::sniff:: Logged in to see all of the NZ dopers and found Ice Wolf but discovered that I had been bumped. I’d really love to see everyone on the map. ---

Boy if this was Risk Canada and Mexico would be in deep, deep trouble. I love maps. I really wish we had a way to go all out on one of these. I tried to give my data the last time we did this but I was too late and the keeper had stopped updating by then. Reading through I see a lot of people have been bumped so far. I wonder how long I’ll last. Probably be gone by morning. ---

Why does my pin in Naples, Italy keep getting deleted? Three times now… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Baker \* > \*\*I must be an idiot, but I still can’t figure out how to place my pin, and get myself on the map. \*\* I had a heck of a time too, it’s a little touchy when it gets crowded, this is what worked for me: 1. click on the link (d’uh) 2. Get rid of the Welcome Message and hit the ZOOM button 3. Click on the map and drag it so your State/Country/Planet is in the center. 4. Click on the ZOOM button again 5. Click on the POST button, and then click on the place you live. 6. Enter NAME, and a COMMENT-maybe where you live. hit SUBMIT 7. The flag will/should turn into a ‘pin’. That should be it. NOTE: You can’t put one right where someone else is. so if a box pops up with someone elses city, you’ll have to move yours. If you try putting yours on someone elses, as soon as you type it’ll kick you out. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/everyone-sign-the-straight-dope-map/201090.md?page=5)
