That is strange Lizbet because when you open a frappr map page there is a supremely clear "add to map" box
As a sideline to this discussion, a bit earlier I opened the original map page and noticed something loading up as indicated by a whirling graphic (see connecting in the screenshot above). By and by a new feature opened; an obvious chat room facility.I tentativelty typed in " Hi" and found that I was showing as "guest 4314 " or something.
and as a test and to try to talk to myself I also opened the SDYS frappr map page where I was now guest4214 in that second chat room
Several other guests came and went to all of whom I said "Hi" but got no response until eventually another guest say "guest 5377" said "hello"
I typed my name and found that my fellow guest was mouse
I commented that it would be hard to chat to a bunch of indistinguishable guests and I was already confusing both of us by appearing as two differently numbered guests.Then I opened a second SDYS frappr map page and tried the log in feature using my email address as directed
Wherupon in the chat rooms on both this new page and my first page I was showing not as a plebian guest but as John Fowles. Sharron (Mouse) then did likewise and we were able to converse:-
But note that whilst I was still logged on at SDYS Sharron also logged on there but could not see me in that chat room (nor me her),
So we concluded that one could only be logged in to one map at a time,.
Makes sense as I never actually logged on at the original room only at the SDYS page. Yet it automatically changed my identity in the original room from "guestxxxx" to John Fowles
I found this interesting as it could be a way around the dilemma of the Friday chats, where if like me you have a newish computer without Java applet support and do not feel inclined to install and use the recommended mIRC program there is, other than a couple of Javascript based chat programs that I have not yet found to be reliable, no common way to organise a chat room.
Thus if some of you wish to repeat our liittle experiment and report back here I would be gratified
Other than that it could be that an AOL Instant Messenger chat room could be set up but the drawback there I think is that one has to be invited in by somebody already there.
John Fowles
Having drafted that I went to check the "add to map" box and discovered that in the last couple of hours all the pins on the map have been removed and instead you now see
All I can say is that if that is somebody's idea of a ioke it is in very poor taste and completely anti-social.
I can remember somebody here using that word "morbid" I think on corfid posibly in respect of the map but the search facility here could not find it.
Nor could Google but I found this "cheesy" comment instead at:-

With an extremely loyal fan base, Lightfoot is most known for his 12-string guitar performances. He has been playing in bands since 1965, but the music never gets old. Like the man himself, Lightfoot’s music aged very well. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about most types of cheese.
Tickets are $49.50 - $72.50 @ Admission, call 514-790-1245
