The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

All at Sea

Post by The Zee » Tue May 14, 2013 12:08 pm

On the members map I seem to be 10 miles out in the North Sea, off the Norfolk coast when in fact I am in Sussex. I know the Jimny is good off road, but come on! :S

That any better :thumbup: you need to drag it to where you are when first set up, the map doesn't use your profile location ;)

might still be issues with the map to be honest, It was designed to work with an older version of PHPBB and I think the developers gave up on it so it doesn't work as well as it used to, I'll move you ;)

When you are in the user control panel and go to set the location, the map will always start with your marker bang in the middle. If you hover your mouse pointer over it, it will change from an arrow to a hand.
This means you are over the marker, then pick up and move.

As Scottie says, its an old map. I've been trying to get it working properly again for a while but its not playing ball!
