Problem with old-maps website
« on: Wednesday 30 September 09 18:46 UTC (UK) »
Hi folks

I've not been able to use the old-maps.co.uk website properly for a while as the thumbnails of the maps are appearing on the actual map, (at the top), so that I cannot see the map properly or navigate around it.  Anyone else had the problem or know what to do about it?  Thanks

Hi Jean

No problems here. What browser are you using - Internet Explorer, Firefox or something else?

I tend to use Firefox but I've just been in via IE and it seems to be working fine on the maps that I've looked at. 

Which map/place are you looking at?

Not sure if it's the maps or maybe your settings Undecided

Hi

Thanks for checking lookingforold and Gadget, it looks like it is a problem with my computer rather than the oldmaps website.  I was trying to look at Wallasey but I've tried other areas and the problem is still the same.
