Posts from chester7777 in thread „JWMB Feature - Member Map, Members Gallery“

    I don't see the South America one . . . .


    You have to scroll down to the very, very bottom.


    (after checking again . . . )
    OOPS, it looks like the guy is gone. There was a member there, I remember being surprised by it. Then, more recently, I noticed a few weeks ago, when looking at the map, that even though the list of members was there, none of the markers showed, so maybe after that was resolved, some never made it back onto the map.


    What can I say??:embaressed_smile:

    Another bump to the top - I was looking at the member map and see that some more members have placed their coordinates there. There are still a lot of you hiding out there - most notably our Canadian members . . . .

    Jay,


    Thanks for bumping this again! I see some of our newer members have signed onto the map (Panhandle comes to mind), and Keith has gotten himself on the map since our earlier posts, but I still don't see Robbie or Ringo, or our Canadian contingent either (c'mon, Murray, start a trend :D ).


    For you newbies who are wondering what we are talking about . . . look near the top of the screen, towards the right, and you should see a link for "Member Map" and all you have to do is click and follow the simple directions. Watch for a minus sign in front of either the latitude or longitude, because that minus sign makes a difference.


    Looking forward to seeing more of you on the map!

    Jay,


    You are right! I see that Keith and Robbie haven't signed up, nor has Ringo!


    ZSMaverick needs that little minus sign in front of his latitude and that will bring him back into the US instead of the middle of China :D .


    Thanks, Jay, for bumping this back to the top.


    And all you JWMB members who haven't gotten yourselves on the Member Map - get to it! We want to see you there!

    It didn't work for me either because the cheapo computer I use does not allow any down-loading.

    I don't think the member map requires any downloading, but I could be wrong.

    I don't know how it is for everybody else, but when I click on Member Map (BTW, I right click and in the drop down menu, I choose Open in New Window), it opens to a squished looking map of the United States.


    Below the map, if you click on the word "Larger" a few times, and then use the zoom tool on the left, you will see all the little red flags as the map zooms out to encompass all the continents. When you click on each one, it pops up with a little box with the member's name in it!


    So I can see that Arthur and Vera (Senta) have both made their mark on the world of Duke fans! And so have Kevin, clancy, Hondo, Jay J. Foraker, ejgreen77, dukefan1, Chilibill (William T Brooks), and ourselves!


    I hope our friends all around the world will take the time to put themselves on the map.


    GREAT, fun feature, Kevin! Thanks for adding it!

    Jay,


    When you click "My Location" and it asks for coordinates, you can go to


    Maporama (it should open in a new window)


    and put in your city and zip code and then it will give you longitude and latitude coordinates (in a box to the lower left, labeled Information), which you can copy and paste into the "My Location" blanks.


    I hope this helps!

    The above post is copied from Board News and Announcements.


    I got us logged in on the map, and it is pretty cool!


    There is a secondary site you have to go to, to get your latitude and longitute coordinates (and make sure you use the decimal coordinates and not the one with the degrees), but it was pretty easy to use.


    I look forward to seeing more red marks on the map to see where y'all are around the world!
