Heya folks,

I put some new features on the RFC map tonight. I also was going in
and trying to clean up some stuff...like multiple places for one
person..and some that seemed like they might be spam..or someone
trying to mess up things ....

Anyway, if you put a marker there, and want to redo it, you now have
the option of editing it yourself. BUT, you only have 1 hour from the
time you place that marker to redo it...or delete it. After that, I
still have to do the editing/deleting, etc.

Also, you can now search for your address as a way to place a
marker..it brings it down to street level.

If anyone wants to redo their markers..let me know.. I will make a
session of it tomorrow night...to clean up duplicates, etc. I can see
both views...both map, and the list...so tell me which one you need to
have removed. After that, you can fix things for an hour...after you
place a new marker.

Okay, I fixed it. New features are up and running. You can now edit
and delete your own...although still within that hour framework. And
you can do an address search. I took away the feature that would foil
spammers....but I may add it back.

Hmm - OK. I guess I was having a Jill moment. I thought it was
hosted someplace else. It used to be...

Hmm. My markers need to moved about 220 yards ENE. They used to be
right on according to the satellite map, but now they
re off a little bit ;-)

I've mentioned it...errr, "her"... a couple times. Nobody believes
it though. Which is fine with me. She's been on the map for a few
years as you probably noticed.

Still got some folks floating around in various oceans, I see

Someone (Cathy?) needs to update the instructions on the page to indicate
the new features and ability to "fix yourself" within an hour.

It *is* hosted elsewhere.... I just have links to it on the site for
'convenience'...

Cathy, can you put up something about the new features, and how much
time a person has to edit/delete their marker if they don't like what
it is, or if they got the placement wrong?

The edit function just lets you delete the one you put up, and replace
it with another pic, or something like that. It doesn't let you make
changes to the one you already put up...if you put a jpg up. You have
to make any changes to jpg first..then put it up. And if that doesn't
work for you, you can then take that one down and try again.

I already did that... I quoted the comments about the new features you
had in your first post...

I found the above a tad confusing, so I tried a 'test' marker myself and
added a .jpg to it, then hit the 'place' button. When I clicked on my
new marker it came up with the choice of 'edit' and 'delete'. I chose
'edit'. It popped up the placement box again, showed me the original
Name/Message comments I had, but not the path to the.jpg (that was
blank)..I changed the Name/Message, then I hit 'update'. It changed my
comments but kept the original .jpg. Then I went back to edit it again,
and changed the text and chose a different .jpg. That updated
everything. So, IOW, you can change the .jpg by replacing it with
another .jpg - but if you decide you don't want a pic after all, it
seems that you have to delete the whole marker and start again. Do you
agree?

I did the same... I agree... the jpg can't be removed without removing
everything.

Yes, it is just very, very basic editing functions like both of you
found out.

But, it is more than it was before! At least if you decide you don't
like what you did, you CAN change it,rather than waiting for me to
remove it, so you can try again.
