When I click on the Show Report button it opens a new tab in Chrome but doesn't load anything (just says about:blank). I've tried googling this to find a solution but can't find anything. Can someone assist why this doesn't show the report?
I have exactly the same problem also on Chrome and also on Firefox. I reported this hear before, but so far nothing, I am still waiting so I could start using this script :)...
+1, also checking in to say this is what my Validator is pulling up. I thought it was due to me trying to get the UK Localisation sorted, but I guess it's happening to more people?

Yeah, maybe this brawl belongs in the "Localization" forum. :D
I know that the Localization forum is not about this.

While I really like this script, there is one problem with it that has been annoying. There are times when it tells me some of the roads might an incorrect city name, but I know the city name is correct for all those roads. No matter what I do, this message keeps showing up.

Is there a way to keep that from happening?

Could you please give a permalink?

Thanks!
Sorry, berestovskyy, I missed your reply before. Here's the link you wanted:

https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=5&lat ... TTTTTTTTTT

Here's a copy/paste of the report was issued for that area:

Might be incorrect city name [only available in the report]
What is the problem? The segment might have incorrect city name: wiki reference
How to fix? Consider suggested city name and use this form to rename the city: forum

Greater Manlius Area — consider this city name: Greater Manlius Area [correct letter case]
Medical Center Dr, Greater Manlius Area

There are many more, around 200 from what I see. What I noticed is that it says it might not be the correct city, and to change it to Greater Manlius Area, but that's what all of them are already.

Otherwise, I love this script. :D

I can adjust the check so instead of "[correct letter case]" it will report "[identical names ID/ID]". Or shall we just ignore those duplicate city names?
To me it doesn't matter since it doesn't show up on the map now, only in the reports. The main thing I'm worried about is if the wrong city name will give problems to people trying to get to an address where there's identical names. If it won't cause a problem for them, then I'm fine with it.

One thing I have noticed in the past couple of days is that the color indicators aren't flashing any more. That doesn't bother me, but when I zoom in they tend to disappear until I zoom out then back in. I don't know if that's a problem with the validator or not, I just thought I'd mention it.

Also, since I'm mentioning things, I also have the "Toolbox" installed, but if I run that while I'm running the validator I'm unable to make any changes on the map. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling both scripts, but I have the same problem. For now I have the toolbox turned off. Any ideas on that?

Can't reproduce :( Could you please give step-by-step instructions?
All I do is enable the extensions in Google Chrome. I just tried it again and I can highlight the streets, but I can't click on the arrows, move the nodes, or make edits to the street information. Others I've talked to haven't had this problem, and I've checked to make sure everything is up to date, including Chrome.

The toolbox does have some features in it that I like, but the validator works better for me. I guess I'll just have to leave the toolbox off. Thanks for checking on it. :)

A quick question, although I'm sure it's been addressed before. There are some roads that are "horseshoe" roads with the starting and ending points connecting to the same road. Is there any way to change it so an option of "Allow" or "Accept" is possible? In the area I live in, there's a ton of these and the only way to keep them from showing up in the reports is to put in a phantom road. If it is removed later, then there's an extra node that needs to be fixed. If we can look at these and say it's allowed, that would help a lot.

Here's a permalink to one I'm talking about:

https://www.waze.com/editor/?zoom=5&lat ... s=34087937

Emmons Circle is the horseshoe with both ends connecting to Wolcott Hill Street.

Thanks Alan, that's all I needed to know. I don't always have the time to read all of the threads and posts, that's why I started out with the comment that it might have been brought up before.

Validator disappeared from Firefox on both my PCs a few days ago. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, only using that script, etc. and nothing seems to work. It does however work in Chrome.
