Up at the top right of each-n-every page, registered members (who are logged in) will see a Member Map link.

Click it, and you're taken to a map (different countries are selectable via the drop-down menus below the default map) where you can display a pin over your location.

To manage your pin, click the "Manage My Pin" button at the bottom center of the page and follow the instructions to place your pin.

When you have placed your pin, you must click the "Done" button at the top of the page to save your changes.

If you hover your mouse over a pin on the main map, it shows you the name of the user who placed it. If you click the pin, it takes you to that user's profile.

Enjoy!

fun!!

the mouse slipped and i put myself in the lake, then trying to remove it i put myself there twice.
but i never did click 'done'
geography was never my forte,

this is way cool!

Oh, i like this game!

I look like I am on the columbia river, halfway in between Oregon and Washington, hehe.

I think Ohio will be a red blob before too long...

isn't it already?

How did I guess Dan was gonna pin himself in northern Alaska?

Unfair!

Everyone's pin is taller than mine! I had to keep moving south.

Norwood represent!

Cincinnati was already gettin' too populated...

~fff

He's there to protect the Artic National Wildlife Refuge from our goverment's superfluous oil drilling. He may be tied to a tree or a polar bear....you never know with that boy.

I considered making that joke last night when I posted, but I figured others would make the connection.

I also considered asking Drew if he could change the pin colors...

Ooh....Fun!

Actually, that makes sense (even though no one formally asked me)... I've changed the colors.

Now it looks like Ohio is the center of some great forest-planting project.

Patrik

So is KY, Bill.

Matt Q ( who is safely back in a blue state )

Edit: Forgot to mention how incredibly cool this is. Thanks, Drew!

I think I score 3/10 after I managed to get myself on dry land & not in the middle of the Bristol Channel on attempt 26, I'm hard to spot though... down the bottom on the left.

Tim

I tried again! the Europe map is far easier to use & there is already company

Brandon, what are you doing out in the middle of the Atlantic?

maybe he's found an island? maybe he feels some solidarity with the dweebe who placed herself on a lake. although, so far, i have been able to move myself more inland.

PARTY ON BRANDON'S ISLAND!
GO!
d.

KEITHFROMNY!!!!!

(ummm im about to make an idiot of myself, you were warned)

i thought ny meant the state not the city!
you live in nyc?
you live in nyc!

pack's bags....with adoption forms in hand....

Wow, I place myself on a river, D places herself on a lake, and Brandon placese himself on a freaking ocean!!! Sheesh, some people really like thier bodies of water.


AND apparently Christina moved from Seattle, to the very tippy top fiord of Norway.

am I the only one that can't hit this link? can't hit it from work or home...

*****bump*****

just like real life dear, just like real life.

I was getting buried by Cincinnati folks, so I moved my pin just a little further north.

I still can't hit the link, can someone type it out?

so did dan.

<---- laughing on the inside.

**bump**

So, I did finally show up on da map. I only did it about a zillion times because I could never get a pin to show up. Huh!

np: I Don't Want To Be A Soldier - Cowboy Junkies, Early 21st Century Blues

bump---diddy-bump, bump, bump!

pardon my bump.

With the upgrade, we switched to a new version of the Member Map. You'll need to re-pin your location on the map.

this new map doesn't give out addresses of users does it?

janelle, you can just type in city & zip and get the info if that concerns you.

oh, okay. thanks. i just don't want creepy older men (with red hair) to know where i live.

My hair isn't red!

That's like an open invitation, isn't it?

Wouldn't it help if you didn't list the city you live in on your tagline?

The member map asks for longitude/latitude and sends you to maporama.com to find it. Maporama.com has a space for your street address - that's what Janelle was referring too.

But like Bill said, your city, state & zip is enough.

ahhh missed that part. Thanks Michelle. I suppose Janelle could always enter in someone elses address, or a warehouse in a scary part of KC if she's really worried about red headed strangers. Hehehe.

By the way I'm still looking for that Martha Wainwright CD for ya. No dice. But I found a bunch of good stuff for me.

Any way this'll come back (along with the Statistics) in a future version?

Now that M and I are moving to a place on the map that doesn't have such a high concentration of Apples...

~fff

Where are you moving, and when?!

Out of the loop...

Regarding the member map thing... There is an incompatibility with the version of IPB that we're running. The author is supposed to be working on it. Once it's fixed, I'll re-add it.

Eugene, OR... in late-Aug/early-Sept. We're gonna be Ducks at UO.
