hi friends,

it is Wednesday morning at 2:00 - I still get Takoradi, which is wrong for sure.

At http://aprs.fi/ the geolocalisation is working fine.

I have no idea where the problem is. :idea:

My provider here in Germany is t-mobile.

I wish you a nice and warm day, where ever you are.
It is only 5° Celsius here in Germany and we have 92% rel humidity with 2 bft wind and the sky is overcast.

regards to all of you

Here's something to add to the confusion. My neighbor across the street from me is seeing Takoradi on his computer while I correctly get Roseville on mine. We use the same service provider (SureWest), and even have identical DSL modems for what it's worth. :?

p.s. Yes, I cleared my cache and browsing history.

Hi guys,

to fullfill the discussion/confusion ... I visited all your sites and of course Yowindow a few minutes ago and every site shows mw the right location :?
So I think the problem must be in the different countries (IP locator).

Hello,

One of the widget programmer could tell us what the problem is and how to fix it? It worked very well, and here everyone has the weather Takoradi, it must be a very beautiful area in Ghana ... but not very useful on my site, it worked very well and there is a disaster, thank you for answers

Hi Gemini,

The problem with Takoradi is not in YoWindow. The IP Locator service that is being used by YoWindow is where the problem is. When Pasha gets back from his much deserved vacation, he will be able to get in touch with the IP Locator service and get the Widget functioning 100% again.

We just need to be patient for a few more days.

Hello, ok thank you

Friends, you are absolutely right.
On 15th of November our IP-to-location provider "ipinfodb.com" has disabled the old API we were using.
They were expecting that all the clients have already switched to a new API.

I did not know about the change and was also surprised to see Takoradi instead of Hurgada when I was on vacation.
Murphy law in action, IP location detection was broken on the second day of my vacation.
There is no sense to blame ipinfodb since they give us the wonderful service for free and they have made the transition to a new API as smooth as possible.

Today I have changed our software to work with the new ipinfodb API.
That means the location must be detected nicely, the way it used to before Nov 15.

PS, in case you are wondering what's so special about Takoradi, Ghana.
Takoradi was selected because it is the closest YoWindow location to a point of lat = 0, lon = 0.
This point is returned by an old API now.

Good evening, thank you very much, everything works fine now good night

It's running fine again, thank you!

Hi Pasha,
I don't know why but as I wrote before, here in Spain never was a problem with the localisation :?: :?
