"Find a game" broken

I live in Dallas/Fort Worth area, but entering anything in zip or city boxes causes Find A Game tool to say "Cannot find latitude & longitude for this location". So it's kinda useless for me. :(

I just did a search for gamers within 20 miles of Dallas and got 1916 results.

Could you take a screenshot for me?

I just got someone else say something similar on Twitter, so it seems its not just you. I really need to see that error message in some kind of context though.

DeathGaze, what OS are you using? I had problems with it as well on my Linux box using Chrome, but on Win7 using Chrome it worked just fine.

Weird, I used the same and it worked fine for me. Do you have any extensions running on your browser like SafeScript or ScriptNo?

I can't post links or images. My account is blocked because I have few too posts on my account. So I can't help you with any sort of screenshot or URLs unless you can tell me how to circumvent it. I have reproduced the problem in other browsers, so I'll just post up sample inputs that seem to break it.

These inputs have been tested in Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer 9 on Windows 7. Chrome is the only one that has any plugins whatsoever installed. The error is always the same: [h=2]vBulletin Message[/h] Could not determine latitude and logitude for specified address.
