Maybe it will enter the Top100 if the google earth links would work again.

Thanks for pointing that out Mugros. Should be fixed now.

Still doesn’t work for me… err well No I guess it does but it errors.

“Fetch of NetworkLink “Google SightSeeing” failed ….”

Sorry about that folks. Google Earth network link should be working now.

Are you sure?

I am still getting that same error message. It’s still taking me to the place but just throws up that error each time.

Just in case, here is the error I am getting.

Ahhhh, I think I know that this is. Try deleting the Google Sightseeing network link from the ‘Places’ bit and then click on the Network Link again:

Thanks for the help debugging this.

Thanks.

Is it just me, or is this page REALLY screwed up?
17. bill says: August 20th, 2005 at 3:05 am
I really don’t think this site is a “blog”
18. Scott Rafer says: August 20th, 2005 at 3:54 pm
How is this site not a blog???
19. James says: August 20th, 2005 at 5:12 pm
gIMpSTa - king of finding GgSs bugs

That page was all screwy from people posting really long URLs. I deleted the comments and it all looks nice again.

Thanks for pointing it out.

Heh just doing my part to keep the site in tip top shape!
