I let it find my location and now I can't change it, so I keep getting "Sorry, I couldn't do this search. Could not find a location matching "Seattle, Washington""

Hi Jacalata,

The service is not currently live in the US, we're an Australian based organisation as is our target audience at present.

No, I get that. What i was pointing out was that once it had a location, I couldn't change it (it never asked me again).

Oh really? That's unexpected - I'll log a bug for this right now. Thank you so much for reporting that, we rely heavily on the input of others just like this.

Hey jacalata, thanks for pointing this out. I've reproduced the issue as best I can, and AFAICT you should see a link on that page which says "Change you answers".

Clicking it should display a list of the answers you've chosen, and the top one should be your location. Clicking that should let you change your location.

If that doesn't work, drop me a line at jcrompton@infoxchange.org -- I'd love to get enough info from you to properly reproduce the bug so we can fix it.

Thanks!

I don't think it's a bug, It took me a while to realize that "Change your answers" is how I change my location too. Perhaps the wording could be changed to make that more clear :)

Testers notified and a ticket has been logged to investigate, thanks again :)

Yep, it just didn't occur to me that would allow me to change my location as well.

On the one hand, I'm sorry to hear that the service isn't available outside AU—but also very relieved because I entered very broad parameters and got no locations in New York, New York. I was worried that there were really no resources.
