Q: My question isn’t here, where can I ask it?
A: Ryan@crystaldawn.net or post on the Forums. Please use the forums whenever possible as others probably have the same question you have.
Q: Google cannot find my address when I click map/directions. Is there something I can do?
A: Google is horrible at translating addresses to Long/Lat and often cannot find an address. To get around this, you can use yahoo to calculate the Long/Lat instead and then pass that on to google. To do that, simply put a 1 in the database field “use_coordinate” for that particular address. It should then work. But do not do this unless you are absolutely sure your address is correct and google cannot find it. This relieves stress on yahoo’s servers as well as makes the directions page look a little better.
Q: How do I get results by just using a URL without having to enter anything in a search page?
