I really don't want to bang on about how bad the cloudmade service is, but it is starting to cheese me off a bit.

This time, it's because vast areas of their tiles are coming up blank. Not good enough :(

I've tried several times to get an answer/fix to this issue, but it just keeps on happening - or, more correctly, NOT happening.

We have here a building added on August 25, live almost immediately on the OSM main map, but here we are 53 days later and cloudmade tiles are still failing to show it.

Many web forms filter out strings that may be used in injection attacks - though most modern systems do it silently at the back end. MyKi's feedback form not only filters at the front end, but somehow they seem to think a plus symbol (as in 24+ hours) looks a bit dangerous!

Honestly, you've gotta wonder what decade they coded this site in. The feedback form loads in a javascript spawned pop-up window and has some form fields without labels. Even their Accessibility page fails Accessibility tests!

I hope the terminal is easier to get around than the @CDG website!

Thought I'd check out easycdg.com for info on where to go when I got this message from the 90's.

"EASY CDG is doing its almost to maintain the accuracy of the above information."

...almost! :-)

So, I am forced to download a new version (B), which I then find is not even compatible with my browser (C).

Result: no result! I can't do ANYTHING until you pull your useless fingers out and upgrade the plugin again!

Very unimpressed.
