Very, very strange.

I disabled all scripts and started panning around on Zoom=0

Down in Orange County, I could view all URs including those over 30 days.
As I moved northwest into Los Angeles, I'd see some drop every now and then, until Whittier appeared at the corner of the screen. Around that area, moving closer to LA would cause ALL of them (even those displayed at the right of the map) to go blank.
Moving back into Orange County, they would come back slowly (not all at once)...
When I move to Los Angeles and move southeast, there is nothing on the map until I clear LA and then they start popping on.

Perhaps this is a limit of the Waze server to only display a maximum number of URs and to self-filter older reports when that number is exceeded? It certainly makes sense given the apparent progression.

I thought there was an option for the pop-up to appear to the side/corner of the screen... no?

Idea for an option...

We have the ability to select and invert some of the selections, but to help track down and resolve actual map issues that are not repaired due to new editors closing URs, would it be possible to add the "Open" checkbox option under the "Closed/Solved/Unresolved" options?

Basically an inversion of closed, with the other filter options available (comments, age, etc....)
It would make it easier to find closed reports on a map as cluttered as Los Angeles.

Ditto, except it was happening more frequently to me... nearly every time.
Box is too far to reach the "Open in new WME Window" tag

I see other drive pages at the bottom of the list, when I scroll the list so I see the oldest drives on the list.
My drives are clickable back to September 29, but the listing is 71 pages long going back to May.

Call me a dummy, but how are some of these, such as [NOTE] left on the map? I don't see a way to do it in the app, WME, or livemap.

Can these, such as note, be configured (and I know this is a WME issue, not URO) so they can not be closed by a lower ranking editor? I don't think I've ever seen a UR tagged as a note.

EDIT like this one. Unfortunately you need edit privileges in an area to see the URs, so you may not be able to see this.
Ya, can't see it.

Interesting... what is the closure policy on [NOTE]?

Any special URs should be closed only after the conditions they describe expired, sometimes indefinitely. A [CLOSURE] or [EVENT] UR for example can safely be closed say a week after the closure expires, if there is no continuing conversation.
I should have been more specific.

I meant from the Waze side of things... is there anything to prevent an L1 on a "7 day rule" closing spree from closing them?

Not in this area.
Red roads, closed URs, no response to PMs, etc...
