Title: Marinetraffic.com screen map display
Post by: Simon Brown on September 22, 2011, 06:32:13 PM
Hi.

Is anyone having trouble with the screen map display on Marinetraffic.com of late? Over night the map display has moved up and virtually disappeared and I can only see bottom 5mm or so of the original AIS map, so you can say really no map display. The 'view fill map' function button seems not to do anything.

My screen is now centered on the ads/site credits which were always at the bottom of the screen and it's pushed everything up out of view as far at the maps concerned.

Maybe some programming issue by the site host in Greece? Or could it be my end pc issue?? Any ideas anyone..  ??? I just wanna see where my ships are.. It's been so good up till now.

I entered a new search on the site and the full screen comes up.
The new search did not work with Firefox but did with Safari.

I had the same, but used the "Refresh Button", it's working now without problems.

Okay chaps..panics over now. I can resume normal life once again! Looks like it might have been just site maintainence in Greece. It's back to normal here but a bit slow at the moment.

Thanks everyone.

I see the same as reported by Allan.
Then (using Firefox) I click the refresh symbol in the browser address bar and bingo! All is well!

Hi Kelvin

Dammed if I could find a 'refresh' button, but Control and R did the trick.  Thanks

Allan,
I use Firefox 6.0.2 and find the refresh-button here:

Using a Mac.

Control R did nothing but command R fixed the problem.
