Google Earth Links Are Go (Again)

As several people helpfully pointed out (we usually write this site on the Mac), the Google Earth links have been malfunctioning recently.

Anyway, I’ve deleted some cached ones and, after a little testing, they now seem to be working again. Sorry guys, will try to make sure it doesn’t happen again. However, and if any of you should have any further problems… let us know in this thread and we’ll get right on the case ;-)
