Well, it sure missed some. Still though, the old maps didn't add anybody at all, you had to manually add your pin so I guess it's a little better anyway. Did you move your marker?

Hey, you were obviously there and just don't remember.

Good idea. You can move your marker. This map uses Mapquest and apparently isn’t 100% accurate.

You can edit posts but there was a 5 minute limit on doing so. I just changed the permission for Supporting Members to be able to edit at any time. I don't know if it's retroactive but I think it is. Please take a look. Click on the three dots at the upper right of your post.

This software does not recommend TapaTalk due to security and many other issues. They do not officially support it. That being said, TapaTalk tells me that they are developing a plug-in that will enable it to work but say that it's 2 to 3 weeks out. This forum actually scales automatically and appears to work very well on phones without TapaTalk. Have any of you tried it. It seems very good to me.

Neither are you.

No, we had a member map on the old site also. So far, I’ve found no solution for the flags.

For 12 years, I worked for a Hong Kong based company importing and selling automated electroplating machines. Primarily for plating circuit boards but also general metal finishing. The macherery ran on Programmable Logic Controllers, mostly Allen Bradley and Omron but the operators interface was all on Unix so I had to do a lot of work with it. I later installed a version of it on one of my computers and it worked fine but sometimes getting certain programs to work was a royal pain. Mind you this was all close to 20 years ago. There have been a lot of changes since then. I do most overlying on my MacBook Pro now. Been using them for several years now and can honestly say that I've had zero issues and not a single crash. I do have Parallels installed so run Windows 10 on the rare occasion that I need a Windows program that I can't find, inexpensively, for the Mac.

OK folks, I am done. If you find that your membership is expired and you think that it shouldn't be, please send me a message, email, etc. and I will look into it.

Still working on this. It is a long and tedious process that involves going through a full year of PayPal memership payments, getting that info for each member, going to their profile and moving them back to the supporting members group. I have done 8 months so far, so 4 more months to go. Should finish it later today.

Well, not that small. I know that some have lost their membership status. It was due to a bad cron task that I added this morning to sort the member, expired members, etc. I am working on it and hope to have it all back to normal soon.

I've added a new "Members Map" and the link is in the menu bar at the top called "Community Map". You don't need to do anything, it will add you automatically if your country, state, etc. are in your profile. It will take a few days before it adds everybody. It only adds 100 per day due to API key restrictions and etc. So please be patient. Also, only Supporting members will be listed.

They do expire after some time though. I’ll have to look , don’t remember how long.

No, very likely my comprehension skills. Or lack there of.

Maybe I just figured it out. Commented on means that you actually posted a response, Reacted to means that you click on the "Like, Thanks, etc" button.

Oh...and I don't understand your first question at all.

I'm not sure what you mean. If you click "Quote" in one of your own posts, then that is what you will get, a copy of that post. The purpose of the quote button, same as the old site, is to quote something another member has posted. For example, if you are reading a list of news posts and there is ONE that you wish to reply to, you hit quote and then people know which post your are replying to. Otherwise, if you jut post at the bottom of the thread, it may be confusing as to which post your are addressing

The lake is actually pretty large. We were down at the tail end of it. Never actually even made it to the main part. As for water on the boat, man, you don't know how to live. The evenings were quiet chilly. Felt great to jump in that hot tub. As for the cheesecake, it wasn't around long enough to get a picture.

I haven't found a replacement for the state flags. I've found one for the country flags but not the state. I'm still looking.

OK...you can now give Thanks, Like, Etc. for a post. You won't see it on your own post because a member can't rate their own post but you can on anybody else's. Just click on the heart at the lower right of the post.

I don't think you can yet. I'll be looking into that though.

Actually, they are slides and both Brad and I DID go down them. I think we have a video somewhere but not on my phone.

LOL...you are entirely correct about that my OLD friend.

One thing different about this software is that you cannot link to URLs in the Gallery. You ave to upload your pictures from your computer to this site. I actually like it better this way because I hate linked files in the Gallery, the posts, etc. The reason is that there have been a number of good tech articles written where the pictures were linked to as URL off this site. They ended up getting deleted and now they can[t be found. So, I say all of that to say this. If you have a gallery, please check it and make sure that your pictures are there. If not you will need to upload new ones. I will start deleting empty galleries but it will take a good bit of time.

You know, I honestly got no pictures of the houseboat. Maybe Squidley did? I'm not sure.
