How do I change the "Records Since" parameter?

Post by SpireWeather »

After a year or more of deliberation I have finally switched from Weather Display to Cumulus (and Steve will be receiving a donation in due course!).

Cumulus was set up on 29th May but I have amended all my previous records since June 2011. The records still state "Records Since 29th May 2013". Is there a way that this can be changed?

I've searched the Forum but haven't been able to find the answer.

Regards,

Stop Cumulus and edit cumulus.ini. Change the "StartDate=" line. Be sure to use the same format for the date.

Thanks Steve, donation in progress.

Can any of those strings safely be edited with Cumulus closed?

Also, off topic, but is there a way to get all new forum posts by RSS?

Yes.

Not that I'm aware of. I'd have to install a mod, and PHPBB mods are a pain.
