2 quick questions

[jetlag]

The new software keeps asking for my location anytime I click on the site, regardless of whether I say yes or no.. Also my name has been changed to jetlag-Jay? where did the Jay come from?

Can you give me more info about the browser you are using and device so we can investigate?

The name change is because Usernames must be unique. It looks like there were 2 accounts with the same name. It's possible you registered twice with 2 different email addresses. We can merge those accounts... alternatively, you can update your display name via your profile. Ask for help via the contact link if needed

I get the same asking for location all the time. I'm using Firefox but have blown off updates for a while so it's my bad at this time.

 

[Janet H]

Can someone please post a screenshot of this?

 

[jetlag]

I am trying Firefox, Edge and Duck Go and all do the same. I have never seen anyone else with my name on here. The old forum did the same with the wanting my location but not quite as bad? If you want to merge accounts, do it although to my knowledge I have a a single account/login

Thanks for the screenshot.

The location issue is a cookie handling thing. We ask members if they are willing to take speed tests when they are at parks. There is a location cookie. You can dismiss it, but If you clear your cookies at every page change or when you leave the site, The nag returns the next time you login.

Regarding the username - I've gotten this fixed

 

[jetlag]

I don't clear cookies, so how can I dismiss it?

Go to your browser settings. Go to Privacy and Security (could be called Site Settings depending on the browser). Under Permissions, select Location and choose to Block requests for your location. Save your changes.

Interesting, it is only showing up on DuckDuck go and not on Chrome. Tried what Redhawk 26m suggested but no joy. Oh well

Every browser will be a little different. I use Firefox.
Google "how to stop location requests in duckduckgo browser" for specific info.

Duck duck go hides your location and other personal information. Forum software is always looking for it.

I’ve been asked for my location every time I’ve opened need the site since I joined a few years ago.

With this new software I was getting asked every time I opened a new page or refreshed. A couple of clicks in the browser settings and now I never get asked.

Same with me.

This makes a lot of sense, thank you
