Can you guys confirm for me that you've been using the Trip Builder to mess with your maps since writing the blog entries in question? I've isolated two ways that this would have happened, only one of which applies to the entries in question. And I notice that you both have little black "waypoint" dots on your maps, so that pretty much convinces me. (I've fixed the problem, so you can continue using the Trip Builder now and it shouldn't hurt anything).

Fortunately, I only found 29 affected blog entries across the whole site, so it should be easy enough to clean up.

Sorry again for the hassle!

Exactly the same reason. Wow, I hadn't ever noticed it, but thinking about the events that happen when we save a blog entry, yeah, I can definitely see why it might take forever to reorder a trip.

I'll fix that as soon as I get a chance. Thanks for bringing it up!

Usually I'm not reordering anything, just adding one to the end, which I'm sure shouldn't take long if that's all the routine does.

Yeah, it doesn't actually matter. The Save routine for that page simply spins thru all the towns in the list and saves them again regardless of whether they've changed. Since "saving" also meant linking up those place names (which is quite slow), it would try to process each location again, taking forever in the process.

It's fixed at my end now. I'll push it live tomorrow.

Did this change go live? I'm still finding it very slow...
