Trouble With Maps

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

If you’re one of the people using the maps section to log which hills you’ve climbed, it might have recently stopped working. The problem is that your machine has cached older copies of the scripts. The new scripts are there and working but your browser might not have picked up on that just yet.

It’s easily fixed though. Just go to the map page that you want and do a forced refresh.

HOW DO I DO A FORCED REFRESH?

  • On Windows, hold down Ctrl and press F5
  • On a Mac, hold down the Apple key and press R
  • On Linux, simply press F5

WHAT’S BROUGHT THIS ON?

When I moved the maps from a subdomain to the root of this website, the script files had to be updated to avoid being blocked by browsers as a cross-site scripting vulnerability. If your browser is still using the old scripts, it blocks the execution as a security precaution.

Or it was the evil pixies. Pick whichever explanation you prefer. 🙂

STILL NOT WORKING?

Use the contact form if you’re still having problems after a forced refresh and I’ll see what I can do to help you out.

A Few Changes

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

Only ever being able to post photos has been getting on my wick a bit lately. I needed to add a bit of versatility to this website and so I have. :O)

As well as a few changes for my benefit, now you can leave a comment if you like. Or don’t. I’m not fussy.
