Is it just me or is anyone else having problems with the map?

When you look here: http://map.datastormusers.com/user1.cfm?user=2257 it shows us in the list as being in the right area of Rockledge, Florida.

However, when we click on our number, 1539, on the big map, it shows we're still in Georgia.

I've restarted our computer, cleaned temp files and done everything else I know how to do. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Geri

Geri,
The link in your post is for Tom and Diane, not for your selves. The link to you ends in 1539. Some how you have moved them rather than your selves! Check your settings in program.

I think they were showing a link they knew would show them on the list - if they used their link, it showed them on the map where they used to be.

This happens when the map program crashes and doesn't recover. Not as common as it once was, but it always picks a time when I'm away from the computer (on the road, this time) so I don't get the e-mail that it is down for quite awhile. About 4 hour outage this time.

Now I understand. Don, go outside and pick a few oranges - they should be sweet this time of year!

Stephen, did you pick one of the 'stock' avitars or did you try to upload an avitar to the internet and reference it?

I would like to know how to creat the link to the User Map without posting the http...etc.

I see several users have "Where am I today", "Find ME Here", ....etc.

How is this done?

Diesel Dan. Look down under Quick Reply. Click where is says 'UBB Code is enabled'. That will give you a quick tutorial on how it's done. Basically it's like HTML except that you enclose everything with the Square Bracket [ or ] instead of the < or >

I.e. [url=http://your url map address]I am here[/url]

Thanks.
