    I've tried multiple times to add a new pinball location, I enter all of the pertinent information, but once I submit the entry does not show up on the map.

    Pretty sure you need to be logged in/signed up with email addy.
    Then they probly still take a day or so to actually review the info befor putting it up?

    Pinballmap.com / Pinballmap app?

    All submissions for new locations must be approved by the local admin. Most admins are good and new locations show up on the map 24 hours within submission but a few don't do a good job and they sit for weeks. Pinballmap is working on weeding out the bad ones and getting more motivated admins in those areas. Approval is required because otherwise we often get very inaccurrate/incomplete data (think mis-spelled locations, wrong addresses, wrong region, etc..).

    I've seen a few others have had trouble as well.

    The location doesn't actually show up, but it is still recorded by the site. The date the location was added will show up as "November -0001" instead of the actual date. You have to go to the location, select "edit the location" and then save it without edits, and then it shows up.
