Member Map

[Becky]

The Garden Pond Forums Member Map is now up and running! You can access it here:

https://www.gardenpondforum.com/memberMap/

We will put a link on the main page in the future - it's proving a little tricky but we'll get there!

If you want to add your location, simply click on the button in the right hand corner.

Thats pretty cool to be able to see about where in the world everyone is from, I added mine.

It should almost be a requirement to join, just because so many people have questions on pond depths, plants, things you need to know location to be able to help with thier questions. I know some people don't really want that info out there though.

Also, I see if you click on the map, it brings up the member and you can clcik on thier name and go to thier profile. Is there a way to make it go the other way too? so if you are on thier profile and you clcik on thier location, it bring you to that map?

I noticed that you get a notification if someone you are friends with adds their location.

The member map is currently in beta, so we'll need to look into whether it's possible to do this. I agree it would be very useful!

What are the different colors? FISHIN shows up as green; mine and 2 others are blue; and the rest are red. Moderator? On-line? Off-line?

 

[Becky]

As far as I can tell, moderators and admin are green, and everyone else is red. The blue icons appear when there are two markers that are close together - if you zoom in a bit that should disappear and you will see the individual red markers.

 

[addy1]

If someone is your friend it shows as green with a F in the green. Blue with a little house: i.e. your home for your icon

 

[Mmathis]

Well, then, I gotta make more friends

Thanks, ADDY!

Neat feature. Added mine.

I was thinking the exact same about how it'll help members to know who to ask about region specific ponding questions. Very kool feature.

Can you repost this so more people might be able to read it and participate?
