Title: Frappr Group - Location map of members
Post by: JamesL on February 08, 2006, 09:54:28
Seeing as we seem to have many people ask/state where they live in various threads, I have set up a Frappr Map - a visual of where we all are.

Might be a bit of fun :oops:

Naj,

Hugo was born last Tuesday (31st)

He and the wife are fine. He has all his faculties (well, as many as can be expected in a newborn) so we are very lucky!

Cool! 8)   I added a photo of me, as I don't have a good one of the car yet.   I do enjoy people photos too...it would be interesting to see what you all look like [:0].

Nice to see a photo of Montauk. I spend a lot of time there (underneath a Pagoda) each summer.

I love New York!  I grew up in Sands Point and still visit mom there frequently.  My brother has a cottage in Montauk so that was taken last July (pre Pagoda days!).

Ben

I have to say, I think it is kinda cool. I came across it yesterday and this place was the first thing that sprung to mind. Clearly relatively new, as it's a beta version we appear to be working with. But it's great to see names/cars/faces and locations all in the one place. Lord alone knows what spam will result... :(

You're right, seeing as we have gone from nothing to 33 folk signed up in the space of about 18 hours, it would be nice if the group could be formally linked this to this site in some way - perhaps as new members sign up/renew their memberships.

I have asked a few of the UK MBOC members to sign up, you may want to do the same (and you Naj!)

Random thought: When you get down to the street level, you can actually show potential car theives where your garage is. :mrgreen:   I used a zip code in my town where I don't keep the car.

Tried and failed. Can you provide an idiot's guide to how to add details to the map? Do I have to log in once to the forum and then again to the map thingy? Given that I need tech helpdesk assistance to send a text message, I may be a lost cause.

Frappr worked fine in the begining but now it doesn't.  For some reason it keeps reloading and seems to have a mind of its own.  Anyone else having any problems?

No issues here but it may be due to the scroll of the pictures - that's a new "feature"...

Send me an email with your details/issue/any messages etc and I'll forward to frappr

On our Frapper home page, why does it say "Showing 50 of 70 members"?  Is it possible for people to join yet not be put on the map?  I thought that was the whole point??

Nice one Ed. Personally, I am waiting for the owner from Chino, California to join... Could use a Frappr-chino... [:0]

Rodd, I think if you scroll to bottom of the 50 members, it will allow you to see the next 20.

My Frappr seems to function fine -- I just find the scrolling a pain.

Oh, OK.  My screen wasn't sized right to see that it was referring to a list of members below.  I couldn't see past the first name.

Hi.

I wanted to bring this thread up to the top again.  This is a great tool and I recommend that people register on the Frapper map system.  We only have about 115 people on it out of 1,574 registered Forum members.

Thanks,

For newer members who haven't seen this, it's a very neat thing that Tosh set up here.   Take a couple of minutes to add yourself to the map.

Personally, I think it's cool to see that a car unites so many people from all over the world!
