Hi, I'm new here (I just realized that this website had a forum :stupid:) and I was perusing the SE Tracks section and noticed that Daytona didn't have a completed turn-by-turn guide so I decided to start one. But then I looked at the supplied map and realized that it wasn't correct and that it was missing the bus-stop (and corner numbering). I tried, but for the life of me I could not figure out how to change to map to a better one. Is this something that can be edited by any user or is that privilege limited?

Hey Meat welcome to Trackpedia. You should just be able to upload the file to replace the image up there. Make sure your logged in, click on the picture of the track itself which will take you to another page with information about the picture, then just click on the "Upload a new version of this file" which should allow you to upload a new picture.

If this doesn't help let me know and I can try to figure out whats going on. Sometimes it takes closing and reopening your browser to see the change after you have uploaded it due to the browsers cache.

Thanks, but I keep getting a message saying "The upload directory (public) is not writable by the webserver."

Trying to fix it here. Got around the first issue but working through a follow on. Damn hackers making me tighten permissions caused this. Sorry for the problems but I'll get them addressed here ASAP today.
