Members map

[Sonnyj]

Howdy Y'all
Went to the members map the other day, and much to my surprise I can't see all of you like before. Where'd every body go?
The map and the photo gallery or my favorite places on the forum, so please run up your flag, on the the map.
Thanx all.
Cheers
Sonny:cheers:

How?????

[rotor]

Easy,

Go into Map >> right next to FAQ on the far right of the grey menu up top ....

Then enter your postal ZIP Code into the box provided under "Information for your own entry" (you may need to open the entry area by clicking on the two small arrows http://www.rotorcraft.com.au/images/styles/rotor/buttons/collapse_tcat_collapsed.gif on the end of the line ...

Another box will open with the name of your town or district next to the ZIP Code box and you may need to pick the town from the drop down if there is more than 1 town or place with the same postcode.

Then "Save Entry"

Let me know if you need any more help ....

But i dont,[and never would] live in that dump.

Hey Rotor,
Wot does the km mean? Must mean the kilometres to somewhere, but can't figure it out.

can't say I blame you ... isn't there a closer postcode to where you are?


Hey Rotor,

Think you mean the closest member is [member] and they are [so many] kl's from you and same for the furtherest away ...

Im only 100 miles by gyro road from that dump, and there aint too many mail boxs between us.:rolleyes::D

[Adrian S]

Rotor,

What happens if you spread yourself across 2 locations ie Two Rocks and Bindoon it only allows Adrian S to register one.

Thanks,

Adrian

Sorry Adrian .. as you say it only allows the one flag per member - I'd like to add a few airstrips, Ill see what I can do.

Nope. Doesn't work for me. If we take an example or 2.
1. SamL is listed as "SamL 3041 Strathmore (291 km)"
2. Daveb is listed as "daveb 3193 Black Rock (229km)".

Now, both these blokes are members (ASRA, VSRA, Rotorcraft forum, and probably heaps of other things as well). You could walk from Strathmore to Black Rock in a day (provided you didn't get mugged).

It's all a bit of a mystery. Can you enlighten? :D

[Birdy2]

buggered if i can figure it.:confused:
my flag is the only one with no km after it, and im probably the only one who DONT live anywhere near a town.:D
100 mlies from it to be zact.:)

Fred, you have far too much time on your hands. :):)

Birdy .. know what you meant by km now - when you look at your own flag it wont give you km's after it because on the other members flags that is the distance they are from your flag.

Fred ... as you can see from my reply to birdy - IO had misinterpreted what Birdy meant when he asked what km meant - didn't realise he was talking about the km on the info when you highlighted a flag.

That is the distance from where that other members flag is to where your flag is located .... that means that SamL at Strathmore is 291 km from you at Bairnsdale etc etc. SamL is listed as 1655 km from me at Gladstone. All the member distances from you will be on their flag info.

And I'll get in before some one asks ... the location of the flags on the map aren't as good as what they could be - they're a little out of wack. I'll see if there's anything that can be done to correct it :D

Thanks Rotor,
I worked it out once Birdy said his was the only flag that didn't have a distance. I was about to tell him that mine didn't have one either. Then the penny dropped, brick by brick (or was that the shithouse?) fair on me head. I originally tried it like you said, but I picked a couple of bad examples. Brian is only showing as about 600 km from here, and I know he is at least a half million clicks away. But I forgot about the straight line bizzo. And Mitch is only just across the pond (reckon I could see his joint if I stood on the roof) and he is shown as 381 k.

Paul,
The only reason I've got time on my hands is 'cause I'm not allowed in the airport :D:D:D.

