Pebcak Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Don - Sounds like eating heaven! All - I think the Member's Map is here to stay. So, I've made some changes to it: First, I made an executive decision and did away with the Willing To Help label on the map so everyone is equal. I suspect most, if not all, of us are willing to help and not having that label implies one isn't. Second, given the map I'd like to do away with the listing of members on the Willing To Help thread. In fact, I think we ought to rename the thread Member's Map. My thinking is that's the thread I'd like to use to have people sign up for being on the map. But, I'd like to hear from y'all on that, please. Third, I've put the map on a page on the website: Bullnose Forum/Member's Map Forth, I've played around with the width of the map on the Member's Map page: . I now have it just about as wide as it can go w/o losing something - as far as I can tell. So, please try it on various devices and see what you think. Fifth, I've changed the link that comes up if you click on a person's pin. Now, instead of going to the page about a person and from there having to click on the Email link, I've placed the email link within the pin. So, there's one less step. But, in doing so I realized that the email link cannot be used by non-members. And, I like that as my priorities are to Bullnose Forum members. What about the people from Oz? Or are you waiting for more input/approval to post locations? For the Map, is there a way to do something like a Member list on one of the sides for name/locations? That might fix from having to zoom out if you're wanting to tweak it more. Otherwise, it all looks good to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 What about the people from Oz? Or are you waiting for more input/approval to post locations? For the Map, is there a way to do something like a Member list on one of the sides for name/locations? That might fix from having to zoom out if you're wanting to tweak it more. Otherwise, it all looks good to me! Dennis/Whisler - See if you are ok with the location Google chose for Campbell County. Don/Pebcak - I'm not placing anyone on the map w/o their consent. They may not want it shared, so I'll wait to do so until they say it is ok and, for that matter, what that location should be. As for a list, have you tried clicking the icon on the very left of the header bar? I'm trying to keep that list alphabetical based on first names or, if I don't know the first name, the "handle".

Gary Lewis Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Only issue I see, is if I click on the one over my name it takes me to Vinny's Buckroe Beach info??? If I blow it up and use the list, then it works perfectly, so that is the solution. Bill - I'm confused. If I click on the pin that has your name beside it then it takes me to your info. Please try it again, and refresh your page before you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please try it again, and refresh your page before you do. When I tried on the map pin, it took me to Vinny's Buckroe beach location, if I enlarge the map, then I get the name table on the left side and that takes me directly to an enlarged Eastern Shore map, if Dan Lee lets you put his location, he is also "close" to me, but I can get there without any toll facilities or long water crossings.

I think I see the problem - the names are below the pin, so your name overlays Vinny's pin. Click on your pin, the one right on where you live. Is that a different pin than you've been clicking? As for Dan, I'll contact the "irregulars", slowly, and see if I can get their permission to add them to the map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 G'day mate, have you by any chance seen this car around there? It used to be mine, but the current owner is in Sydney, Doug Westwood. Beautiful car, Bill. Bet you wish you still have it. Just fyi, if Darin doesn't respond soon you can use his pin on the map to email him and ask him if he's seen the car. And, it would be hard to forget that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, as a matter of fact, Matt, and his brother and sister tried to track it down and get it back for me. It was a case of having 3 kids and needing the money so you let it go, my late wife actually left the house when it was picked up, I have given her the engagement ring in it. I had it for 11 years and had a lot of fun. BTW, it still has these on it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
