I've saved every configuration in privacy settings of Mark My Position on Map and Randomise My Location.
In Map Tools I've searched for my username, set a radius filter and searched, and manually searched, and
used Map Filters to reduce the data burden. Nothing seems to put me on the map.
Interesting to Note: While checking map functionality I set a Radius filter and clicked Map Message,
a new browser page opened reading "Access Denied - Securi Website Firewall" (screenshot attached).

Ah, I wasn't looking there. It's off by about 15 miles. No big deal, thank you sir.
Hey Eric, it's actually designed that way so no one can actually pinpoint your property or location exactly. It's for privacy and security reasons that @Michael designed into the program. Just in case someone happened to know you were out of town and things of that nature. It won't ever exactly pinpoint you.

I don't show up either. Type my username in the search box and it doesn't show.

Since I have more than one test case, I'm going to attempt to fix your account and see if i know the issue. Stand by.
Ah, your location is "East Texas" which does not resolve in our map system. "Houston, TX" would however. If you edit your location in account details, you will show up (it takes a day).

Michael,

It's fixed! I'm on the map, and in Search Member box. I checked Map Message and it seems to be fixed as well. Testing of various radius filter sizes and looks like 100 recipients is the limit. Is that the way it's supposed to be?
(Larger radius with more recipients opens the Access Denied firewall page linked in my op.)

Thanks!

John
