Our fanmily RESOLVED: Member Map not viable option for forum

[NordicGirl]

I feel a bit pushy :finger: for suggesting still another thing this soon, but here it goes:

Could we have a map or a globe or something where one could see where in the world we

GALS-sisters/brothers live?

I know most live in the US, - but after "300" I think there will be markers all over the continents... !!

:yippee: *Go Gerry!* :yippee:

Hugs from Eva Mari :inlove:

Hi Eva Mari,

I think that's a wonderful idea and you're right...after 300...we are going to have new FANmily across the globe.

Gee, if we had a map with little flags...guess I'd feel like I was in Dear Frankie....LOL

Hugs, Linda

Hi! Ladies!

We did have a members map in the beginning.

The funny thing is I just mentioned this to Stef not too long ago.

Her reply was every time she needs to upgrade our server, I think she said it deletes the map.

Let me check with her again and get back with you.

Cheers!

Okie dokie, here's the scoop on having a member map in the forum. Everytime I have to upgrade the forum, I have to reinstall the map, which is fine... but I need the newest version of the map software so it'll work on the newest version of the forum. Our forum right now is the newest version Invision offers and unfortunately at this time, there is no member map software out there that is compatible with this forum. I can see this happening again and again because we have to upgrade so often, so having a forum-based member map is not a feasible idea.

However, there is an alternative. I created a GALS map just now here: http://www.frappr.com/gbgals and you can put your pin in the map at your location and put your name with it. Since this is out in the public (not within the GALS forum), anyone can add a pin (not just GALS members). That's the only drawback.

I hope this is a suitable compromise.

Hugs,

Stef

I've made my mark in the world too!!!

Calling all you gals from Europe, - I'm feeling v lonely on that map...

*Took me some seconds to figure out that the map can be dragged by hand so I appeared again, - in case there are others challenged in the wonderful new world of gadgets... *

[RezzRN]

This is GREAT! I added me! Thanx!

[Lady Trueword]

This is so cool! Thanks, Stef! Hope all the international GALS add their locations to the map!

Hi! Gals!

The admins are going to add the Members Map as a sub forum under

All Things GALS > Getting To Know You.

That way it will be a lot easier to use and everyone can find it!

Cheers!

[MareksLadyD]

Great idea! This is why you are a Mod and I'm not!!!

[zanyzombie]

LOL! Dawn!

Member Map now has it's own subforum. Closing this thread.

Members Map is still not feasible and the referried thread is no longer available.

Sorry to disappoint.
