BrightKite is Correctly Finding and then Changing an Address
I've got a weird problem with a changing address. I put in "St James' Church, Church Lane, Finchampstead, RG40 4LU[St James' Church]" for the search, which correctly lists the Church in RG40 on the results, however when I click through to "View Place" the address is changing to Church Lane in Shinfield, RG2 9, which is a totally different village about five miles away, although oddly the map is still showing the correct location.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?RTPeat, thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will take a look and see if we can fix the problem.

Inappropriate?I have a similar problem. I checked in to Paradise South Australia and the interface is reporting I visited Paracombe South Australia which is miles away. It is also reporting I visited Thebarton South Australia when I never checked in there.
I’m annoyed

Inappropriate?Hi yellek, you've stumbled across a known bug that unfortunately has to be fixed case by case. For your checkin that shows as Thebarton, where did you actually checkin?
We'll add those two to the list and fix them as soon as we can. If you come across any others, please list them here.

This solves the problem

"yellek checked in @ 263 Gorge Rd (263 Gorge Rd, Athelstone SA 5076, Australia) - about 15 hours ago" but this reports me as having visited Thebarton -
Great, thank you. :)

Inappropriate?Hi, the original problem doesn't appear to have been solved, as the placemark is still coming up as Church Lane, Shinfield when the location is Church Lane, Finchampstead. However my brother-in-law found a similar location issue which I've been able to repeat.
He tried to check in both at Suffield, Alberta, or alternatively at Ralston, Alberta, but Brightkite comes up with a page for Redcliff, Alberta which is about twenty miles further along Highway 1.

Inappropriate?RTPeat, I found a temporary workaround for the original problem by searching for:
Church Lane, Finchampstead, RG40 4LU [St James' Church]
Which brings up this: http://brightkite.com/places/243dea98...
That doesn't take care of the problem with the actual listing, but you can placemark the place above for easier checkins.
Thank you for letting us know about Suffield and Ralston, I will add those to our to do list. -
Inappropriate?That appears to have solved the problem - check-ins are coming up with an address that makes sense now.
I’m happy
