Well, try it with the (United Kingdom). That was all I needed to get it
on. I'm pretty sure Sittingbourne is larger than B'north. .. In message , Kate Dicey writes Patti wrote: Did you put 'England, (United Kingdom)' Kate? It seems to prefer that designation. I got in on Bridgnorth after I had put it that way. Before that it wouldn't even take Shrewsbury. I just typed in Sittingbourne... It then popped up 'Sittingbourne, England', but when I hit the enter button it rejected me! -- Best Regards pat on the hill |

If you make the map big, it shows the names of more places. (if you
make it so that you can see 6 'rungs of the ladder' towards the + on the slidey tool). If you click on the appropriate name it will show the name and England, UK in blue. Click on this and hey presto - or thats what worked for me.) (Looking back, I think I clicked on the name, didn't type it in, or did I! no sure I just clicked on the appropriate name) -- Sally at the Seaside~~~~~~~ http://community.webshots.com/user/sallyswin On Wed, 16 Nov 2005 12:32:33 +0000, Kate Dicey wrote: nzlstar* wrote: http://www.frappr.com/rctq hurry up girl!!! jeanne Grump!

My 'pop up' was Aldeburgh, England (United Kingdom). Perhaps it needs
both. Sittingbourne is on their map. -- Sally at the Seaside~~~~~~~ http://community.webshots.com/user/sallyswin On Wed, 16 Nov 2005 18:04:19 +0000, Patti wrote: Well, try it with the (United Kingdom).

Ok. I haven't been keeping up with the Frapper notes, so maybe I'm missing
something. But I don't see much point to this map. I think maybe I don't know how to use it. I thought you'd be able to zoom in and see a tag where someone is. When I click on my name, it says where I am, but puts my label way up in Quebec. Now I love it in Quebec, but I'm in NH. I saw a note here where someone said it showed them living 2 miles from where they really are. How can you tell? -- LN in NH (Who has been beading more than quilting in the last 2 years) "Roberta" wrote in message news:5Sqef.7621$mm5.5607@dukeread03... well I added myself...sure did think I added myself in the right place...I am about hmmm a mile off. Guess that's ok since I really don't want to give away exactly where the stash is Roberta (in VA) |

But all I put in was my city, and I think that where the tag is is the geo center of the town. liz young in cool (rescue) california |

LN, its not really a "pin point" map, even though there are pins in it.
The pin that shows is the center of the zip code you enter. The balloon with words and maybe a picture shoots up to the right from the pin and shoots up more or less depending on how big the picture and how long the shout out. Think of this more as a way to organize S.E.X or meet-ups, rather than stash raids :-) I just checked and there are 202 people pinned as of 6:50 am PST. It is possible that some are non-rctq'rs who sneaked in before I made the map private (like Sergio in SF with his photo of the rapid transit train), but I think most are actual rctq members and I think its neat to see who lives where. I'm a visual learner and just hearing the name of a state or country isn't as "real" as seeing a map. JMHO.

How much quilting time could you be getting in if you weren't doing such a wonderful job administrating this thing? I'm sure it will slow down in time. Again, great job. Frank Reid |
