It's under more... in the bottom right. You can click more, then edit in the top right, and drag the items you want to the bottom.

Martin May replied on April 07, 2009 06:54 to the problem "Web site keeps displaying 503 Service Unavailable error messages on 4/06/09" in Brightkite:

There was a problem with one of our DNS providers which caused this outage. Things should be back to normal now.

Martin May replied on April 03, 2009 00:24 to the question "Is there an ETA on SMS coming back online?" in Brightkite:

Will do...it's part of a bigger outage, so again, I can't give an ETA, but we'll let you know when things are back in action :)

Martin May replied on April 02, 2009 22:07 to the question "Is there an ETA on SMS coming back online?" in Brightkite:

Working on it. I can't give you an ETA, but it's a top priority for us and we're working feverishly on it, believe me ;)

Go to More...Settings...and it will be at the bottom of the screen.

Martin May replied on February 19, 2009 22:54 to the question "location caching" in Brightkite:

John,

We're doing this:

// throw out anything that is older than our app launch (cached location values)
if ([appStartDate earlierDate:newLocation.timestamp] == newLocation.timestamp )
return;

However, it doesn't seem to work reliably, CL is reporting the loc with a recent timestamp, even though it's old.

A comment on the problem "nokia n810 won't load brightkite universe" in Brightkite:

Essentially, the problem is that your browser (incorrectly) requests

Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/atom+xml,application/rss+xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5

Accept headers are usually processed in a way that things that appear first have preference. Your browser has a bunch of stuff before text/html, which is probably the format you actually want. When I move text/html to the front, it seems to work.

We might be able to work around this based on your UserAgent. I'll look into it. – Martin May, on February 10, 2009 20:59

A comment on the idea "Please make BrightKite ROCK!" in Brightkite:

We're actively working on supporting 2-way Fire Eagle. Unfortunately, Latitude does not offer an API at this time, so that will be a little trickier. – Martin May, on February 10, 2009 17:42

Martin May replied on February 10, 2009 16:12 to the problem "It is 7:51 PST on Monday. You know your site is down, right?" in Brightkite:

We had one of our database servers fail last night. Outage time was about 30min. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Martin May replied on February 04, 2009 20:51 to the idea "Google Latitude Integration" in Brightkite:

We might offer such integration down the road, if Google offers a way to do that (right now they don't).

Martin May replied on January 29, 2009 05:00 to the question "Will there be a view count added to photos someday?" in Brightkite:

Yes

Martin May replied on January 18, 2009 23:54 to the idea "Private locations" in Brightkite:

You can do this by setting sticky place privacy on a place. Check out a place page, just under the checkin button.

Martin May replied on January 12, 2009 18:05 to the question "Palm Pre webOS app?" in Brightkite:

Since it was just announced, and details are still sparse, this is a tough question to answer right now. However, from what we've seen so far, it's highly likely that we'll have a client for the Pre.

Martin May replied on January 09, 2009 23:52 to the idea "brightkite wall boolean search" in Brightkite:

You can do boolean searches. OR is the default operator between words. The above query would be written as:

(ale lager wine stout) AND (dinner party)

Martin May replied on January 03, 2009 14:44 to the idea "Brightkite could automatically put me in "Private" mode for sensitive locations" in Brightkite:

Jimdoo,
You can achieve the desired behavior by going to a Brightkite place page (e.g. http://brightkite.com/places/356a192b...), and then clicking "Privacy at this place" just under the checkin button.

There, you can configure a radius around the place where you always want to default to a certain privacy setting.

Hope that helps,
Martin

Martin May replied on December 17, 2008 03:44 to the idea "BrightKite should offer Facebook Integration" in Brightkite:

We're pretty close to having that done.

Martin May replied on December 17, 2008 03:42 to the idea "Check In Search Using Last Check In" in Brightkite:

That's exactly how it works :)

Martin May replied on December 08, 2008 19:16 to the question "How do I report a user? This user seems to be a bot of some kind." in Brightkite:

Erik, thanks for letting us know. We've determined that this user was in violation of our TOS, and have deleted the account.
