OK,
The forecast is 'Rain, very unsettled'
$forecast = trim('Rain, very unsettled');
In davconvp2CU.php at line 414
preg_match('/Unsettled/i',
is a case insensitive search of the forecast string and should find "unsettled" inside 'Rain, very unsettled' and deliver the icon for mostly cloudy.
Does your VP2 physical console show a mostly cloudy icon?
Have spent many hours finding and analyzing Davis forecast strings and found ~140 different ones.
None have "very" in them and only one has "unsettled".
Maybe Davis have invented some new ones on later consoles - Is your VP2 Console new?
The Davis Console constructs the forecast string different component strings and they are not really listed anywhere on their website AFAIK.

Hmmm,
It's got the Icons now, but no changes made at all.

Is the forecast different?
If so what is it now?

Thanks Paul,
I could see it too if I over-rode my security
That is the same forecast as before so everything appears to be working OK.

looks like Google and a few other sites have it blacklisted which in turn is past onto so Web filter agents etc.
not all web checkers fail but some like this one.

Phil, you should be able to request McAfee Siteadvisor take another look at your site. Then they can scan for content again.

"Rain, very unsettled" is not a Davis forecast, it's a Zambretti forecast, i,e. one of the ones you get if you have Cumulus configured to use the 'Cumulus forecast' rather than the station forecast.

Thanks Steve - had not considered that! - too long since I worked on this in detail.
Perhaps, in MX UI:- Settings, Station settings, Forecast, "Use Cumulus forecast" has been ticked?
Just checked the HowTo and this is not specifically mentioned - yet another thing to add for the future.

That Frustrates the hell out of me, particularly considering my clients visit my site.
Seen numerous false positives on Symantec's "Norton Web Safe", that I always have resolved by getting them to review my site again.
They also provide the URL of the suspect files, which simply don't exist.
Do others have this same issue from time to time?
Phil.

OK Thanks,
It seems there are no new forecasts, as Steve indicated that is a "Cumulus" forecast - i.e. a Zambretti simple forecast. As indicated in my last post, check the settings in CumulusMX's Ui. If you tick "Use Cumulus forecast" then you will get the Zambretti forecast, not the station forecast.
If you untick that setting then Cumulus will deliver the station forecast - i.e the Davis forecast - this is a Davis console "emulation" so it assumes you have a Davis console and therefore have a Davis forecast.

Re the 'blacklisting';
There seem to be lot of issues with these blacklisters - they feed off each other and tend to perpetuate issues without necessarily checking for themselves
Have found this site to be useful in checking IP addresses
http://whatismyipaddress.com/blacklist-check They have a bunch of other tools as well.
Have just checked your Ip (116.0.23.207) with them and it found 1 entry in a list of 71 organisations.
It is at l2.apnews.org. It is an automated "Early lister" and blocks large ranges of addresses. The are many other blacklist sites in addition to this set of 71.

I've got the 3 Bars again this morning; and yes did have it set for Cumulus Forecast, but have just now changed that.
Still getting the 3 bars.
Have had a look at davconfcst.txt & see this:-

Edit:-
I just noticed the warning that the

Yes, Just looked at that.
One of the issues with the Hosting provider I use is they have multiple domains on a server & all resolve to the same IP address;
Not sure how it works; they only say they resolve it internally.
But if you want to see for yourself you can Ping these domain names & always return the same IP.
mooc.com.au
rangroup.com.au
abstractplumbing.com.au
All resolve to 203.0.23.207
