    @Sagenlicht - 50KM I believe is about 33-35 miles (can't remember the exact conversion rate)

    @Turgenev - I thought so, I grew up about half way between Buffalo & Niagara Falls (a dumpy little place called the City of Tonawanda) so I was reasonable sure I was correct on the Toronto placement.

    I think those are probably mistakes.

    Do you think I should limit to the registered members and parse the username against the list and reject those not on the list ? The problem is with case sensitivity, underscores, spaces etc might make it reject the username. I can try to match with no case sensitivity and ignore spaces and so on but I know it always gets something wrong now and again. Still, there is no feind or 25 in the user list so I am not sure what to do. I am tempted to just leave it for now and see how it goes. If it gets bad then do something about it.

    Could you parse on # of posts or something? Maybe limit it to those with at least 5 posts - like PMing is currently set-up.

    Then maybe update it once/week, month, whatever is convenient.

    Ugh, I botched it.

    Redrobes: Could you change mine to Lat 40, Long -73? I don't live in the middle of Russia, I live in the dogpile of New York.

    Thanks!

    Ha!

    I screwed mine up as well, by not scrolling down to see the +/- convention. I entered my numbers with N and W, and cheerfully clicked the button.

    Some days there just isn't enough coffee in the world, I tell ya!

    I think it will just reject any input which is malformed like that so just try again. Looking at the map I dont think it added you to it. If it did then just put in waystar_attempt2 as your username and ill sort it out later.

    Edit - actually I see it did add you. Gimme a while and ill just flip the long coord to -ve. Ill look into checking the 'N' and 'W' chars as input. Maybe I can put that in as an optional style and adjust accordingly.

    Fixed you up... well that is I have put your dot at 40,-73 which is in the Atlantic Ocean. Maybe a few more digits might be advisable. Do you want to sit in Manhatten Central Park at 40.78,-73.97 ?
