Topic: Member Map!

[Slack]

Bummer!

The Mac browser is having problems with the Member Map Javascript.  The only other thing I can think to try right now is to try the 'Netscape for Mac' browser.

Sorry I don't have Netscape.? It's worse on Internet Explorer than on Safari.  When I go to the map page on IE, everyone's dots are in the Antartic Ocean.

HI all:

About every third time I view the map the dots are in weird positions. However, if I click on each member's name in the list above the map one-by-one they return to their right place and stay there.

BG, well the only other thig I can think of is to borrow a friends Windows PC for 3 minutes (I know this is sacreligious) and place your pin. 

cheers,

Good idea Slack. This could be a new sport for Mac owners. Dare to be different.

I'm running a Mac and a PC.....and believe it or not they sit right next to each other on the desk (they even play well together). I've had no problems viewing the map on Safari. I have experienced the vanishing dot phenomenon though. It's fixed by clicking on the member names as described above.

Why do I have both? Because I use whatever tool works best for the job I'm doing. Creative stuff: Mac. Academic stuff: PC.

Were you able to "Place Your Pin" in Safari, or did you do that on the PC? That's the only thing I can't really do. Any Mac users able to "Place Your Pin"? Perhaps the Map is more of an academic pursuit?<G>
All for now.

I see the map and everyone's dots fine on the Mac in Safari. The problem comes when I try to place my pin somewhere.  When I put the crosshairs on Los Angeles, the pin ends up in the Antartic. When I open the map while in Explorer, EVERYONE'S pins seem to be in the ocean! Bg

[ozrkreb]

Honestly, I couldn't remember whether I placed my pin on the pc or the mac, so I went back and deleted my pin so that I could give it a try with the mac......and lo and behold, when I place the cursor over southern Missouri and click, my dot ends up at the bottom of the map. Using Internet Explorer (rather than Safari) the dot ends up over on the right side of the map. So obviously I used the pc to put the pin there in the first place. As Bluesygirl says, everyone else's dot looks fine.

Unfortunately, I'm not much help as to what could be causing this.

[Bluesygirl]

Well I am sad (still!) that neither of my browsers allow me to represent myself here in So Cal.  I don't have access to a PC really so if anyone figures out how to get me out of the Arctic Ocean, let me know!

What about telling me where you want your pin and I'll try and stick it in for you 

Now, no naughty suggestions, please

Thanks anyway Richard. If I had my choice, I'd rather do it myself. Otherwise, there's no link to my name/location. Bg

Slack,
Themap does not seem to be working this evening. Or is it just my machine,

Looks like it is broken - thanks for heads up - I'll look into it.
