Suggestion: rename "Find Users" Suggestion: Rename ˇ°Find Usersˇ± on the main banner menu to something more flattering/engaging, such as Find Coders, Find Builders, Find Popflies, Find Friends, etc.
Also, I didn't realize there was a friends capability until I got an email from a coworker asking to link up in Popfly. Once I knew it was in there somewhere, it took me awhile to discover that the ˇ°add friendsˇ± (distinct from invite friends) capability was buried in ˇ°Find Usersˇ±. I kept looking for it in My Profile or one of the other left sidebar menus under my account.

why adcenter is not available internationally ? This is not really an adCenter API question...
Anyway adCenter is currently available in the US, UK, France and Singapore and we definitely plan to expand it to many more locations over time.

No way to pause a campaign? Yes.
It's coming.
I'd be interested in hearing more from folks on this forum, what additional API features are desired, including gaps between API and UI functionality. I have a list but I'd like to hear what's on your mind, in priority order ...
Thanks,

Pushpin icon offset in v5 This is what I'm doing, and while the CSS does move the icon, the rest of VE doesn't seem to realize it's moved. Hence the popup box pointing to where the icon would be if it hadn't moved, as well as the green dots that appear over it on hover. Any thoughts as to how one can tell VE that the icon is not centered on its middle Tag: News Reader Block

What is "High resolution" DTM model in the UK ? I've seen lots of references to this:
Microsoft Announce Intermap Technologies for highly accurate and up-to-date elevation data for all of Great Britain
but nowhere can I see what this high resoluton actually equates to on the ground (or what is replacing and therefore how much better it is)
Does anyone know
Thanks Tag: News Reader Block
Display road information on VE Hi All,
I'm new to Geographical Map and certainly looking for help.
The following is my requirement:
1. Color the road according to speed for example, red color for 80MPH, blue color for 70 MPH
2. Getting latitude and longitude programmatically based on location
3. API Calls to zoom in\out.
4. API Calls to move the map
5. API Calls to get road information, length and speed Tag: News Reader Block
'Checkerboard' effect when using road/hybrid mapping Have you tried dumping your browser cache when that happens I get that behavior intermittently myself, but not as extreme (only a few tiles here and there rendering as black squares). Tag: News Reader Block
Retrieving Lat & Lon from an address without a map You can of course hide the map, defining the div as:
<div id="map" style="display: none;"></div>
The user still has to load the map etc (so it will take some time to load) but you can use the Find method :-) Tag: News Reader Block
Checking if a VELatLong & Zoom has a BirdseyeScene? Is there a way to check whether a particular VELatLong combined with a zoom level has a BirdseyeScene available Ideally, I'd like to parse my database results of VELatLong coordinates and build a grid of BirdseyeScene thumbnails, but it appears you can only check for a BirdseyeScene for where the map is centered.

Tilesource Doesn't show in 3D Static tiles, I am not certain, however these were the common scenarios I found in my research :
1. Make sure that you use the VE friendly method for setting the tilesource (look at my sample code above for the method that works). The older method doesn't work due to some problem with calling javascript functions from the viewer control.
2. Make sure that your Z-Order is greater than 0. Most people default to 100.
3. Make sure there are no spaces in your tile source name or characters that use the % sign.
When in doubt, write a bare bones version of your html and see if it works. Tag: News Reader Block

LiveID control hosted within IFRAME Say I write a web application that requires LiveID signin. This web application should be hosted within another web application as IFRAME. Something along the following lines: <body> <iframe src="http://www.mydomain.com/liveidauth.aspx" ></iframe> </body> Is this possible It appears that this is not possible due to the way redirects work. After signing in, I am not back within the IFRAME, but in a new window. Thank you! Tag: News Reader Block

Windows Live Space with HTML the sandbox is nice idea. but the worst part about it is that you can only have one on your space. :(
can't customize my site that well with just one :P
and we should have options to turn off borders/backgrounds and such on the tables. Tag: News Reader Block
Ability to restrict users? Suppose I only want a handful of users (maybe up to 100) of the total number of LiveID users to access my site. Is there anyway to restrict unwanted users from accessing my site

How to allow unlimited number of users of a MSN Messenger bot? I have now used the DotMSN library ( http://www.xihsolutions.net/dotmsn/ ) to write a bot that communicates with an application on my server. This worked fine until the number of users of the bot reached 1500. It seems that the bot is allowed to have only 1500 contacts on its allowed list. I guess this is a limit from the Messenger protocol
Is there a way to create a bot with more than 1500 users I bot needs to allow unlimited number of users.. Can someone recommend me a solution to this Is there a library or a supplier which will allow unlimited number of users of the bot
Thanks in advance. Tag: News Reader Block
Activity Pane not loading page You can have that page driving logic in the JavaScript of your activity. So you direct all queries to one activity, and that in turn will open the appropriate web page. The current MSN Activity Music sample does pretty much exactly this.
Good luck!

Variable in setCustomIcon ? It was a simple syntax error. Am I the only intellisence-addict that is useless with NOTEPAD

Unfortunately not at the moment, the font properties are in the XAML code which can't be ripped at the moment. Will certainly add the suggestion for future work as we look at adding properties to blocks.