G'day Rotor,
You must have lucked in at exactly the right (or maybe wrong) time. I've been on that group (and its predecessors) for about 10 years, and only made about a dozen posts. Every few years a shit fight starts and it self destructs, and some of them nick off and start a new list. Used to be some really smart critters on the list but down to only a few these days. Some really good info available if you know who to watch (sound familiar?):D:D.
Cheers

[rotor]

I've done a bit of work on the USA map - added all of the states to it ... looked very bland but now looks ok :)


Just for you Sonny :D


:cheers:

Dave (birdy)

I've added Indiana Station to the map info - go back in and put 0870 in for the postcode and you'll now get Indiana Station in the drop down which should put your flag around the right spot ....

all the flags are a little bit out ... I did put your lat and long in - unless I've got the wrong property on google :confused: but I don't think so ... have a look at where it's put SamL -from memory Strathmore wouldn't be more than 15k from the centre of Melbourne :no:

[rotor]

Ok,

Your gonna love me fellas but I've found a google members map that sh!ts all over the present one .... It's very similar to the one we had on the old site.

What I need to know is which one you all like - it will mean placing your link into the new one again but we can't get away from that.

You can get to it from the Home Page in the Main Menu on the left hand side of the page or by following this link:

Gee Rotor that pic of yours is a bit like sonny's avtar mate:rolleyes: actully mitch dose look much better than that when he's sampled a tripple filtered drop. Much more relaxed:D.
The one who just looked in the mirror Des:confused:

[rotor]

Geez Des - now that you mention it :D .... the ears have a little more hair though don't you think :clap::clap::clap: ... mitch's that is .....

[Sonnyj]

Well Des
In defense of the way Mitch looks in that pic, I have to say he looked much better before we killed that square bear the night before:beer:. Thats why we're standing so close, we're holdin one another up :dizzy::D.
Mate, that stuff do pack a wallop:Bat1: oof, my head hurt for a week, but I like it anyway;).

Bullshil Sonny - I can see mitch is holding you up.... I've seen the man with plates in his neck with killer pain killers and three cups of coffee, the man is a trojan. I doubt the scare bear was more than a dim memory...

Cheers,

Nick.

[rotor]

Ok,

Seeing as we had 100% agreement on this - the Google Member map has been adopted. Thanks Sonny ;)

Please ... I know I know (not this again!!) go and place your pin on you location again ..... it's a pain but the software wont let me do it for users ...

Birdy - you'll be happy - you can place your pin right over your property and not go anywhere near Alice .......

Make sure you place info into the two extra fields available or it wont save - those boxes are marked:

"Marker Title" at the top of the map ....
"Marker Text" at the bottom of the map

If you dont fill them in, then the map wont save - and don't put any characters like "!@#$%^&*(){}[] into the boxes or none of the markers will show on the map - just use normal letters and numbers please ......


ok .... need help :confused: :( :anger: - ask :D

:cheers:

rotor

[rotor]

Additional to the characters not to place into the 2 boxes - it seems the program doesn't like following characters either -'<>?/;:\|

Just use straight old numbers and letters and you pin will show (should show) immediately ...

:cheers:

rotor

[Sonnyj]

Howdy Rotor HEHE, weeeeell ya might know, I'm the one having trouble. I have all the info in except the URL thingo, and it won't load the map. All I get is a page with the writing, and the place for the map, but no map, so wot have I done wrong????????? Cheers Sonny

[rotor]

Both you and bones had a ' in one of the boxes - I edited them taking them out but I had to place your pin over your place myself before it would show up Sonny - lucky I remembered where you live eh ;) It should be working Ok now though - delete your cache and do a reload and it should show up mate. :cool:

:cheers:
rotor

[Drifter]

Sonny, double the square bear before you type in future huh?

[Sonnyj]

Howdy Rotor By cache I hope you were talking about cookies, because thats what I deleted. HMM just tried to add a smile, and it locked up. I refreshed, and can now type, but still no smilies. Drifter I wish I could blame it on square bear. Seems our Gov. (USA) has decided that I caint have it sent over anymore. Well lets see if this comes out like I typed it. Cheers Sonny

[Sonnyj]

AARRRG still no worky. Sonny

[rotor]

No not cookies Sonny, your cache ...

in firefox tools/private date/cache
in Internet Explorer tools/internet options/Browsing History (Delete)/Temporary Internet Files


Not sure whether that will do the trick Sonny but give it a try mate :confused:


rotor

[Sonnyj]
