New Guy Here... hoping to get some help....
To the WU Tech folks:
I have 2 issues trying to get help on. BTW I love WU - it's the only Wx service I use. I also have a wx station (IONTARIO200) and have been sending wx data to WU for many years now.
1st issue
I get the BACKEND FAILURE error when i try to load the mobile web site (
http://mobile.wunderground.com/q/zmw:00000.10.71833) for my location (Brookville Ontario). It happens on all computers / browsers, and on all my mobile devices. Started happening about 2-3 weeks ago... it will eventually load after I click the reload button a few times, but when it does finally load, it only shows the day's summary and some stuff at the bottom of the page. The WX radar and 10d fcst graph does not load at all. wheel just keeps spinning. Is there a bug that is process of being fixed?.... hopefully soon?...
2nd issue
On the regular website, when I set my favorites, and then click on a favorite to load that location, I get a totally different location. For example, I will set the favorite as Brookville:
https://www.wunderground.com/weather/ca/brookvilleclick the star to set as favorite
click on that favorite in the tool bar, and get the fcst for a totally different and seemingly random location. Sometimes Milton Ontario... sometimes I get a weird location in the US, in Maine!!
I've cleared browser prefs, history, and cookies... tried 3 times.... same behavior every time, and same random locations pop up.
I tried different geographical locations in Ontario as well... find that location, get the fcst... click star... then click on that location in the faovorites, and get a totally different forecast in a different part of the country.
I notice after I load the loication from the favorites tool bar, there is a LAT/LON in the URL... a totally wrong lat/lon for the location i want - and is the correct one for the location being displayed. That lat/lon was NOT in the URL when I set the favorite... so it looks like it is appended by the website favorite setting algorithm. Except the lat/long is random and wrong. I tried setting the fav., with the correct lat/lon for my location in the URL, but when the favorite loads from the fav menu, the wrong (and seemingly random) lat/lon pops up in the URL again.
I simply can not get my favorite set to the town I want!.... How do I work around this?
Using Mozilla Firefox 54.0.1... i know it's not the latest, but this happens
thanks!
