Thanks Peter - javascript should be enabled, I could star your post.

How can I test the zooming with my browser? I don't recall that I did anything with Firefox other than clicking on my links in the various folders.

I found (I think I found) where to zoom in/out in Firefox: to the very right hand side is this button with three horizontal lines, and there is a zoom in/zoom out option. I did zoom in and out - but nothing happened.

Now I am logged in with Microsoft Edge, which I did not use before. Same thing.

I had a Win10 update last week. This is now the only thing I could think of that "happened" between when I could see the photo link and now. But .... I am computer dumb.

Hmm, I wonder if there is a security setting preventing it from loading. In Firefox if you hit Ctrl+Shift+k all at once, it should bring up an extra console at the bottom of your browser. If you can do that and then reload the map page, then see if there's any messages in there. If there's anything in there, just try copy/pasting it and sending it to me via private message. Hopefully it gives some clues!

Thanks Peter! I'll do that later, must go for now. I have sent you a mail though with how my map looks.

Ok, did it, and answered your mail with screenshots and copies of the message.

Very strange:
when I am not logged in I can properly see all maps of other TPers. Including mine.

The console message said something about data need to be newly parsed. I never heard that term before, so I thought I'd tell it here. I looked up the term and there should be a connection to java not functioning but java works (I could star Peter's reply). Another opinion was that it is a Firefox problem but not a Chrome (I have it in all, FF, Chrome, Edge).

But:
I don't want to clog this thread - so @all: tell me to shut up and clarify elsewhere.

Hello! I apologize if this should be posted elsewhere. I have not seen my issue in this thread, but not finding the exact situation out there at all.
I have several trips mapped, using the exact street address and they all appear properly on the map when I click on each dot. What is odd is that a certain 6 photos display on each trip I click on - the original photos I ever uploaded over a year ago. If I click within the trip, some of the photos I uploaded for each stopping point show up, but not all. Anyone else run into this issue?

@andringap, the photos showing on the map are done automatically with the following criteria.

1. Find photos nearby the trip stop.
2. If the trip stop has a date set, limit to only those photos that fall in that date range.

The problem that happens is that the starting and end stops often do not have a date range. As a result, those stops can just show all the locations. Simple solution if it bothers you is to add dates to those stops as well.

Hope it helps :)
