I placed myself at McMurdo Station and it shows up on the map but clicking the icon throws a 500 error.
Edit: seems to be fixed (by removing my icon from the map, now it throws error 500 when posting the data to re-add it).
Edit 2: you can place yourself in North Korea but clicking the [M] doesn't work because the name contains non ASCII characters. Also it returns error 405 when adding yourself (despite actually saving the data).
Thanks for reporting all this!

This was because there was no country code associated to it.

I actually did more than removing it, I now make any "city" without a country code, an invalid one. It's a hotfix, I'll have to think about it more tbh.

Yeah, actually I'm dumb I reintroduced a "vulnerability" by not checking if the city in the form was the same as the city in the HN user profile. So you could move people around, basically. But their actual data was unchanged of course, as it's stored here on HN. That's why I was able to revert this.
About the ASCII characters, yes it's a problem. I'll implement it as soon as possible, when things will calm down a bit.
Can you tell me more about the 405 though? It seems strange.
