Christopher had a great idea to create a member map. This should be really neat to see where we all live.

I think you have to change the permissions on the map to make it Public before we can add our locations. Thank you for doing the legwork to get it started!
I dont think so, seemed to work for me. Just click add marker. Second button in the top row.Quote:

Yeah, the little upside down tear drop symbol in the toolbar lets ya add a new marker.
I'm not looking for your address, just an area so that I can PM people to kick it. Yes, you can Google Map people; this will be helpful in knowing whom to PM.Quote:

You also have to edit the name of the point to your own.
There are a few on there that are just "Point #" with no other information on it.
I just can't get it to work. I tried many combos. I done with it.
Does it require to have a gmail acct?
I re-added a point for my self ..I removed the first one because it was right on my home.
I didnt want to have a pointer to my house so someone could steal my Torch/Glass.
Added, yeah it was pretty much as simple as hitting the little red flag thingy, double clicking the point on the map you want, and then typing your name instead of pointXX whatever. Then you can drag the point like you would any other marker on maps.
No new place yet.Quote:

OK, I think that worked for me.
Added. Cool idea.
BUMP! Please add yourself, I'm even lonelier over here now that I see the map!!!
Just added myself as well, Awesome Idea!
added me self, I'm the storm trooper icon!
Someone moved me... any way to lock the points once added?
Added
this means i have to try to remember my google login...
Added myself. I forgot we live so close Monte.
im in,
Looks like it's working for most people.
I'm not sure how to lock the pins once they are place. Since it is a "public" map ( i.e. you don't need an invitation to add to the map) anyone can add and make changes. Not ideal, but I'm not sure if there is a solution.
Also I think you can only add a pin if you have a google account.
Lowtide, when you get the bugs worked out start a new thread and I'll make it a sticky for you. :)
I added myself , think I moved Price when I was zooming in on my phone, sorry Price you took a trip to visit Glocc in new mexico, I tried to return you by your home in Illinois
Really can you move someone's pin? That's not good.
I added my logo and put in my City and state in the info just in case someone moves me... just put me back on Clovis! LOLOL
I've been moved to Las Cruses, ABQ, and some where on the east coast so far.... lol wish i got to travel that much!
I don't have the red icon under my search bar. It's probably my security settings. I even try to lower the security settings as low as possible and it still doesn't work. I have similar problems on other sites.
When I am home I try to pick up a free wifi signal since I don't have internet there. I think the owner (I have no idea where the signal comes from) found out and got into my computer. I am not being paranoid, further proof is that my bookmarks disappear regularly. I don't know if it is someone's idea of getting me back for using their wifi... but I'm not gonna stop. ;)
I think the only way to prevent people from being able to move icons, by mistake of course ;) , is to not have it open to the public. This kinda sucks as the whole point of the map was to allow you to put the marker where you want it, write what you want, ect. I didn't realize that also meant you can move, or delete other markers on the map.
The only other option is to make it a private map, which I am then the moderator for. People can PM or email me where they want me to put the marker.
I will leave it up to you all to decide what you want to do. Or if anyone knows more about this than I do, or has other ideas please let me know :)
Prolly best if you mod it then. Will take only one troll to ruin it.
Maybe have 2 maps a public one where people can add, and a private one you mod that will be linked here, let people add their spot to the public one then copy it to the private one
Good idea :)
Bumpitty bump bump bump...
We've got 31 members on the map so far, and I know we've got a whole bunch more active members on this board...please add yourselves! Keep going until I find some people in my area!

I like Enigma's idea.
I will periodically copy over the map and save it privately. That way if a troll ruins everything I can pull up a recent copy.
Thanks all, the map is looking great!
I have added myself to However I , I , I, think that I am scared out here all by my lonesome, oh wait I am a big boy I can handle it. Whew!! I was scared there for a minute. :)
just saw this,so added mine
Bump
Is this going to become a sticky?
Added my pin!
