Yes, pretty much any error with a Place which causes the save to not go through, cannot be undone. The devs are aware of these issues with Places and hopefully are working on fixing.

What I have discovered recently is that it appears something (WME or userscript) is duplicating a newly created Area Place. The error which is occuring is that the backend is refusing to create two Area Places with the same name which touch each other.

In many cases of creating a new Area Place, after I reload the window (only option), that the Area is there just fine. Even though just a moment before, the Save counter was at 6 or 7 but WME refused to save.

Like the new editor. :) Would have loved to see these improvements:

Can you also put the UR conversation toggle button, in the "less" UR pane?

And can you let the close X button, for closing streetview, move down, when you're in an UR view (both "more" and "less" view)?

Thanks,

In WME 1.6 it is possible to see who closed a MP or UR. But, if someone adds a comment to a closed report, the name and date of the user who closed the report is overwritten by the user who issued the last comment. I guess this is not the wanted behavior.

From what I can tell this is how thing work in the app search for places:

A). If you search using the search box on the map page you get auto-complete and only Google results
B) if you don't choose an auto complete but press search you get Google results by default but can choose a different search provider at the bottom with a left-right scroll
C) if you press navigate and enter a search term you get auto complete but it is a mixture of Google and Waze

If you have a Waze defined place that exactly matches the search string you seem to get that place in C but not in A. If you have a place where the name matches the Google name you get the google name in C and not the Waze place name.

I may have some of this wrong but this is what appears to happening. I have been having a constant battle over routing to the Austin-Bergstrom Airport caused by this search behavior.

Forgive my ignorance...still new to WME, but I did make some changes several months ago (probably before the new version) and now I'm wanting to make some changes/additions, when I click on the 'Edit The Map' from 'Live Map' screen, the screen goes blank, a progress circle appears in the middle of the screen (as if it's loading but no motion to it) and sits there. I even tried jumping directly from http://www.waze.com/editor. Is it not availble to everyone?

Thanks
