POI submission problem

[pillboxman]

Hi

just for information.

I have tried to update a location on the free POI database (Weatherspoons in Bath)

The update submission asks for the POI Number, but the submission form will not permit the number to be entered. Catch 22

I have tried using IE, Safari and Opera, no go on any of them.

Hi.. It's actually working correctly, but it's not immediately clear unless you read the instructions in the links to the right of the submission page.

It says there:

@ Richard... maybe the form could make that a bit clearer?
It could do with a note beside the greyed out boxes and a re-write of the "hover text" when you mouse over the "?" sign.

And in the instructions, maybe change it from this:

3. Click on the icon of the POI that you want to change. The POI Title, Category, SubCategory and ID are shown above the Google Map.

4. Click on the link associated with the POI, shown for example as ID:1234, to transfer the information to the form.

to this:

3. Click on the icon of the POI that you want to change on the map.
A line of text will now appear immediately above the Google Map, showing the POI's Title, Category, SubCategory and ID number.

4. Click on the underlined ID number in that line of text (shown for example as ID:1234), and that will automatically transfer the relevant information into the main form at the top.

If the POI pages are going to be rewritten, can I suggest another minor enhancement?

It would help greatly if there was an option to clear the data already entered in the form. If you have already selected an existing POI, and populated the form with its data, then decide that this isn't what you wanted to do - you need to Add a New POI instead, then you currently have to refresh the whole page; there is no way to clear down the POI ID field without doing this.

It's probably not worth doing this as a change to the existing submission page, but if it is going to get a major overhaul, then it could be included at this point.

Thanks!

Thank you Andy_P for your help.

All is clear now and I have been able to update a POI.
