+Georovers2 Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Background info: After not using the geocaching website for a few months, I now cannot get the MapQuest map to expand as previously. I used this feature a lot to help locate cache sites. Upon further exploration, I find the same thing when using MapQuest site directly. All the ads show up, and the grid to move around the map, but no map itself. And, there is an error message at the bottom. I have followed directions to adjust setting and configure my computer, but to no avail. Cannot figure out why it would work before, and not now. Any ideas? Quote

I just click "Refresh" at the top and usually the map shows up then. Quote
+Georovers2 Posted February 3, 2007 Author Posted February 3, 2007 Tried "Refresh". Still doesn't work. Quote

I have to have mine enabled to make mapquest work and show that red star at the cache site. I have Windows 2000... Tools Internet options security Custom level Run ActiveX controls and plug ins If you have XP or something else...Check these security settings against someone's computer that is working. or maybe someone here can post their settings.

+TexasGringo Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 From a previous post. Set your security to "MEDIUM" and not HIGH. http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=155092 Quote
+msrubble Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Georovers2, what browser are you using, and on what operating system? Are you allowing JavaScript and cookies? Quote
+Georovers2 Posted February 3, 2007 Author Posted February 3, 2007 Georovers2, what browser are you using, and on what operating system? Are you allowing JavaScript and cookies? Windows XP Internet Explorer 7 And I am pretty sure we have JavaScript and am allowing cookies. Thanks for your help. Quote
+msrubble Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 (edited) Hmm, I can't duplicate your problem. At first I could not enter an address to search! Changing my security setting to medium solved that problem. Have you tried changing your security setting for the Internet? If that didn't work, have you tried contacting your ISP?
