I've seen more than a few reports here of folks who can't change their
location. I've seen NO replies, workarounds, nada.

This is a bug folks can see, and that renders the addon useless you
want to see the weather in NYC.

So I am offering this fix. Remove it from your system. Totally. You
are seeing bad programming and no response to bug reports. Conside...
what other bugs are in this thing? One's you can't see? How would you
know? Who do you ask?

Scrap this it aint ready for prime or any other time.

I am glad to provide this response since a response is coming from
nowhere else. Gotta love FOX.

I certainly can't help you.  I have upgraded, I have installed Forecast Fox
new, I have changed locations, I have changed locations to places that
people claim they can't change to, I have changed my custom URL to fit
others needs with no issue.  If I can't duplicate the problem, I sure as
hell can't help you.  I'm also not the author of the software, and only
speak up if I think I can find an answer.

But in this instance, without any more details, I sure as hell can't help
you.  I am a volunteer troubleshooter.  That is all.

Jon evidently has higher priorities.  I don't know what those are, nor do I
want to know.

You certainly are free to do whatever it is that you want to do with your
browser, including removing Forecast Fox.

It certainly meets my needs and does everything I expect it to do, so it
will stay installed on all of my installations.  Especially now that I've
got addon syncing on all versions.

Congratulations that you can do all of the things you mentioned...

"voluntary troubleshooting":  respond with sarcasm, the word "I" in
all but two sentences, and no questions.

I'm sorry, Bryan. Without more detail I'm unable to assist you with
your problem(s).

good grief.

Screaming "This doesn't work!" without any other information when it sure
as hell is working for others doesn't fix the problem.

Uninstall the software and unsubscribe from this newsgroup, and we'll just
call it even.

I have just added New York, NY to my Forecast Fox and it worked just fine,
I am running Firefox 11.0 could that be your problem?
I have never had a problem with Forecast Fox once it is updated to the
latest version.
The towns I currently view are: Omaha, Ne, Gilbert AZ, Brooklyn Park, MN,
Sarona, WI and Schiller Park, IL. I have chosen to add different city at
different times and have never had a problem loading the cities. The
procedure I use is to right click the location of Forecast Fox and click on
(switch locations and then new locations as the options) this will take you
to the web site of Forecast Fox and the options page.
I hope this helps in some way.
Good Luck,

Paul

I've been having a similar issue...In my case, I was only seeing New
York on my radar image, but still getting the local forecast info.  I
had been using a "Custom" setting for my radar size.  It appears I've
fixed it by setting this to "Large" instead.  I've been a longtime
user, and this bug just appeared for me in the last couple
months...might be worth a try, I was also having trouble finding any
information on a fix before I tried this.

Yep, Custom will show you NY.  Until you change the URL.  You aren't just
customizing the size, you are customizing the URL as well.

ah I see, I hadn't messed with the URL enough to take notice.  Thanks
for pointing this out, I'll have to play around with it some more and
see if I can take advantage of that.

It looks like there’s a few different bugs all involving New York City, but
for me, upgrading Chrome helped. Before, it was like my location was
hard-coded as New York City with no way for me to change it.

I’d still like to know where (and how) my location is stored, in case this
comes up again in the future.

It's stored in a sqlite database.  Jon posted a link to a software that
would allow you to look at (and possibly change?) it.  I can't remember
what it was.  And I didn't keep it.  About a year ago I believe.

You may want to kill off the forecastfox.sqlite file (when Firefox is
closed) and reset your options.  That seems to be one issue, that file gets
corrupted for some reason.  I've never had it myself, but it seems to be a
good cure for others.

Hmm. That doesn’t seem to be the case for the Chrome version of
forecastfox. I’m not finding any forecastfox.sqlite file associated with
Chrome.

Stranger still, when I tried dumping Firefox’s forecastfox.sqlite file with
the sqlite3 command, I got just “BEGIN TRANSACTION;
COMMIT;”, which seems to say the file is completely blank…

I've never installed it on my Chrome.  Go figure.

You could extract everything out of the forcastfox.jar and have a look at
his code.  It's beyond me right now.
