[OSGeo-Discuss] [Fwd: Re: [Webcom] Usermap SVN and improvement]

[Alexandre Leroux]

Hi all,

Last december, I asked about on the UserMap refresh rates but did not 
get any answer so far 
(http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Talk:UserMap_Documentation ). The UserMap 
still seems not fully updated: months after I added the position 
information to my userpage, I don't show up on the map. Maybe I did 
something wrong, but I think I followed the instructions from the 
documentation page correctly.

Any clues?

Cheers,

Alex
