My laptop just informed me that Adobe Flash Player is at its "end of life" and no longer supported.  That is how my maps were working.  So, now what?   Isn't that what PBS was using? How is anyone supposed to see their maps now?  I am sure that there are other sites that I use that is going to have the same issue.

I went to maps on my transaction archive and found this note from PBS:

 

'New maps to display the books members have mailed and received are under construction. We apologize for any inconvenience!'

Mine is not showing that anywhere.  Just shows "not supported".  Well, at least I know that they are trying to do something.   Thanks.

I removed Adobe Flash Player from my laptop  last month when I was notified of this.

I guess I need to remove it, also.  I wonder what PBS is doing with their maps now, though.

There are other spots in the system that use flash player as well.  Hope they get this working.

Yeah.  Still "under construction".  Not holding my breath since they haven't done a newsletter in 2 years.
