Fell off the map
-
Hey everyone, I am looking into the issue… I don’t see anything specific yet, but there does seem to be some weird things happening I’m still tracking down.
Just so everyone knows how we get a location, we don’t lookup based on IP address or any other “creepy” method. There is a form field when you edit your profile for location. You can put in just a city/state or put a full address. Any address or location information you put here will get geocoded and inserted into the map.

Austin Thanks Austin, if not just out of curiosity, I wonder about it all. You should not be burning that Midnight Oil so much though.

Austin thanks for looking into this. Just so you know, many of us were already on the map, and without changing anything in my settings, I’m gone. My location of Foxboro, Wi is still in my location box and I tried to resave and it still don’t work.

Austin Same thing happened to me as Kyle, now you see me, now you don’t. If it is just team orange people I would do an investigation into Jonathan!

bocephus I was looking for a commonality between users it was happening to, and I did investigate to see if some Team Blue jackwagon (cough Jonathon) was messing with things, but I have cleared them of all charges. Team Blue is actually innocent and Jonathon had nothing to do with it. I have not found any correlations yet between users it is affecting.

Austin Sounds like someone in the background linked the location data to an older version when they republished the website. Also, maybe someone in the background put a limit on the objects to be shown. Just some added info: Map info on the Meatgistics app comes up. But, with less than the whole. The Maps link on the Meatgistics PC login (meatgistics.waltonsinc.com/topic… etc url) does not stay “up”. It flashes a page. Then, reverts back to the previous page a user was on. Now, it’s back. See below. Good luck!

Austin hahaha! I love the term jack wagon!

Austin I also checked my location and Bismarck ND was still listed. I did re-save and I am still not on the map so who knows? Maybe it doesn’t like that I’m in a flyover State…lol!
-
It’s still broken, I put my full address in and saved it and still have fallen from existence on the map. I even checked Hawaii thinking I had flown back to my other home.

Austin I would go as far as saying team Blue is innocent with that leader!

I’m not there any more either. Only 2 of us in Nevada swampthing and me so it’s not overcrowding.

Austin
Added my full address and saved. Showes up correctly in the profile but still no on the map -
FYI I have a ticket open with NodeBB on this. Sorry guys, I don’t know if there is a known issue or not but hopefully we will find out. The map is taking forever to load too.

Jonathon Thanks Jonathan, it is nice to see where people are from, last time I was on the map I was the lone representative from NM.

julian I’ve tried with and without zip code, all caps, no caps, some caps, 2 letter abbreviated state, whole name for state, zip code only, no comma between city/state, gps coordinates, and the 7 digit city code from openstreet and nothing worked for me.
-
Ridley Acres Yes, updating the map is currently broken. You shouldn’t need that much granularity in the address, although it does help.
-
Okay, I THINK we have it fixed. I have made sure that the map loads much much faster and I updated our token. I was hoping this would load people who had been on and fallen off but it does not seem to have. I will continue to do some more testing throughout but for new users I think we are good for now!
-
Ah, okay, it might not have loaded fully yet, it looks like it needs to restart to do that. Okay, google analytics says we have no one on at the moment so i am going to restart Meatgistics. I don’t trust that no one is on but that is what it is saying, so sorry to anyone I am about to kick off.
