Where are you???

Taffygit · Sep 19, 2005

Just a thought....

....How about an area on the site where members can post what county they live in (volentary), so we can all then see 'at a glance' the members nearest to us?.

i.e. could have 'Berkshire FF', 'Surrey FF', 'Lancashire FF', 'Yorkshire FF' etc, etc.

This might help with meets and events and get everone together more often (including 'newbies'), as people might be more inclined to make a short trip to meet 'others'.

....it's not like we're gonna go and fight each other!!!

i dont have a county

but it could work :chin:

a section on the main page and the list of counties in sub sections

the nly problem may be that it gets setup and no-one uses it

Didn't we suggest a map of some kind years ago, for convoy planning and such like?!

i think it would be worth considering, mabe have a PITTV and have lists of counties and people vote so then we can see who is from where, and stickie it.

I would be a bit shafted though cos i could come under lancashire/manchester and now north wales and shropshire

Think it would be a good idea, only just found out there are quite a few members in my area due to another post.

It would help develope the regions etc.

most of the forum would be ignoring eachother

edit: its 8'Oclock and your'e not here like you said you would be :nono:

chrisunoman · Sep 19, 2005

How about it go on the first part of postcodes?

Im sure theres something like that available. So that it could plot a map or something.

ha ha if you hadnt posted that you wouldnt got noticed that you late

project-cinqy · Sep 19, 2005

Think it would be good coz i see several modded fiats round lincolnshire, and haven't got a clue if there on here. would be gud to see who lives near me at a glance, We could then contact people about convoys to shows/cruises/pubs and could see exactly who we could meet along the way, without spending days working it out. I mean the forum meet is in lincolnshire, and i cant believe Em and me are the only members here!!!

I say yes, still

serin · Sep 19, 2005

it depends on how specific, dont mind county, or nearest large town, but actual place, maybe not :chin:

stilosporting · Sep 20, 2005

i think it sounds like a good idea. maybe use nearest city or county? a map would be great, shame we cant use something like that new google earth! or could we???

It wasn't knocked on the head, it was shelved until the new version of vbulletin came out, which is still hasn't. This is also why nothing else has been added recently, the old mods won;t work with the new version.

The way I will probably do it is with postcodes (first half) - I can then plot a live map, though not sure what scale to do it to.... maybe do a "enter your postcode" and it finds everyone within X miles of you....

stilosporting · Sep 20, 2005

sounds good ben. when is the new version due out?

sammiboo · Sep 21, 2005

could we make more than one entry?

I can put my rochdale postcode and oswestry postcode in cos can make a meet in either region.
