I wonder if it has something to do with where the last ip is recorded from your ISP. Somebody who knows more about that might be able to tell us what is going on.

"I only see 20 Visitors loading! Where are all my others? Don't worry all of your visitors are saved! This map will only show 20 at a time!! This is to allow you to easily pinpoint each spot in an easier fashion. This will also make the map system & this page load a tad bit faster. So if you have more then 50 visitors you can cycle through the pages using the 'page navigation options' to the right of the map."

You have to get rid of the HTML code, and use forum code. So instead of " comands you will use [img] and [url] commands.

It will even work in the forum:


Here is the code I entered. Replace the " with [ and ]

"url"=//www.modmyprofile.com/map.php?id=255028]"img"//www.modmyprofile.com/worlds/255028.bmp"/img""/url"

This is cool, do you have the exact same map on on your myspace page? It seems to show all of the same dots.
10/28/2006 09:31:29 PM · #35
Ya, I just posted the same one. I figured one was enough. I don't get many myspace visitors. Maybe 1 a day. lol.

I just looked for my house on the map and it didn't have me there, it had someone from about 5 miles from me but not my place, interesting. Who lives in Pleasant Hill?
10/28/2006 09:45:10 PM · #37
The map puts me in Mt Eden Prison (auckland)!!! lmao!

Geolocation, such as what this website does, is very inaccurate. For example all the DNS information for my IP address places my IP in Mount Laurel, NJ when I'm really in Philadelphia, PA. There is no accurate way, currently, to gather this data. It's possible in many case to get close...

I'm in NY but it's not logging me.

I'm in Kansas, and I hit the thing on the first day you put it up. You're little thing isn't quite perfect on the location finding.

Dang. Where did it put you? It put somebody in the middle of the ocean. Maybe that should be what I am looking for. The craziest place it puts people.

well, okay, I tried it again from Home, and it sees me. From work the internet gateway must be in Virginia or something.

That makes some sense. I am not shooting for acuracy here...lol I just thought it would be sort of fun to see where everybody is from that checks this forum out.
10/29/2006 11:48:56 AM · #48
I'm also in Kansas, and I checked your profile page last night.
10/29/2006 11:53:31 AM · #49
That sucks. I bet I never get a mark on Wyoming. Not many cows have the internet.

Maybe yours will show up later today when it refreshes.
