Ah yes, was wanting this.

I'm going to need ACP access to help you out with this one.

Thanx

Ok I have a whopper of a problem.  At 4:08 PM a guest was at my member map.  But they don't have access.  Then my server ran out if memory and I have 5 Gb.  I wasn't aware of this since I was at work.  But now my map won't work.

Ok I now see that the map hasn't worked since at least when it was last accessed by a guest on 04/10/2016 6:40 PM

Now I did update to the most recent version of IPS and never checked the map after so who knows maybe it was down then,

The page you requested does not exist

Error code: 2S100/6

@Martin A.  thank you for your help.  You are awesome!  

Well, I had already tried the code the way you posted, and it was still skewed.  And nothing was centered also.

But wait a minute....  When I use your center code for the ad, my having the ad code above <div id="ipsLayout_mainArea"> works.  And the map is fine,

Although now I am starting to like the ad placed between the block and left margin where there is a side block now (centered elsewhere).  But that won't work because  IPS won't fix that.

Wow you really know your stuff.

Try using <p class="ipsType_center"> around your ad code instead of <div align='center'>. It is the <div> tag that causes all this.

What do I put at the end of the code for this?

Go to my site and select copy of purple passion and view the forum main page that has a sideblock.  The right width is skewed and the ad is placed between the sideblock and left margin.  At least in chrome it is,

Just now, Martin A. said:

Do as I suggested. Move inside of <div id="ipsLayout_mainArea">, instead of above it. 

But then every page with a right sideblock has messed up widths,  And the ads are smaller.  That's why I had the ad moved in the first place.

In that case, put it inside <div id="ipsLayout_mainArea">. That DIV will behave like that when other DIVs are placed around it, but not inside it. 

You could try to temporarily remove it, just to see if the map goes back to the way it should be, and if the ad is indeed the culprit. 

Oh it is the ad, I figured it out finally seconds before you posted.   But since it worked right at first, I wonder if it is the online list plugin I bought and just installed.  The problem is deleting the plugin doesn't remove it for me to check. 

Your location shrinks the ad where there is a side block, otherwise I would use the default.  What this also does is skew the width of the page all up also,

Just now, Martin A. said:

I can't see the actual page, but the error message is exactly as you describe, 

This is caused by the Google Ad. Contact whoever placed that there, as that is not the correct location. If I remove that element, the error message goes back to full width.

I placed the ad there.  Because otherwise the ad is forced by IPS to fit only the width of the topic area.  I like wider ads.  The weird thing is that the ad was always there and the map was fine,  Now it is shrunk,

If you want me to look at it, I'd need your URL.

Thank you! https://www.ourbeautytalk.com/forums/membermap/

All of a sudden my map shrunk to a half a page on the left.  And now I have ti make my chrome 110% to have it fill the screen again.

And you know what else?  I forgot to mention this.  After I posted screen shots showing the admins session frozen from when they worked on my site on Tues, I got the famous, blame the server business.  And BTW, I had zero issues with this prior.  What do they think we are, idiots that will fall for anything?

however on some servers this is misconfigured and sessions are not properly cleared out as a result. 

.But just this once they didn't try to sell me hosting after they mentioned my "ailing" server.  Whoopie!  Anymore I feel like I am working with snake oil salesmen that will tell your anything,

Ok this just takes the cake and I am fit to be tied.    After a long drawn out process to fix what was basically a session type of bug, the second support left my admin CP, my sessions were screwed up.

So what do they fricken do after I report this?  They tell me to open a new ticket and marked the current one resolved!  Leaving me with a dangerous situation with admins with sessions that will not go away.  And I will not get a response now for days!

You are just the worst!!!!  What has become of IPS?  Really?  What?

The answer is in the next post down.

Ohh... :tongue: That was a 2 fer 1 answer. :lol:

After upgrading to 1.0.9 I've lost all my map icons, is there any possible fix to it please? Many thanks.

So will this happen to me also? Was this just a singular probelm or has this happened to everyone?
