I can't add a new location on the map - what am I missing?

[Pooch]

So I am pretty much newbie to the workings of this site. I thought the "map" was for members to mark their location. After reading THIS thread I clicked on the map and was able to put a marker on it with my screen name and location - but - the marker itself is about 150 miles from my actual location. I can't make the marker move to my actual location by editing the info or dragging it and it says I do not have permission to delete it.
Evidently with my input of the marker it put a thread out here that showed I had input the marker.
That thread is called Pooch, Kerrville TX.
Then...I get a sarcastic response that indicated it was somewhat useless for me to have input the marker since I did not have any tools, etc to provide.
I apologized for doing so in that thread and apologize for doing so in this thread.
Moderators, please just delete the marker and be done with it. Thanks.

Sorry, I tried to avoid sounding sarcastic or judgmental. Ironically I was just about decided to add my own marker when your thread appeared.

I'm sorry Pooch, as I replied in your Map Marker thread, that sarcastic post (since removed) was completely uncalled for & highly inappropriate! :sour: . The Member Map IS intended as a 'Member Map', the extra info is just there for those people/instances where a member is in a position to & might be able to offer more in the way of tools, accom, workshop etc - but at its simplest, the map is really intended just to let others know where you are! :thumbup:

Btw, it probably pays to be juust a little vague in telling the World via the Internet & all its readers/users/abusers EXACTLY where you are located for a whole shed load of perfectly valid reasons; but I hafta agree, 150 miles is probably a bit too vague! I don't know exactly how to resolve/move your marker, but I'll pass it on & see what we can do to fix it!

Is this being fixed? I tried again today. Right click does nothing.
