.php
eg: http://4seven.bplaced.net/forum/1/memberlist ... ofile&u=53

We come a bit further. Demo is updated , eg.
http://4seven.bplaced.net/forum/1/memberlist ... ofile&u=62

Now it have an additional weather overlay in memberlist_view on 'User Weather Location' Map as further service to the weather forecast. This works also, if a forecast is impossible, means, if no forecast data is present, but google maps display current weather.The code and caching was optimized again. Later comes a setting for Fahrenheit or Celsius, etc.

[DEV] of v.0.0.3 is now completely fixed and optimized.
http://4seven.bplaced.net/forum/1/memberlist ... ofile&u=67
Also over some months we've tested the new engine with 0 errors.
The caching system is performant with minimum requests.

Feel free to check out the updated demo

or just jump via rightclick on username label in jQUser Map to profiles
http://4seven.bplaced.net/forum/1/user_weather/user_map.php

** May refresh the site (F5), if nothing appears, because of caching

Timeline until release is ~spring/next year
