I noticed that..LOL

Sheldon, if you want me to delete you, I can.. Then you can zoom way,
way in, and put yourself in the correct place, before you add your
icon!!!

Why doesn't that surprise me. OTOH there is really good fishing on Lake
Superior so perhaps he has some good recipes for cooking fish

PS. Sheldon, I just funning with you. So far you've been ok with me.
As long as it stays that way no problems on my end. Now do you have any
good fish recipes?

Let me delete your first ones, okay?

Anyone else want to be deleted, so they can correct their placement?

You all realize, that I am totally addicted to this site, and I

I don't know...LOL

The best thing I can suggest is that I delete you, and you redo it.
Let me know what you want to do.

I am still playing with it too..

I changed it so if you all run your cursor over the icons, it will
show you who is who.. I can change it back to where you have to click
on an icon if you all want.

Not necessarily African American but could easily be another person of
colour such as Asian, Native American, or whatever. Perhaps he is
funning just to get a rise out of some who notice. I must have missed
his racist posts but IMO racism has no place in any food discussion. As
long as the food is good, what the heck.

The problem is anyone could have placed his name there and picked an Icon.

I doubt it was penmart01.

If he was going to hoodwink yous guyz - he would have placed an icon on Flatbush
Ave. in da borough.

I figured it out. I have my Javascript settings very tightly
controlled, so the option for allowing JS to change images wasn't set.

Thanks.

Very cool! But when I click on where I want to add my marker, it just
displays Charlene's or Becca's marker (because I live in the same metro
area as both of them). How do I add my own without moving too far away
from that area?

Read later messages... I gave more explicit directions. I am still
figuring this out.

If you want me to delete your icon, I will..then you can zoom in
BEFORE adding your icon..that way you can get it approximately in the
right place.

You should download the extension for Firefox that allows a Right click and "View
this page in IE". Some pages don't view in firefox, but this one does, but maybe
you don't have Java activated or your Adv blocker prevents it showing?

Thanks, Christine! Go ahead and delete my icon.

Everyone,

It has been wonderful with folks adding themselves to this map!!

I am giving Damsel and Jill access to the admin page, so they can help
with deleting folks that need to redo their icons/markers. Just let
us know which markers need to be deleted.

They can also help any of you that need help with zeroing in on your
address....

AlleyGator, if you zoom in enough you can put your icon right on your
street.

My old version of netscape did the same - I opened the SBCYahoo browser that

What's wrong with your map? I found that they mislabelled the main road in
my town.
