Now why would that be a factor if all was perfect before this update? I believe there is a subtle error that we are all experiencing above and beyond this reference post.

Well, for me it was just someone putting in a funky link for the image on their marker, when they did that, it messed it up for everyone.

I edited the entry, deleted the link, now the markers are back

I've asked several times to have an option to disable the images but I haven't heard back on that yet. I know you can simply disable the text box where you input the image information but I haven't been able to find where that is yet. The remote image becomes a huge performance killer where there are a lot of images, especially if they used a slow host like photobucket.

Very true, I am encourageing people to host the image they are going to use in my sites Photo Gallery because it does the size and also is always available.

Even with that there is still a performance hit. I think it would be better to simply link to the user's profile.

Well, there is a link to the user profile on the main tab right, so what you want is the image to be whatever their avatar is?

You're right, there is a link already. I prefer to have no images at all, or at least the option to turn them off completely.

That may be a very useful option for this thing. I am finding that most of my users don't even put something on there.

But I agree, it would be nice to have the choice to turn it off.

An i agree it would be nice that someone find what could be the reason for the problem....

I just want to echo that my map quit listing markers, and it was do to what towermatt mentioned -

Edit: I found the problem with mine. A user added an image and used full html code to it which broke the XML. If you are having the same issue and can't find where it is, open http://www.yourdomain.com/yourforumpath/markers.xml with Firefox and check where the error occurs. This only applies if you had the addon working and it suddenly broke for no reason.

Remember to manually run the cron tab after editing the offending marker, otherwise the file markers.xml won't be updated right away.
