And I am having essentially the same problem using my friends old Mac with IE running in OS9. When I view the world map, everybodies pins are somewhere above the user listings! Except Mr blind rat, who appears to be just north of Korea. When I try to place a pin on SF it appears off the Baja Penninsula. Was this map program created by Bill Gates by any chance?
All for now.

Nope, created by an amatuer programmer - so you may not be any better off. ;)

I'll ask on the support board and see if Macs and the Safari browser are a problem.

Thanks,

I think the map is really great  :)

Looks as though there are nearly enough Weenies in Seattle to have a chapter, coven, convent, congress or whatever a conflagation of Weenies is   ;D

Visually it makes up for the intermittent juke reception from totally my useless DSL comnection since I can now look at the map and imagine the music wafting forth..  ::).
(That's enough of that. Ed)

Richard,
How about a "Whoop" of Weenies.  :)

Wow...    There's another country blues fan within 12 miles or so of me!   What a wonderful discovery.    :)

Note to American Weenies:

I see that aside from a N. Carolinian, a Missourian and a couple of Texans all the map posts are from Democratic states.

Don't Republicans get the blues?

Now Alex, are you trying to bait us Americans... hmm?

If we keep the politics to the 1920's and 1930's  -- it won't matter what colored state... and as a bonus, we'll be more in line with the purpose of the forum!   ;)

Cheers and thanks,

So, back home on my Cube with Safari. No problem viewing, everyone seems to be where they should be. I placed my pin using the World map and left it where it appeared, about 2-3000 miles due west of Tierra del Fuego. At least it's the nice time of the year down here.
All for now.

Edit- Actually, Shelley seems to have moved Vancouver up to the arctic circle. BRRRR! Wrong time of year for that Shelley.

JohnC, I posted a query in the Member Map topic about Macs and the Safari browser - but no one has replied and I see no other reference to Macs or Safari - so it is indeed weird..  I'll keep checking - but I'm glad at least you've become an earthling.

cheers,
slack

edit:  Shelley has had too many Corona's.   :P

I notice Uncle Bud, known Safari user, is also lost in space, Perhaps he keeps landing in Argentina?

Waxy, why not try sticking it somewhere (nice) at random. It could well end up nearer SF.

Something to try John.... and I quote:

"You may have to refresh the javascript file in your cache. It is updated by the mod and most browsers won't notice the new functions until you do."

Try emptying the cache in your browser.

I have been lost in space for far longer than the Member Map has been in place.

I tried emptying the cache in Safari and I still end up off the map.  Doesn't work in Explorer either.  :-\
