Yes, it's amazing that nothing else even comes close to FF.

I use Wunderground a lot which is okay, but it's a website that you have to go to, more steps. FF is right there, instantly available, customized how you want it.

:turn-l: Thank you, thank you, thank you to Nitallica and those who pointed out getting your city code and someone mentioned latitude and longitude.

I thought I had it at first, as it showed my home town name, but had Birmingham, Alabama's forecast. Very strange.

Adding the lat/long to the page of code that Nitallica provided was the ticket! YAY to have ForecastFox back! =D>

When reloading the deleted program, you have to deny some type of update that is sent as a .txt file, as I believe it undoes everything you've done. If you haven't deleted the program, that may not happen.

I'd take that other weather program and toss it out the window if I could. #-o I can't believe no one else has ever developed another good weather program.

Hi,

I have Forecastfox Fix installed and it is showing as "working".
There is a problem however. It seems to default to NY and even when I change the location in the forecast bar to my location or any other location it still gives me the forecast for NY.

I HAVE SAME ISSUE AND CAN NOT CHANGE LOCATION
IF THE CHANGE LOCATION IS SELECTED THE RESULT IS A SPINNING WHEEL AND NO SELECTION CAN BE MADE.

The previous page contains what worked for the rest of us, particularly these 3 reponses:

viewtopic.php?p=14973423#p14973423

Please try those, then update this thread with your results. Thanks!
