Hi Stephen. Thank you for your reply. Yes, I have location sharing turned-on for the Droid phone. Your response tells me though, that the issue must be with my own phone, since you didn't experience the issue. I actually use an iPhone 4 myself (no issues), but have an old Samsung, running Jelly Bean (Android version 4.1), that I use to test websites and my story maps. That phone, because it's an old model, can't be upgraded to a more recent Android version. I suspect the problem might be with the outdated version of Android. Does anyone know if this is actually the case? Anyone else have issues with their story maps on old Android versions? If I can verify that the issue is simply an outdated OS, I can stop concerning myself with it. Thank you! Greg ... View more

Hi Stephen. Thank you! That solves it. I'm moving the app to a secure hpps website. Glad to have that problems solved as it was making the map app useless to me, but I didn't want to give up on it. I appreciate it! ... View more

Hi Adrian, Thank you for your response. Yes, I've made sure the location settings are turned-on for each of the few Android devices on which I've tested the app. I created the short list based story map on my notebook computer, then opened it on both I-phones and Droids. I've not created any story maps, other than with the short list template, that use a geo-location button. The geo-location button is critical for use of these short list apps I created. I've not been able to find any info online to help with this problem. This suggests it must not be a common problem, yet I can't figure-out what's wrong. Greg ... View more

I figured out the problem. All of my tested browsers (Chrome, IE, Firefox) were blocking the websites from loading inside the story map app because they were claiming that it contained "unauthenticated scripts" or "insecure content". With two clicks, I was able to allow the content thus fixing the problem. However.... This begs another question... How can I "authenticate" this content such that I can share the story map with others, without them having the same problem that I had? ... View more

OK, you're javascript blocker comment set me a path where I figured out the issue... I'm not using any such blockers.

oops, I meant "I'm" fairly technical. Adding a url is not technical at all. On Mon, Jan 25, 2016 at 7:39 AM, Gregory Klein <logiasophia@gmail.com> ... View more

I agree. It seems very simply and fairly technical. I've entered both the url and embeded the source using iframe tags. There is no error message. The website simply fails to show-up in either edit or view modes. It's as though I never entered anything. No pop-ups, etc. And, yes, I've tried it with simply domains like cnn.com. I've even created a new story map journal with only one section to retest... http://arcg.is/1ntfaOM same problem -- it's as though I never entered anything.
