I'm guessing this is a not-yet-implemented feature, but that the idea is that a suggestion score (SS) will appear somewhere on each mountain page, person's profile (other pages? routes?) when you're logged on.

I'm very confused about how the score is calculated. Can you be specific?

I noticed on one of my mountain pages the climber log count is at 7. I press on it to see who has signed it and it lists only 6 members. No big deal, just wondered about it.

I always wondered if it is possible to enbed such google map into an SP page :

I was perusing who was on-line at the bottom of the forums page and noticed Ryle was logged in and just as fast he was gone. Don't know if he has been active much lately or if this was a one time shot. Hopefully he and maybe even Josh are taking an interest again. Time will tell...

I noticed the same with many of my pictures into which I previously put a link (area name, etc), which I now try to correct...
This phenomenon occurs only since the last update of SP.
Any way to fix it ?
Thanks !

Seems like we can unstick some of these threads by now. There are so many most users overlook them.

There are two on GPX features, one in General and one in Site Feedback. Perhaps we can unstick the General one, or combine it with the Site Feedback one now?

In General, 'Private messages older than 1 year will be deleted daily' seems unneeded there now. Maybe unstick it, and if needed put a comment somewhere ...

Matt,

recently two items that affect the content area of the site have been discussed. I am just wondering if these are potential changes, or just hopes and dreams?

And if changes, what kind of timing are we looking at for each? A couple months? A year? Wait until a new SP version, maybe several years?

The first, on making it so that 7, 8, 9, or 10 votes all have a positive impact on ...
