"[i:25ns94fg]Well, you got me here, I agree with Specious it's a perpetual alpha then. I just don't think it's appropriate to call it pre-alpha, the developers have done quite a job to build at least somewhat working system, which is not a trait of pre-alpha.[/i:25ns94fg]"
According to my understanding of the Greek [b:25ns94fg]alpha[/b:25ns94fg][i:25ns94fg]bet[/i:25ns94fg], beta follows alpha. Classic was Alpha. It was better than any Beta was and now we got crap.
You may call it what you want. It remains crap. |

New problem surfaced...
Adding places gives an error that links and email addresses are not allowed. Inspite of linkfree description, system fails to add the respective thing.
Well, I understand that Beta will Take some time to become user friendly but it still remains an indigestion unless some basic problems like that of bugs and the above are resolved |

Man,
i'm very dispointed with this "new" wikimapia...
I'm not a geek or whatever... the rectangles were the ones you couldnt find in googlemaps...
Sincerely, i have no reasons anymore to use wikimapia rather than googlemaps...
I liked the rectangles with the satelyte and roads , all in the same screen.. did not seem a mess to me...
well.... good luck with your project. |

| I am very pleased with the new Wikimapia. As a trained cartographer and a wannabe techno-geek, the seemingly random rectangles were not intuitive. Sure there are technological hiccups that are being experienced, but such is the nature of advancement. I'm glad to live in a world where things get better with time and that I don't have to be weighed down with mediocre usability flaws (i.e. lame rectangles). |

In response to DrCSKaushik, I agree, Lambda is the greatest. But all the polygons would be of Gordon Freeman and Crowbars.
(You need to play "Half-Life" in order to get that joke). |

| Some new features have been added to the interface just a few minutes ago, e.g. 'Add place (company, shop, etc.) to this building' in the place menu – please check. |

| I like this "Place within a place" idea. Now I can clean up my FSU tags. |

Actually, you probably can't. Or at least not entirely.
It's not really "place within a place", it's "place within a building".
Which means that the "parent" place [u:2rtwmdo7]has to be[/u:2rtwmdo7] marked as a building, otherwise this option isn't available.
And if you "temporarily" make it a building while you assign it its "children" and then switch it back to a non-building, the "children" automatically disappear from the "parent" place.
Sigh. |

| Ideally the 'children' tags should not have the option to be marked as a building because they are not [u:2qeack11]visible tags[/u:2qeack11]. |

What do you mean "not visible tags"? Sure they are. Visible.
Ok, maybe not in Classic mode, but in the other 3 modes they certainly are. |

I'm referring to these places [i:wsxxnid4]within[/i:wsxxnid4] a building. In essence, the only visible building is the parent building (unless there is a glass roof and one can see the 'place within the building').
As of now, the only way we know a building has another building in it is if we open the tag to see the list.
Having a 'building' checkbox in these 'child' or 'sub-tags' is redundant because we know the parent tag is a building.
I suggested a possible improvement here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="wikimapia.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5172&;goto=105334#goto105334">wikimapia.org/forum/viewtopic.ph ... goto105334<!-- m --> whereby an implementation similar to it would indicate the approximate location of the sub-tag within the parent building. |

After a private discussion with RK77 it seems to me that we are both right.
Sometimes this new feature works as it is supposed to (assuming we have guessed its use correctly) and other times it does not. Being tied up with other (outstanding) bugs does not make it an easy thing to figure out. Presumably admin is still working on this new bug. Erh, I mean feature. |

Most of the tags I did make on FSU's campus are buildings. |

| I agree Perazhi, it would be nice. Now, if I wanted an area, I'd need to trace the area needed on a piece of paper, then mark a square with sides equal to the little scale bar in the lower left corner of the screen on the tracing. Then I could calibrate a planimeter using the square and measure the area needed directly. So tedious. |
