  1. Instead of debating whether the 'ignore' function works properly, just provide feedback on what you want to be able to do. You do not need to give it a name, you simply need to state your use case(s).

    There may be problems with creating a true "block" feature for community software like IPS. If you check blocking capabilities on sites where it already exists (I'm specifically thinking about social media) it serves as more of a privacy tool. It prevents others from being able to see your profile content, send you messages or view your posts. That's fine in a system where your content is entirely your own and the only impact is one less viewer of your content, but in community software like IPS this could create problems:

    1. There will be apparent gaps in conversations to users that have been blocked, for example:
      • Blocked
        • Person 1: Does anybody know how to install this program?
        • Person 2: Yes, you install it by double clicking on it.
        • Person 1: But then I get a warning about it being suspicious.
        • Person 2: That's OK, you just need to add it as an exception.
        • Person 1: Thanks
      • Unblocked
        • Person 1: Does anybody know how to install this program?
        • Person 2: Yes, you install it by double clicking on it.
        • Person 1: But then I get a warning about it being suspicious.
        • Person 2: That's OK, you just need to add it as an exception.
        • Person 3: No, don't do that! It's actually infected and a new version needs to be uploaded! Delete it and run a virus scan.
        • Person 1: Thank
    2. There will be useful topics that might not be seen:
      • Blocked
        • How to install this program.
        • How to open the program.
        • How to uninstall the program.
      • Unblocked
        • Warning: current version infected - uninstall it and run a virus scan.
        • How to install this program.
        • How to open the program.
        • How to uninstall the program.

    These are of course just examples I can think of, but I imagine there'd be gaps all over the place.

  2. Well who would'a guessed it... Facebook take 6 weeks to review an app and decline it. Useless.

    I need to provide a screencast of how the permissions will be used. I'm not quite sure how I'm supposed to do that without the permissions, since nothing will work and the IPS software will not show the controls in use. Catch 22... Show me this chicken before it hatches.

    Does anybody have any ideas how to get around this?

  3. I have a managed VPS with 1GB of RAM and roughly 30 users on during peak times. It's more than adequate for that. I'd get your host to look more into it, or drop me a PM and I will provide the details of my host for you to check out. ^_^ 

  4. It should extend based on the custom markers, send me a link to you map and I'll have a look.

    Thanks Stoo - will send a link later as it's currently only visible to me.

    To elaborate, I think I am taking the app out of it's intended purpose. When we have at least one member marker it zooms to the appropriate level just fine, taking into account the custom markers. If there are no member markers at all, and only custom markers, it doesn't zoom. In effect, I'm not using the map for member markers at all but purely for custom markers.

  5. Hi Stoo,

    Just a quick one I hope - we're using your member map purely for adding custom markers to show points of interest on a map. The issue we have is that without any user placed markers the map defaults to the highest zoom, so you constantly have to scroll to zoom in.

    Any way to change that behaviour so the customer markers influence the zoom level on load?

    Great mod.

    Thanks

  6. I change domains and of course my old API key doesn't work. The trouble is, I cannot find my existing key anywhere and Google's site design is absolutely crap. I've spent an hour going in circles.

    Does anybody know where I can access and edit my existing API key?
