Thanks again for that feedback. Yeah, with stuff like the 7 wonders of the world I think you're right in that it's well covered in other ways. I guess I was thinking more along the…

Ok, thanks for that. I just noticed that it stopped working for me as well. The server was complaining about having too many open files. I've just restarted it so hopefully it will…

Thanks for the feedback. There is already the ability to embed maps into other pages. However if you didn't find it that probably says something about the design of the site. There…

I have put some effort into mobile, but I have to admit I've struggled to get it to work well. The larger screens and use of a mouse means it works much better on laptop/desktops. …
