Did you try it after changing it back? It doesn't show anything in Google earth.

moved and stickied, do you want this cleaned up to only show OP? or do we want this to be 100 pages long?

I moved this so it would be at the top and stickied, will this be okay?

Not sure about that, it would be nice to have just the OP, but need to make sure I don't miss anyone who wants to be added. Don't really need it to be 100 pages.

I exported the folder file from the left-hand bar of Google Earth by right-clicking it and emailing it to myself, and then saving the received attachment to upload. I'm not sure where the file should be re-loaded, it has been in my Google Earth for years. I think if you just right-click on the correctly named .kmz file, select "Open With," and then select Google Earth it should load.

I just re-tested my Google Earth. If I click the check box next to the folder on the list to turn on that "layer," all the push-pins appear on Google Earth. If I click a push-pin, I get at least a location, and often a thumbnail plus a short message if they were also added.

p.s. I think I remember the name of the obsolete program that let people enter their points on a web page was called Frappr.

Do we need to add something about pm'ing person for a lay over like couch surfing?

You created a monster here. It is amazing how it has grown.
One thing, how will we know when someone sells and leaves the group?
Otherwise their icon/flag stays on the map.

Oops, I had to retype a bunch of names yesterday, sorry. I'm working on improving the whole thing and my original cut and paste didn't work anymore. I had a really cool map that I did a few years ago, but google has changed things and the script I used no longer works. Well the old one still works, I just can't figure out how to reproduce it with a new list.

I have no idea, unless they tell me which is unlikely.
