Lexx Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Word of caution when using this feature guys. The forum is open to anyone and viewable by anyone. So try not to use your exact location (via the GPS feature) as you are advertising where your shiny car is to anyone and everyone. 3 Quote
Stutopia Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 I tried to manually key in a nearby location on mobile and desktop safari, the Save button was there but did not respond at all. Anyone tried deleting a location yet? That took me a few minutes Quote

I've avoided the GPS feature, just pinned myself in a field in my town. Haha I'm well happy with the feature. 1 Quote

Lexx Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Disabled this app for now. It's far too buggy for some users and generating a ridiculous amount of error emails to the admin address (Over 200 emails). 1 Quote
modo Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Good move, i was getting issues too. Though I thought if was our IT at work. Quote
Lexx Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 I'll speak to the developer of the software and see if we can sort things out. 1 Quote
Ebized Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Looking down the list of members there is some editing needed, I would suggest as it includes some who have been permanently banned (remembering from my days as a moderator) or sadly have passed away. Quote

That's the old one Col. We tested an integrated one yesterday which the one we're talking about. Quote

Lexx Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Right folks. Issues/bugs seem to have been worked out. Manual location input now works. So we've enabled it's use again (can be found in your drop down bar on mobile and on the left side bar on desktop. Enjoy. 4 Quote
Ekona Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Can't do it on PC, Firefox. Or if you can, it's not an obvious option at all. Quote

Glad it's not just me, I tried a few after I GPS'd myself. Not quite sure how, but I navigated to here and I could delete there. Can non admin/mods use that link? Quote
Mik Du Posted July 20, 2017 Author Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) I can use the link but I can't see a delete option, just an edit. Edited July 20, 2017 by Mik Du Quote
Stutopia Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 So when I check the check box I get a pop up with a trash can at the bottom (this is on iPad) Quote

You can tell, and it seems we have improved control over the functionality, where as before we were fairly restricted. I keep finding new things, it's like moving house Quote
Justthejedi Posted September 26, 2017 Posted September 26, 2017 Can you remove your location from the map if need be??? Quote
