ADDED: Usermap - Location of all visitors to the forum

[Dan]

Checkout the usermap in the main menu. It shows you a rough map of where visitors to the forum are based.

What it actually shows you is their connection to the internet, so it think I'm in Manchester somewhere. Sometimes it thinks I'm in Liverpool. But it gets the country right at least haha.

A pointless feature but a nifty pointless one. Enjoy.

LOL.. doesn't have me on there.. well sort of 100 miles away.

 

[Gazzer]

Got me in a local Timber yard ?????? Shame it doesnt show the names

 

[Dan]

We should be able to work out Admins and Mods. You can use the drop-down to select just us. Then the chances are you're the dot nearest to you. Dave's a southerner nearly by the looks of it lol

 

[Dan]

Scrap that. The drop down is for the continents not usergroups. Oops. My bad.

 

[DHTiling]

I just spent a while trying to find it..:lol:

 

[Dan]

If you visit this one: User Map: VW Amarok Forum - With it having a lot less users online, you might be able to work out when comparing them both which dot you actually are.

I'm connecting in Swindon!!! I thought I might have been the birmingham one, Neale must be that one?

 

[widler]

aint got a clue how to work it,im gonna give up

 

[Mike]

i'm not on there, nearest one is colwyn bay 45 miles away

 

[Stewart]

Doesn't have me or anyone close to me!

 

[Rich]

I cant even find it!

 

[Ian]

Closest to me is 26 miles away, Dan your map thing is broken, get a new one!

 

[Ian]

At the top Rich, next to 'Today's posts'

 

[Stewart]

This is me on Google maps, though My house is now where the barn is

........

 

[Rich]

Im in Birmingham... There is some1 in New Milton (where I am really) but they are a guest.

I do like that it shows you where all the spiders are tho, I will never be made jump in the bathroom again :smilewinkgrin:

 

[Colour Republic]

there is a drop down box on the right with the setting 'show youself'

 

[Dan]

So there is haha.

Yup it thinks I'm in Swindon. Christ knows why i connect to the net down there.

 

[Colour Republic]

Now that is bizarre! It's showing my location as about half a mile away. On zooming in on the pin point location... it's my mates house!!!! Wonder if he's intercepting my connection and downloading all that **** I keep getting blamed for :ninja:

 

[user123]

Eh? Not getting this at all... when I click on any of the pins (There is none in Scarborough, anyhow) I just get a message "Open in Google Earth', have to choose what to open with it and it's gobbledegook again.. is that my pc missing something again?

 

[jay]

Yeh, but you're probably under the table a lot... :lol:

[Dan]

It's actually the location of your connection to the internet. Yesterday it thought I was 200 miles away in Swindon. Though today it's actually got my location about right. A few miles away.

If you zoom out though, it gives you a pretty accurate feeling of where the members (and unregistered readers) are from.

If you have Google Earth you can click a pin and it should open Google earth, but it just shows you the same really. It'll zoom in on the pin etc.
