Blue Marble Maps in Forum Posts

Hi, what has happened to the wee blue marble map that comes up under your name when you hover over the plan icon? Is this a function that has been affected by the change of server earlier in the month or is everyone else still seeing this and it is just me that can't?

I love this feature. Cheers me up to see what I have planned!! 8D

One of those 'bugs' for Pete to work on when he gets a chance. :)

Ah no problem. Just glad to know it not just me on my mac!

No rush Pete - I'm sure I can survive without it!

Does Pete know this is broken? I also like to see the little map and the lines. Little things please little minds I suppose :w

As usual , when something like this happens I always assume it is something to do with my computer or something I have done wrong. So delighted to know " I am not alone !"
:D

Actually, this one turned out to be an easy fix - thanks for the heads up (even though the wifi in the Air New Zealand lounge at LAX is soooo slow, making uploading the new file more of a challenge than squishing the bug!)

... although it seems no one has any flights planned, so I may have spake to soon!

Will look at this once back in Blighty.

Mine hasn't worked for months... still doesn't! I assumed that with ten long haul flights a month, I'd killed it....

Probably more likely that Sarastro has an obscure airport code in the list that isn't in the database... I'll have a looky now.

Problem identified. Sarastro is flying from BSL - Basel Mulhouse, which was in the database, but under the French ICO code of MLH. I've added another record for BSL so the map now works for him too ;-)

Sorry - I've killed it again... I suspect that the system doesn't like DWC (the new Dubai Airport!)

Seems to be a little bit of both - DWC wasn't in the database (now is), but there's a secondary issue that I've had to escalate to the ISP for a quick fix...

Amazing - thanks Pete!

Thinking about it, I ought to write some code that skips a leg if it doesn't find the airport rather than fails the whole map (although I guess that means we'd probably never spot when there were gaps…)
