7.1

I was waiting for the screen to refresh so I opened another window to look at a second map and Netscape froze. After closing both windows it refused to run again. I rebooted XP and started Netscape... I could see the hard disk activity for at least 45 seconds before the opening screen. That was probably a bad cache file refeshing.
When it did work, the map was covering the names on the right side.

There never was supposed to be pink! It wasn't a color choice. Yours shouldn't be pink. Shouldn't it be blue or green? I don't know if my pin was pink or not, it should be red, but whenever I tried to find it then it had to refresh and download for a long time and then it went back to the first 50 people and I wasn't on it. But there were usually lots of pink pins. And it wasn't just a faded red because there were more pink pins than women.

If you care, and aren't paranoid about it, you can fine-tune your location by clicking on Myfrappr or something similar to that. It'll give you a close up of your specific area (if your town exists on the built-in maps, that is,) and you can find your exact location and change the pin.

(how DO you do double quotes and cite the person both times??)

Cool. It works. Takes forever with dial up but it works.

Charlene ... you can put the person's name in the quote yourself.

(quote="Charlene") .... changing the () to [] will give the post's author. Actually putting ="whatever you want" after a quote will give the same bold print.

Dubh, you are either one of the ugliest women I've ever seen or you forgot to select your gender.

Here's another little trick I ran into with the map. It was suggested initially that if you didn't want to expose your email address to spammers' robots that you use a false email address. However, once you have initially set up your pin, if you want to later change some aspect of it, you must set up a Frappr account based on the email address you initially used. If you can't remember the password, they will email it to you.

But wait! I used a false email address, so I will never receive the email telling me how to get back into Frappr.

I be screw-wed.

Well I guess that's it then..my little secret is out in the open.

I like to think I am beautiful on the inside.
