User Map

Hi all.

I'm afraid I'm still the Invisible Man

I've tried refreshing a couple of times, so I'm now going to try topost a print screen of what I see here.
Having looked at Alex's map, I realise that mine is several other pins out of date.
Certainly I'd go with the idea of my laptop is still showing the version that existed when I first logged on, but not how to update it.
Having said that, my setup remembers me, so I don't have to log on afresh each time.
I'll try logging out after I've posted this, then logging back in, and see if that does the trick.

No change then.
I just logged out, then logged in again, but the map hasn't updated. I tried refreshing once more, but no effect.

Curiously, the only other problem I've ever had with logging in to forum type sites is with the PCAdvisor site. I can't get the site to remember who I am, even though I've been a registered user for many years, even before they changed their system. From that time forward, I've never had this facility, though I don't have this problem with any of the other sites(about 15) that I've registered with.

Probably just a coincidence.

I had a brainwave, and ran CCleaner to get rid of temp files and cookies, just in case it was an old cookie that was tripping me up.
Unfortunately, that had no effect whatever, so I'm still waiting my place in the sun, or wherever,

I really don't want to seem paranoid about this, but I'm still invisible.
The other thing I notice is that the total number of pins seems to be stuck at 251, so my map is stuck in time, with no updates.
I've tried logging off/on/refreshing all to no avail.
I've tried the other views as well, but they also only show 251 pins.
The result is that I've no idea if there are any other users within the area, which is a pity.

The map for me says the number of users is 256, but on the forum it says there are over 1000. Something does look broken with it.

The map only shows users which have entered an address for themselves.
If they don't then they don't show up on the map.

Hi Alex.
While that is undeniably true, it doesn't account for my observation, so I shall be interested to see if mozmck's comment relates to the same problem.

EDIT .. Having had a quick look at the map page, it says that you can't see any users if you are not logged in, so it appears to be an all or nothing change of view. My page also only refers to 256 users. While many of the users may well not have added their addresses, and it would be reasonable to assume that there will be a difference in the total number of forum users, and the number on the map, it's an odd coincidence that mozmck and I see the same number of users reported by the map page.

Hi mozmck.
Have you entered your address, and appear, or not ?
Is your reference to "..number of users.." the only problem you observe with the map ?
Does it work ok in the other "modes" for example? Mine behaves the same, whichever view I use.
