'Safe'
Do you have problems, concerns, or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
Well, you can put any number of things in that location field, up to and including your zip code or latitude and longitude to varying precisions. If you have exactly the same position as someone else, I would only imagine it's first come first served, or last come first shown.
So I guess I should put something besides SF?
I put my city and zip code. I may add a street, since my street is only 3 blocks long, it'll be pretty accurate.
Being the only Buffista for 50 miles in any direction has some advantages. So does living in a tiny village. I didn't even include a street, and my arrow lands one house down from my old apartment.

Whatever makes you feel comfortable. You can go as high level as USA, although that'll confuse folks.
I had my zip code in there, but tested by rounding of my longitude and latitude and using those instead, and it's kinda aroung there. Anything you can search on in google maps, basically. It's exactly the same algorithm. I just need to optimise it so the algorithm runs as few times as possible.
eta: Vortex, you do realise this is all your fault, right?
I think I'm the only buffista in my zip code.

who? me? I just made a suggestion! No one ever listens to me, how was I supposed to know that this would happen!
Okay, Jon, the map is up on the css side too, and the page is well ugly. Beautify at will. Meanwhile I'll see what I can do to speed things up some.
ita, the map is so very cool. One possible bug I found is that it seems two people with the same address can't both show up at the same time. Originally I had just put my city and state, but when I looked at the map and realized ND had put our full address, I decided to do the same. Once I did so and went back to the map, he had disappeared. When I zoom in and click on the little marker, it only shows my name.
On the css side, the b.org logo in the upper right corner now has a border. I'm pretty sure this is a new thing.

Yeah, I just made it a link, but I forgot to take the border off in css.

Yeah--as noted above, ND's there, just exactly obscured by you. This could be addressed by putting in nearly the same location, if you'd like. I'm not sure how else to address it right now.
