Re: my balloon has gone

Not sure why it's disappeared, but you should be able to add it back again

Re: my balloon has gone

My Baloon has gone aswell, but I cant put it back . When I try to edit I just get a blue screen and when I use the arrows for direction it is all blue, no sign of a map at all. It looks like I have annoyed someone and have been dumped in the North sea ,

Goosey mine showed up blue it's because your in the ocean somewhere so you need to zoom out to see exactly your balloon is before you can relocate it! I did notice that you weren't on the map the other day coming to think of it, but wasn't sure if you had put one up!

Re: my balloon has gone

I just checked mine and it seemed to have drifted to somewhere off the coast of Africa. The winds must have been brisker than I thought over the last few days. It should be back at home now, safely tethered down, I hope.

Re: my balloon has gone

Not sure if its related Stu, but since I re-submitted my location to the map my email alerts have stopped.From memory the last time they stopped was around the time I originally entered my location on the map.Might be worth looking into in case its a bug of sorts.

Re: my balloon has gone

I found my balloon. It was in the middle of the Pacific Ocean!! Is someone trying to tell me something or has Richard Branson hyjacked it?
Can't get it to work now...think it's waterlogged.
