This new Yahoo map is set up like Google Maps. Hold down the mouse key to drag the map to see other regions of the world. I found the +/- buttons to be buggy, and I didn't try the other buttons.
In case it isn't clear to people, you don't have to log in or create an account or anything. Just fill in the box that overlays the map. Click on the link that the box has to set your location properly, then fill in your name, and click on the browse button to add your avatar, assuming you still have a copy on your local machine and remember where it is.
If you can't find your avatar on your own machine, just copy it from EvC Forum. Place the mouse over your avatar at EvC Forum and right click, then select copy. Go to a directory and click paste, rename as necessary. Now you can go back to the map and click on browse to select that file.

You can use Map Options to enter yourself, but it's not necessary. The first time you visit the map it brings up an empty box on the map with fields for you to fill in. It only has three fields, though: Name, Avatar and Location. You do need to go to Map Options to enter more detailed info, such as creationist/evolutionist.

Images are frequently cached by browsers and webportals, and it is likely that Kuresu has encountered a caching issue.
