Troubleshooting

That should do it. Then just click 'show images' for one city, and when your re-run your SearchTempest search, the setting should be remembered for all.

  • I know I'm closer to city: _____ than _____, but it's not showing up there in the list.

    Keep in mind that the distance is calculated as a straight line, rather than a driving distance. Also, some craigslist 'cities' are in fact general areas or even whole states. In those cases, the distance is generally calcuated from the center of the region.

    If you still think you've found a problem, please send me your address with zip code and the exact name of the craigslist city or cities that appear out of place. I'll try and get it fixed ASAP.

    If you could paste the URL of the results page you get (ie: http://www.searchtempest.com/results.php?...") into the email, that might help too.

  • I've got another issue that wasn't covered here.

    Your question might be answered in the general info below. If not, here are a few general things to try when things don't seem to work right. (In fact, these steps can be useful when any website isn't working for you.)

    • Make sure your browser is up to date

      First off, make sure you have the latest version of your web browser. You can download the latest versions here: Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer.
      To check the version you currently have, look for 'About' under the Help menu.

    • Clear your browser's cache

      Occasionally old or corrupt files can become stuck in your browser. To clear them out, just follow the instructions here for 'clearing your cache'.

    • Clear cookies

      This one's easy - to clear all cookies from SearchTempest, just click here. You will, however, lose any saved search information.

    • Disable add-ons

      While modern web browsers themselves are usually pretty well built, add-ons can often contain bugs. If you use add-ons (aka extensions), even if they seem completely unrelated to SearchTempest, try temporarily disabling them (and restarting your browser). If that solves the problem, you can then enable them systematically to see which is the culprit.

    And if NONE of that works, take a look at the forums. There's lots of useful info there already, and more being added every day. Feel free to post your question there if you don't see the answer already. I check them regularly.
