Everyone sign the Straight Dope map!

Whoa. I think Abby lives close to me.

Neither can I. Oh well.

::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…

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.
