Weather Module, invalid location

I just installed the 12.02 version hoping it would solve this problem. It didn't. I cannot get the weather. I get invalid location.This has been going on for several weeks. Attached screen shot of error message. Help please.

You're not alone. Something is going on. It could be one or more of the sites responsible for the information, a cache cleaning program like CCleaner or a security program blocking it.

I doubt it has anything to do with the module itself. I've been having a similar issue for about a week or so.

If I switch to a different city other than the one I use it works fine, hence why I suspect it could possibly be the latter two reasons I gave.

ccleaner and the like don't touch winstep, and once it's allowed through your firewall it's set.

Hey Chucky, its been a while. The reason I brought those up as possible secondary causes is that I recently updated CCleaner and my security programs update on a regular basis.

The weather module information stopped displaying and showed the invalid location error after using CCleaner. It could be just a coincidence.

As far as the security programs...once in a blue moon (after an update) they might flag something as malicious and fully or partially block something that should be white-listed that wasn't blocked previously.

It's happened on several occasions with Winstep programs. Obviously the false-positives aren't Jorge's fault. I remember quite some time ago there was an issue with a few security programs dragging their feet about wihite-listing the info submitted to them by Jorge.

I was getting the same issue. I tried switching cities and it was still happening. I found the METAR code for my town and put that in and it worked. So it seems to be weather.com related.

Yes, it seem's the weather.com forecast stopped working (for Winstep) On my Linux System weather Apps. based on Weather.com forecast work fine.
