Topic: Member Map!

Thanks for the fix Rivers. I can once again experience a pin clicking trance that lasts for hours.

Thanks Rivers and Slack!

With great power comes great responsibility.

In the interest of full disclosure, I should point out that I'm also the only New Mexico Weenie.

We've got pin clustering going on the member map. High density clusterfurcations of weenies now get displayed with a heat-coded zone counter; as you zoom in they resolve to individual pins, zoom back out and and the clusters reappear. This is not only a triumph of style over substance, it was actually getting kinda crowded on there.

But... we would like for more members to stick their pins so if you feel so inclined please go to the member map page and click on the link, or you can click here to add or edit your pin location on the map. You have to be logged-in to place your pin obviously.

Thanks to Laura for prompting us to get it all sorted out.

You're welcome Rivers.  I do like the cluster pins - they make it look neater.  I'm happy to see Colm and Gumbo are not far from me at all but I wonder if Gumbo really does live in the middle of a lake?.....fascinating!

[Rivers]

Gumbo could be in a boat or submarine. Generally speaking I wouldn't advocate putting your pin right on your house either, just the general area is fine. Mine's not on my house, just in the neighborhood. We have a few pins in places like Antarctica, Kamchatka and Baffin Island Svalbard, those are not particularly useful but a source of minor hilarity I guess.

I'd like to point out that putting your pin on the map is not only neighborly but useful as well.  There's a member index on the left hand side of the screen.  After a night at the local pub, just bring the map up on your phone, click on your name, and the member map can help you find your way home.   

[Rivers]

Brilliant.

[Slack]

...as long as you don't end up in a lake. 

[Gumbo]

... and there was me thinking it just rained a lot here! 

[frailer24]

Last time I looked, I was the only Weenie in my area. Sad, huh?

[Rivers]

As the old saying goes, "better to be a big fish in a small pond, than a medium size rhinoceros in Safeways". Right?

[frailer24]

Very very true!

[NotRevGDavis]

Still clicking

[eric]

Is the member map still working? Doesn't seem to work for me.
