Can I delete or change the Accuweather pinned to this forum?

Someone pinned the Accuweather for Ann Arbor to this forum. Is it possible to delete it or change to my locl weather when I'm on theDish Forum?

Mine is Oxford, Ma, some 3000 miles from where I live and of very limited practical use to me. I changed it, it changed itself back, so I leave it alone and it leaves me alone.

It knows right where I am.

I had to open the sidebar to even see it.

My home is near Rochester, NY. Currently I'm on vacation on Nantucket. So it doesn't know where I am.

Same here, it locks to a location on the other side of the mountain from my location. Worthless.

Click on it and change it to the area you are in.

It picks your location based on your IP address, but in some cases the IP info is wrong or you are using a satellite provider.

Mine came up as Glendale Az, only off by about 50 miles so I accepted it. Is it picking up location based on Server?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

based on the IP address you are using.

I dont know what database they are using but if I look at your IP our database shows your IP in Mesa, Az.

 

[ChadT41]

Interesting. I am in Mesa so that makes sense. Sounds like a fun experiment to mess around with some day Scott.

I've tried to change it , but it never stays

You must have some kind of cookie blocking setup as it stores a cookie on your machine when you set your area.

If changing the location does not stick you likely have 3rd party cookies disabled. Enable that and you can change the location. You may be able to disable third party cookies again once the cookie is set.
