    Just looked at my equipment and discovered everything is now in pounds.  It was not this way when I entered it.  Is there a way to change it back to dollars?

    an amazing likeness

      Just a guess...have you checked your Locale settings to make sure its not set to the UK ?

          Currency is now set separately from country.

           

           

          Go back  to Options/Locale Settings again, and adjust the drop down for Weight Unit.

           

          The same thing happened to me after the big RA upgrade -- my units got changed, and I went to Locale Settings and fixed them back.

          It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

            Okay, I am now back at dollars.  Unfortunately, that apparently means I have to go by kg for weight.  Pooey.  I always went by pound, even if I am from Canada.  Oh well...at least it'll make me sound lighter.

              keeponrunning,

              The distance, weight and temperature units are independent of your locale information so you can set them to whatever you like.  The currency symbol information is obtained from your browser.  When you connect to any website, your browser will include the default language and location.  RA uses this information to format date and numbers.  Where are you located?

                same issue here....  Currency is now in £

                 

                I am in Canada..... here are my settings....

                  Looks like Eric is correct (as usual).

                   

                  My Firefox had English - United Kingdom as the first language...... I changed it to English [en]

                      I was going to figure out how to display my weight in stone but I lost track of what I was doing and then I got really hungry.

                        Find many big stones, and a long plank. Balance the plank's middle on one stone. Balance yourself at one end, and figure out how many stones it takes to counterbalance you at the other end.

                         

                         

                        Oh, you said "display". Sorry, carry on.

                        It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

                          Now I want chicken planks. 

                           

                           

                          (Does long john silver still have these?  In actuality, my belly hurts just thinking about chicken planks and "chips", which at LJS did not mean french fries... it meant little bits of fried batter... )

                             Thanks...I now have it set correctly.  Didn't quite realize that they were seperate.

                              If you're in Canada, you should set your language to en-CA.  En stands for English.  Since English is spoken in many countries, and different countries use different unit systems, you should also include the country.  Canada's country code is CA.  For US, it's en-US.  In the UK, it's en-GB.
