If you do register, I recommend using the zipcode a large city nearby rather than your real zipcode.

Or at least use a zipcode in the same city or another area.

Sometimes you're helped by Frapper itself. I've created one for another group and was trying to add some. It wouldn't accept the zip for Gerlach, NV (tiny town and all PO boxes) or any from Boise ID. You have to pick a nearby town.

So how do you give it a zipcode then, if it rejects a whole bunch?

The alternative is to use the zip of the closest city. It's more vague, but works.

OK, define city in a suburban area. I've got Tampa about 50 miles away from me, and Brooksville about 20.

Not only that, but it doesn't tell you it rejected your entry.

Yeah, I'm having problems too... Just doesn't seem to register me...

HI Dan, and all. Yes, Frapper is working fine. We are up to 322 entries now, two of which are you...;-)

A number of people have contacted me about duplicates, errors etc. The following notes apply:


NOTES ON FRAPPER

- it is a beta programme, and is still developing and improving. It has occasional downtime for maintenance and upgrade
- I have made all requested changes, but some changes have worked, and some apparently have not, at least not immediately
- don't worry, I will monitor the list and will keep deleting duplicates
- in general I delete the first entry in case of duplicates, so you can continue to update...
- if you are aware of duplicates not cleared off for some time, let me know

On the subject of zip and post codes, remember that Frapper will never place your marker exactly in that zip code anyway. The FAQ say that it is always at least two miles from wherever you live... it doesn't bother me however, if someone wants to use a different postcode so long as it is not too far away... don't want to skew the map.

Many thanks to everyone who has taken the trouble to join!
PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING, TO MAKE AN IMPACT WE NEED EVERYONE TO JOIN THE MAP

regards

Well, I still don't see me. Last entry was on the 18th! 2 more added since yesterday. If it doesn't update immediately, it is pretty useless.

Hi Dan... yes, you are there, I think: your entry says:

"Danman Spring Hill (FL) Not in Tampa, but in Tampa Bay area."

....and very nice it looks too. Is that you? It was there yesterday too..

and where am I??? I see no updates since October 18th. I added myself on the 19th

Are there multiple page listings? I did a Edit|Find with my browser for danman, couldn't be found. Last entry I see still shows 10/18/2005.

Now the link doesn't work at all. Real slow when it did.
