Reinhart, Thanks for your speedy assistance!
So I've complated the changes you've suggested and whilst doing so I've discovered an error that's been
my fault!
Whilst making your template changes I decided to delete all the members images directly in the database to give everybody a clean sheet before running the Cron job.... whilst doing so I realised that I must have changed the 'Auto approve' setting to 'No'..... what a mistake! So any entry's after that point didn't appear.
So after aproving the 'unapproved' members and running the cron job all my members now appear. So...... I'll let it run as it is for a while and make sure everything works with the except of the member image option, then maybe I'll return the 'vbgooglemapme_set_yourlocation' and 'vbgooglemapme_display_yourlocation' templates to their orginals and see if
GeekDrew's code changes handle the image code correctly... if they do then the Map would be perfect!
Thanks all for the help, it's good to talk and I couldn't have done it without you!
