Now if we could get our other Europeans to put in a pin, we might see a nice cluster over there.

I am both amused and frustrated. I can't find myself on the map but it says I'm there somewhere. And I don't think my pin(head) is in the right place. Are the locations editable by those they represent? Also, I tried both my browsers, Internet Explorer and Netscape, and didn't see "Members' map" in the Home dropdown. Maybe inputs are no longer available?

Socknitter - the staph have to approve before your pin appears on the map. It took forever for me to get listed (carried the rail too much, rode the horse too much, got drummed out of camp too often).

Sock:

Your pin is on the Kentucky/Virginia border. To find the map, go to post #1 of the thread. Whether you can change it or not, I couldn't begin to say. That's computer stuff. I was lucky enough to get my pin on there.

That's a long way from Richardson, Texas. I'd suggest you move that pin southwest a ways.


If you click on 'site map', up top, you can find a link to the map. Sometimes you get a small map which you cannot play with, just go back and try it again till you get a larger map at which you can move around,etc.

I have tried on several occasions to put a pin in the map but to no avail. I have sent an IM to the moderator never had a reply, perhaps that may be the reason there aren't many pins in the map from the other side of the ocean!
