If you're experiencing this, is this happening AFTER you manually set your location? Manually setting your location should prevent it from auto updating.

I manually set it the other day to Toronto and it was just Scarborough until I changed it back.

On the same device right? Did you happen to clear your cookies by any chance?

According to RFD I am currently living in beautiful 100 Mile House, BC (wherever that is).

In reality I live on the other side of the country.

Shout out to 100 Mile House!!

Same here. I didn't know we had a city called Purpleville, Ontario! I had to wikipedia it. Not really a city... but RFD recognizes you!

I've noticed this happening for a while now as well, even after I manually reset my city. Anybody else been in The Peanut, ON yet?

I have been experiencing this regularly.

It doesn't really bother me because even when it was working properly, the section that has "deals in your area" commonly showed deals that were hundreds of kilometers or even provinces away from me.

Just got an update from the dev team. There is a temporary fix in place now which should make manually set locations stick around longer. A permanent fix is in the works and will be applied during our next release which is a couple weeks away. I'll post an update once the permanent fix is in.

Did you manually set your location since my update on the 29th?
