Hi Paul, Cool--thanks for the heads up! I just released a patched v1.1 (1.1 p1) to change the URL from www to w3 over the weekend. I've also released a new version (1.2 Beta 1) that contains some useability enhancments as well as the URL fix. No cookies required . . . I have noticed, however, that if you install my patched 1.1 or 1.2b1 and if you have cached locations (i.e. cache is still valid), the location will still show up as missing data (the location looks just like the pre-patched version was showing) until the cache timer expires. (Default is 1 hour). You can manually flush the cache by either changing the cache time or resubmitting the location (Edit the location, make any changes if you want to, then press Submit). Hope that helps . . .
