Is it just me, or has the SL World Map stopped updating itself?

I've cleared my cache and all that, but when I zoom in, my land looks like it did over a week ago, which is nothing what it looks like currently.

I wanted to see if anybody see's this before I /bug it.

Yes, I've notice the same thing. It's been almost two weeks since the map over Meins has updated for me, and I've heard other complaints about it here in the forums too.

By all means report it.

I talked to the Lindens about it. They said its currently offline and is a known issue.

Over two weeks ago I had a huge phantom boat on my land in Tompson, it vanished after a login, but STILL shows on the map.

Earlier this week I sold Tompson (the entire sim) and a chunk of Honawan - the new owner's changes have yet to show, and the boat's still there too....

The level of bugs in SL has now reached the point where it's more difficult to find a working feature than a bugged one - which is why I'm cashing out, only about 30k m2 to go now!

Yeah. I had 1/4 sim in meins, with my land marked with a big green border. I've now expanded considerably, and have marked my new border, but the old one still shows up, and my current land holdings *don't* show, and some that I no longer have *do*.

It's annoying. I didn't buy all that land only not to be able to mark it on the big map to show how cool and important I am. ;)

Did they give you any idea of when it might be fixed? It's been nearly two weeks already. If it gets too far out of date, the map is going to lose a lot of it's usefulness.

No, the Linden I talked to didn't have an ETA and I wasn't too concerned about it personally...it was just something I'd noticed and wanted to check with them about.

I bugged it. If I receive any sort of response, I'll post it up here.

It would appear that the Global Map has updated. It is still slightly out of date, but at least it is not stuck anymore.

It's been out of action since the 8th, which is pretty sloppy for the key way of getting around SL.

Yellow land highlighting broke last week, as did updates of land price the week before (set land for sale, drop it 10% 2 days later, the MAP price took 2-3 days to update).

Myland map looks fully updated, but I notice Traffic isn't updating any more, I'm on land with over 7k traffic and it's just not appearing in find places, or mabye Find's broken again.

Doesn't ANYTHING work properly in SL any more? :mad:
