Good 'un Jeff, - now you've had a practice and saved us all from ourselves, you can zoom off and Save the World. Get yerself some of those red over-the-tights underpants and send the bill to the Club Treasurer.

I don't believe this has been caused by me (if this has been this way for a few weeks) so initially it feels like some unexpected interaction between the vBulletin/Forum scripts and Googles mapping API. But it's going to take me a while to work this out - never had to look into anything like this before.

Jeff (et al),
it's got something to do with accessing the map using the usual https (encrypted) mode. If you edit the url to remove the s in https, it presents at it should. Wierd....

"a theory should be as simple as possible, but not simpler"
Well Mark,
I've "chopped" the "s" out of the URL as you did, and I get the map displayed but watermarked with "For Development Purposes Only" and in a friend dull grey colour.
A brief skip through the internet would seem to indicate that the Google maps service is no longer free (it seems this possibly happened a couple of months ago). To re-enable it I would need to associate a bill paying mechanism to the connection and be prepared to pay, on demand, what they charge once you've used up your "free entitlement".
I doubt that we're that worried by the map facility and extras that Google can offer and there remain some alternative (and still free) options that could replace it.
I'll keep people updated though I wouldn't suggest holding your collect breath, yet.
The map stopped working when the site was upgraded from ver 5.5 php to 7.
This secured the site allowing https to be used.
As only 2 people noticed in over 4 months, it was clearly not used. The developer of the map has not got around to changing his script and may never do so.
If Jeff has found a new version that can bypass Google profit making system, I'm sure a new one will appear.
Jeff not sure your aware or not but support for PHP7 stops in 12/2018
