What is even happening?

Gus, I was confused. I have entered my location (near Boston) on previous maps, but didn't see me there this time, and so didn't send any ~ma, because I was afraid I would somehow break your glorious invention.

Also? The dog ate my homework.

Gus, I couldn't make it work, and I don't know if that's me or that Opera on my home computer wasn't compatible with it.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Cindy, I just added myself to the map and sent you some ~ma. It did act a little funny, but that was related to adding a pin and sending ~ma all at once, I think.

'Suela, I use Opera 7.5 on WIN2K, and it seems to work for me.

Grr. I just logged-in as you and sent me ~ma. Nothing happened. Grr.

edited, because 'looging-in' is not something one does in polite company.

It's a bughunt!

I tried to send ~ma. I put my name in and pressed "send" (but didn't know how to put my own pin in). Then -t's name came up in the receive field so I pressed, whatever it told me to, and then I got scared and shut the page. :)

Ok, found the bug. I just redirected my ~ma to Consuela. It worked for Liese before I made a "tweak" that broke more than it improved. ~Ma sending should work, now.

After you send your name, you can just click the map to either move or create your pin. Replacing the user-entry field with the ~ma-target list is a little confusing and counterintuitive. I will fiddle with that. I'll also put the "find" functionality back in, so folks can find their own pin.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

It works, it works - though my pin is in an odd place. Not sure how to fix that.

Yay! lexine, just send your name and click the map where you want your pin to be. Since you seem to be in southern California, you should "zoom" the map before making your click, for more accuracy.

Okey dokey Gus - my pin is in the right place and my ~ma is still streaking across the states. Yipeee!

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

I want to send ~ma to more than one person for more than one reason. It wouldn't change the color, either. (I'm one of those gift horse/mouth people)

~ma colour only changes on-screen, right now. It is just a preference thing for folks who see some colours better than others.

I'll put "permanently assign colour to ~ma " and "multiple targets per Buffista" on the feature to-do list.

Now, though, it is beddy-bye time in Chocolate Cuckoo Land.
