Just an idea! Could we possibly have a map with a pin for every members location? :confused:I suppose though with the amount of members there is now it would be a bit of a task! :ashamed:
It would be nice to know if there is any members in your area. I feel kina alone up here! :chicken:
-
Well if you want to help put something together then I will find a way of linking it on the site :happy2:
-
How precise would this be? I don't fancy advertising where my car is parked overnight :scared:
-
Golfgirls spot on , its a great idea but even at a town level resolution I suggest caution
-
I live in a very safe and secure area where crime is low.... even then I wouldn't want to advertise information on the web like that. Nice idea, but its a nasty world out there :rolleye:
-
Good idea! but then agree about advertising where we all live to strangers!
How about just by county rather than the town name!!...???
-
I had thought about the security aspect of the idea. There is some expensive machinery out there. :drool:
Cheers for the input guys. :happy2: Think this one is a non-starter tho :ashamed:
-
dont give up hope Gaz :happy2:
which map were you considering (googles version or other ?)
post the url here.
Then we can all have a look too see if you can configure the 'resolution' to a sufficient level :happy2:
-
I think if it was a small map with big blobs, that might be okay.
Like this:

Cheers John-o! :wink:
Stealth, I think something like that would work. A map thats not too precise, just the general area! :smiley:
-
By county like willzie said! :fighting2:
-
....
Hopefully if the forum does do a map, no matter how vague or general, I wouldn't have to be shown on it at all.
-
Agreed - it would have to be an opt in map. I am sure many people on here wouldn't want details put on.

Any particular reason?
That little blob on my map is meant to be you, in cornwall/devon (coz I'm not sure where you're from) so I figured you like Cornish pasties.

^^^^
You're wrong, stealth - On all counts! I really dislike Cornish Pasties too :sick:
-
Relating to the map that Stealth posted. Instead of the red blobs, couldn't we just have those 12 areas and then when you put the mouse curser over that area it highlights the members in that area. Very vague I know, but it would help those out in that area. Could probabbly chop it into a few more areas - Eire and Wales for example, or down to counties.
Just a thought, because then it would be easy-ish to put it into a dropdown section somewhere on the forum and have the map contained in its own embedded page :smiley:
-
I'd be happy to along with Stealth's or Hurdy's ideas...
-
Me too - wouldn't be too difficult to knock up a map in Flash, though this would be a little more time consuming to keep updated.
-
yep, agree with hurdy :smiley:

indeed :happy2: maybe with data supplied by a php query so we store the user data in the same place as this bb??
