nope. How do I get it to show? I entered my location info, but I must be missing a step.

Did you click the Update button when you had finished editing your location?

I saved my location .... still didn't show ...Is it because I'm outside the U.S.?

You have to have 1000 posts before you are eligible for the highly sought after "Location" button. 8)

Seriously? If so, what's the reason for that?

LOL! No, not seriously. :laughing1:

I don't know why your button isn't showing up. I'm just having a bit of fun. :)

Whew.

Ok, here's what I do to set my location:

1) click "User Control Panel"
2) click "Edit Location"
3) enter text for location name, zone, and rainfall amount
4) enter zip code and click the button
5) enter "USA" in country
6) click and drag the marker on the map to the correct location
7) remove some of the digits in the lat. and long. boxes because they're too long (get a warning message)
8) click the "save" button at the bottom (or "update" since I've already done this)

If it's not mentioned above, I've left it blank or haven't done it.

Did I miss something?

I'll check it out. I have been out for a couple of days and just got back.

Update: There is a problem with the save/update code. :oops: I'll try to get to it tomorrow.

hey, it's working now!

Now how do I control the zoom level of the location map image that shows? Is that even possible?

Double click left mouse button to zoom in, right mouse button to zoom out.
