Site not working for me :confused:
 
It seems to be down at the moment unfrotunately... ugh, what timing
 
Why not just post the name of the city?
Someone else might map it out later\

For example, I live in San Francisco, California
(then again, I might be the only San Franciscan here :rolleyes:)

Blimey. What about the the couple of misfits among us who do not have to good fortune of living in the States :rolleyes:

Just kidding. Wasn't there somekind of directory started by Monique that showed everyones location a while ago?
 
Dimitri - Belgium is on the map, it's just not part of the States yet, so you'll have to zoom out and cross the Atlantic.
 
My apologies. I totally missed that :redface:

EDIT : Cool stuff! I can see my university from here!

Can't you just change your details below the map? I'm seeing a box below it with editable fields.

Wollie, you were supposed to click the link saying - "Not in the US ? Click here."

I don't think it's too late to edit though.
