Although PC and Windows literate, I'm fairly naive in Cumulus.
I've had Cumulus Ver. 1.9.2.(1032) installed on XP Pro since last August when I set up a humble N96GY atop my home, but recently moved Cumulus (by reinstalling and transferring all its data-folders and files) to another machine - also running XP Pro. From this new location I made a website the other day (http://www.winshillweather.co.uk/weather) using the Cumulus defaults and ready-made html. But although the Records page shows extremes correctly, dating back to 12th August 2011, the heading states that the records start-date is 21st May 2012; that being the installation date of Cumulus on the second XP machine.
What do I need to alter in order to display the records start-date as 12th August 2011, that being the true start-date of the historical data?
Any advice/enlightenment gratefully received. Thanks, Tony Johnson.

Re: Reinstalled Cumulus and website data
Stop Cumulus and edit cumulus.ini. Find the 'StartDate' line and edit the date; make sure to keep the same format as the existing date.
