Loohan Forums
Anyone can read; just hit the Index tab. Permission is required to post. No agents need apply.
Posts in the wrong category will be relocated.
New registrants: if you try to register you will get a message that we are not accepting new members. Due to the limitations of this forum software which is not designed to deal with incessant CIA harrassment, we have no alternative but to disable automatic registration, and then we can't change this automatic message. Your account needs to be created by admin before you can post in the forums. Because otherwise, almost all registrants are CIA sock puppets. To get a forum account you need to send a brief presentation email to loohanforum at gee mail dot com, also suggesting a user name. Then we can enable you manually. But before you even do that, take a look around the forum and my site and decide whether you REALLY WANT to join/post, before you jack us around. Most seemingly genuine people who apply fail to even ever log in once to change their password after we go through the work of creating a membership for them. Then we must quickly delete their account again lest the CIA has intercepted their temporary password. And of the few who do change their password, most still never post. Maybe they realize we are too weird for them, I don't know. They get real quiet, never to be heard from again.
GLOSSARY: Sometimes unusual terminology or abbreviations are used that with some luck you might find defined here.

testing google maps
Google has recently done something similar to their maps as Yahoo did to their forum software a couple years ago.
I sent this link to someone
https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7077052 … a=!3m1!1e3
and she says it takes her to a place much further east on Long Island. It always takes me to
64-40 Madison St, Flushing, NY 11385
which is what i wanted.
(To find out where the place is, you have to right-click and choose What's Here?)
Let me know if anyone else gets off-the-wall results from this link.

Re: testing google maps
it takes me to Madison st.
by the way, google is lame, they changed gmaps in such a way that if you don't have an updated browser they send you to Lite version where 'what's here' is not available. I currently use this URL now when I start gmaps work....
https://maps.google.com/maps/myplaces?dg=feature
and it takes me to an usable version of gmaps.
that is the old version of gmaps
edit: (also new version doesn't seem to have 'what's here', or I am not able to see anything similiar)
