I'm told I'm running the correct version when I check for updates,

Lisa, in that case, if it will let you, I'd install
the update again, even if it tells you it's running the latest version. The main
version number is the same, 4.5, but it is definitely an update. Try that
first.
If that doesn't do it, uninstall the add-on, then
install the latest version. Of course you'll have to set your cities again
after, but hopefully the first idea works before resorting to that.

Hi Travis,
I just tried doing the update through NVDA's menu and was told an
update is not available. Should I just try to uninstall and then
reinstall from this point then?
Oh, and my husband, Marcus, who knows you from a previous
marriage of his that you were a guest of says hi.

Hi Lisa
is this the first time you have used this add on? If it is and it is installed use the nvda key + letter n to get into nvda preferences. Arrow to general settings then down to the weather plus add on.
n
When you get to the add on a sub menu will come off it and say nset and manage your settings press the enter key on it.
the next screen will give you a whole eahp of options. The very first place where it lands will let you put in a town or ciy etc. In my case i say put hawera then tabbed to a button that says Test
This testing the validity of city woeID entry and find the name of city assigned, or v then pressed the space bar. It will then come up with some results. You can then arrow down the results and when you find the one you want use the tab key so it lands on
the ok button then press the space bar.
it will then take you back to where you typed in the name of the town or city tab once it will land you on a button that will give you details to make sure it is the correct town or city tab again and it will give you the option to add it to the list press
the space bar on it.
You can also keep on tabbing and there will be other options to choose from just use the space bar to check or uncheck the boxes you want to hear. make sure you tab to the ok button then press the space bar for it to take affect.
You can also preset that place as your default when you press the nvda key + letter W
You can also add more places by repeating the steps to add more places.
If you say added 4 you can get to them quickly by pressing the nvda key + ctrl key + shift key + letter W then arrow down the list to the one you want to hear from with nvda key + W.
hope the above helps.

Hi Lisa,
Here's what I'd do. The servers were recently
changed on the updates, so, for slightly older versions, updates either won't
download, or the program says there are none.
Download the latest version from the first link in
Adriano's recent email:
It shouldn't take long. When you have it, install
it by pressing enter on the file. When NVDA tells you that a version already
exists, tab to the yes button to override the previous installation. When you
are prompted to, and after you restart NVDA, you will then have the latest
version.
I just saw that Gene New Zealand gave you detailed
instructions on how to set it up if you are a first time user.
Hope this helps, and things finally get
sorted.
I actually don't remember Marcus, but let's talk
about that off list, but tell him hi for me too.

Hi Adriano,
I noticed in the latest update that in the English System
measurements, the period pronounced in English as dot has been
replaced by the comma (,). For example, the barometric pressure
is reading as 29,29 rather than 29.29.
Incidentally, the barometric pressure discrepancies of about .5
MM of mercury is still prevalent and has been without change for a
year now.

Ron, the us is likely the only country that still uses the period
as a number separator anymore. Many many countries use the comma
as a separator, so the us is in the minority here. To me, it
makes more sense to use a period for decimals, and commas for
digit separation, but that's probably because that's what I've
seen all my life. I'm sure it would be different if I'd been
raised in Europe or some place similar that does things backwards.

Hi Adriano,
I noticed in the latest update that in the English System
measurements, the period pronounced in English as dot has been
replaced by the comma (,). For example, the barometric
pressure is reading as 29,29 rather than 29.29.
Incidentally, the barometric pressure discrepancies of about
.5 MM of mercury is still prevalent and has been without
change for a year now.

Suggesting that "the US is likely the only country that still uses the period [dot] as a number separator" is rather extreme. According to the wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_point these are the countries which use a dot as the decimal separator: Australia Bangladesh Botswana British West Indies Brunei Cambodia Canada (when using English) China, People's Republic of Hong Kong Macau Dominican Republic Egypt El Salvador Ghana Guatemala Honduras India Ireland Israel Japan Jordan Kenya Korea, North Korea, South Lebanon Luxembourg Malaysia Maldives Malta Mexico Myanmar Nepal New Zealand Nicaragua Nigeria Pakistan Palestine Panama Philippines Puerto Rico Singapore Sri Lanka Switzerland Taiwan Tanzania Thailand Uganda United Kingdom United States Zimbabwe That's quite a lot more than "only the US" :) Antony.

I didn't say it was the only country, I said it was likely the only country. Note the likely word. That means that it's possible that the us was the only one doing so, not a solid fact. I knew that Canada used it, (but as the article pointed out, only in the english speaking parts, not in the french speaking portion), so I discounted that, because it wasn't the whole country doing so.
Admittedly, I wasn't aware of most of the other countries listed, but that's precisely why I said likely instead of definitely.

Similar to the metric system? Though the metric
makes more sense, with everything done by tens, I still like my twelve point
ruler. LOL!

How do people differentiate between separation of large numbers
