a: I'll add my vote for making the GPS coordinates visible in the descriptive informaton for each site.
b: It would be nice if the map/sat/hybrid option were available when viewing a site, not just when entering one. For some of my backcountry sites, the map roads may be wrong, or many not include the actual dirt road to the site. The satellite view makes these minor tracks visible.
c: It would save you a lot of work if we could go back and edit or add to our own submissions, and also append *proposed* additions or corrections to sites entered by other people.
d: And an important correction: For the recently entered "San Rafael River Boondock – Green River – Utah". in the descriptive text, "I-80″ should be "I-70″. Also fix the spelling of "boondock' in the title.

I don't know if this is a suggestion or a bug report: In a recent submission, "Rabbit Valley Recreation area, Grand Junction, Colorado", I included in the description a URL for the government website describing that campground. The URL was stripped out in the version that's made it to the website. I think that such URL's would be a valuable part of the information about the site – either imbedded in the description, or in a separate field. It might be good to allow more than one URL
And a bug: Occasionally, when I click a site on the map, the popup has two or three repititions of the campsite title and no other information (the "[…} link is missing too). Seems to be random – I can't make it happen consistently.

The coordinates are stored so a seperate entry field will not be required. I will make them visable today.

Done
c: It would save you a lot of work if we could go back and edit or add to our own submissions, and also append *proposed* additions or corrections to sites entered by other people.
It would be nice if you could modify your own entries.That will take some work. I will probably never allow for people to edit other people's posts. For this, the ability to comment on a post should suffice.
d: And an important correction: For the recently entered "San Rafael River Boondock – Green River – Utah". in the descriptive text, "I-80″ should be "I-70″. Also fix the spelling of "boondock' in the title.
Done.
Thanks! You guys are keeping me busy  I appreciate it.

I am not sure what happened. I don't see the link when I look at the raw data, so yes it must have been stripped during the parsing process. I have entered numerous links via the submission form and haven't had a problem. Do you remember how your link was formatted?
I will be adding a separate field for it too.

I have noticed it too. It seems to happen when you click on a marker multiple times before it loads. If you click it three times before the popup comes up, you will see three instances in the popup. Is this the behavior that you are seeing?

The the link was plain text – exactly:
<www.blm.gov/co/st/en/fo/mcnca/recreation/camping.html>
In the "Rabbit Valley Recreation Area, Grand Junction, Colorado" site, the second sentence of the Description currently is "See ." The link was in front of the period.
Perhaps you could add that?
I now see that you allow html tags. I'll try that in a future submission. Presumably you would then show an active clickable link.

Yes – I think that's exactly what I saw. The site it pretty slow, and I find myself wondering if I really clicked, and then click again.

Yes, I just tried to submit a site in Littlefield, Texas without a url and it won't let me. I'm going to put my own website in there for now. Please remove it.
I love what you're building here.

Whoops, won't let me submit even with a url. With or without the http://
For now, it is topping me from submitting at all. I get a message saying "The URL "Unknown" does not look correct." no matter what I input in that field.

Sorry about that. Should work now.

c: It would save you a lot of work if we could go back and edit or add to our own submissions, and also append *proposed* additions or corrections to sites entered by other people.
Understand your unwillingness to allow others to correct posts however, is it possible to create a vehicle such as is done in Google Earth "Panoramino" which Proposes alternative locations to the Creator? So far, I have looked at 10 physical locations and found a significant error at John Day Dam but am unable to find out how to get the error corrected except posting here. Nice job on site navigation also vote for the suggestion to post the lat/lon #'s on the Entry Listing Page rather than having to go to a second page…

The less work, the better….

I will try to come up with a good way to implement it. In the meantime I will put a "Suggest a Correction" link on each post. Originally, I thought that commenting on the post would be enough, but I am receiving more and more requests for this.

Thanks. Do you mean in the excerpts on the states page?

Ah.. that explains it. That format is not accepted. <a> tags are accepted. The proper formatting is <a href="http://hitekhomeless.net">Hitek Homeless</a>
