(The first time I tried it the map was way out in the North Sea, so that's why it's centred on Birmingham. Add yourself by going to 'list' in the box with 3 lines.)
I've added myself.

I want it to show the whole of the British isles, at the moment I have to two extremes of zoomed in or out.
I'm done :)

How do I amend? It shows more detail of my address than I'd like.

I've managed to post two pins (I think I did this on the global one, too!)

To delete, it is asking me to sign in and so I will have to look at whether I created an account last time.

If you have editing rights, you can delete the red one (lower down of the two). I have deliberately put my location at the top of a mountain. ;) After I posted the red one, I realised when I zoomed in that it was in the wrong place, anyway (too far south from where I actually live). Right-click didn't seem to enable me to do any editing, either.

Thanks all who added!

Let me take a look at the queries.

I can't find a way of editing.

I have changed the default to not show street address for anyone.

I can only see one pin for you dunroving?

At least it's taken your postcode off.

I think you're supposed to be able to edit your own pin but I haven't worked out how myself.

Ta ever so. That's fine.

Good.

I found dunroving's other pin and deleted.

Phew.

Any more takers?

It's a nice idea to put a photo on - I don't think you can do that retrospectively, would have to re-do your entry.

Ah-ha, I think I figured out how. When you set it up and click Submit, it gives you a link and says copy it. If you copy it and then paste into your browser, it takes you to the original edit window and you can make changes.

May not be useful if you have already set yours up and didn't save the link, but for new people setting up a new pin, make sure you do it.

I'm assuming you can save the link as a favourite so you can go back and edit any time.

Shall I put it in a new thread? Or could a mod just pluck it out of this one?

Oh! If you click on your name in the bubble does it give you options to edit? I can in mine.

- nope, doesn't seem to do it for me. I vaguely recall that on the other BE map, that did work for me, though.
