Hey all,

I can't seem to get a response from the findnearby or findNearByWeather services, or the domain ws.geonames.org... connection just timesout.

Does anyone know what is going on?

Cheers

Jax

The service is very slow at the moment because of too much demand.
We either find some sponsors to help cover the costs of additional servers:

or we will have to further reduce the max number of allowed credits on the free servers.

Best

Are there problems with the web service today? I cannot seem to connect to the search or findNearby services.
