Hey guys and gals. I found a new way for us to 'see' where we are, on a map that is. Check out this link:
http://www.risingconcepts.com/frapper/xlforum
and add yourself.
We'll be able to see who is close to who, or not as the case may be...
Oh, the link works best with IE. Unfortunately, Firefox doesn't seem to read/render the map graphics correctly.

For you Virginia regional forum members, I've also posted this info there.

:tour

Very cool! Thanks for posting this. :clap

way cool,iam in there

This is truly cool!

Oh, and I used Firefox 1.07 and had no problem viewing or adding myself to the map!


edit: Folks I think this would be awesome as a sticky in the "organize a ride out, find a riding buddy" section, so Carl, I'm going to go ahead and put it there.

This is cool. I have IE at work but will try it again on firefox when I get home.

good find! ...just added myself

added mine

I'm in.:banana

I'm in! Let's ride!

Cool site :clap .

Hey Paulieb, I see you live in Bever Dam. Ever see a flabby long hair riding this:

http://xlforum.net/photopost/data/2/16IMAG0005_JPG_1.jpg

If you see him, his name is Flatty and he's AWOL from the XLF. Tell him to get his sh!t together and let us know how he's doing. Thanks Dude.

Hey !!!!!!!
I'm somebody NOW !!!!:smoke

This Map deserves a Catagory of it's own with a sticky near the top.
Very COOL.

Doesn't work w/ the newest firefox, so opened up IE and now I am on the map. Thanks

Doesn't work w/ the newest firefox

I am using the latest validated Firefox which is v 1.0.7, and I put myself on the map no problems.


Jimbo, I believe this section (Find a riding buddy...) is the proper category for this sticky. PM Bert if you think there may be a more appropriate section. Thx

Can't get it to work on my office computer (IE 6), have to try again at home.

Tried again for the third time and now it loads....my bad. After the first two attempts I just switched over to IE and it loaded right up. It does seem to work w/ either one, thanks for the clarification.

Right on, I wish there was one of these actually ON the XLF... or a link.. or a Sticky... or something, but thats cool. :D

Paulie I did make it a sticky in the "find a riding buddy" section. http://xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=25

Its good that it has the list too because eventually some of the smaller states may become overwhelmed with "pins" and you won't be able to tell one from another....like Maryland/New Jersey, etc.

It is nice to visualize where everyone is from. Does this have a European component as well?

Way cool and I had no problem with firefox

Cool. I'll do better than make it a Sticky. I will give it it's own link on the main page!!

Way!!!!!!!!!!!! Coooollllllllllll!!! :banawala

Scored you some rep points!!! :clap

Oh yea, I am on there now too!

I am on the map now too but you have to scroll way to the East!

Scored you some rep points!!! :clap


Yup, I gave him some rep also!

This is cool.....

Hey Bert if you click on your name in the list, the map automatically scrolls to the proper location. Kewlest!

Oh. I did not notice that. Too bad it does not put the names in alphabetic order.

Maybe Carl can alphabetize the list. I do see a link that says Customize your Group but is has a passworded login.

Care to give it a shot Carl?

One thing though. It looks impossible to edit, let alone remove, your information.

The person who has the login password can edit users, and can edit it to show the world instead of just the U.S.
I just created a test map to see how it works. I don't see a way to alphabetize the user list, but I only messed around for about a minute.

I created a test map too. Couldn't edit myself.
Anyone can zoom all the way out, and see the whole world. Where are the Aussies?
Also, you can click and drag to anywhere in the world.

A cool feature is zoomin' in and checking out the detailed maps.

I created a test map too. Couldn't edit myself.


What did you try to edit exactly? Login with the password and choose edit members. Members and or their comments can be removed as needed by anyone with the password.

St Louis area? anyone anyone?

That's cool.:clap

I'm in now

that is neat!

Thats friggin awesome.. Im in there now but wheres all the texans at??? :D Seems like the East coast is winning on the map...

I put my face in the place!!

My hometown, Shopping Mall Hell, PA, is now on the map!

I have Firefox and it worked great. Now if we can only get the others in Oregon to add their names. So far I think it is just myself and Planb.

I am in there.....

im on the map

I'm on the map..

Great idea,I'm there.

Awesome I added me and my ugly mug!!! ;)

Folks for anyone who missed his post, Bert has also added a direct link to the Map in the Main Menu (XL Forum Member Map). Enjoy!

After you sign on to the map, zoom in on your marker and see how close you are to your actual address. if you zoom in enough it will show street names, local landmarks and stuff like that. this is probably the easiest online road map i have seen of the U.S.


Mine ended up being about 1-2 miles off.

It kept telling me that my zipcode was invalid. Well I know it's not invalid because everybody in the freaking village hangs out at the post office to gossip. So I put my work zipcode in and it liked that.

Gazza

Man that map loaded up quick, just this morning there was maybe 20 of us on it!

Scott

Mines a couple of miles off as well Kevin.....it shows me living in the center of the lake which is our local reservoir! Then again, we are only giving it a zip code not a street address so probably none of them will show peoples actual street.

first canadian on there. i rule! although, it's kinda lonely. :(

Give Ironmick a shout. He'll keep ya warm:D

That is very cool.....:clap :clap :clap

I must have a setting that doesn't allow the map graphics. :hmmm
I'll have to check a few settings. :geek

Edit: I had a javascript setting that wasn't letting the map load. I changed it and now can get this in Firefox.

As for the thread move, that's why I couldn't find where I left it. I thought I had forgotten my glasses again... :dunno :laugh :banana

Maybe Carl can alphabetize the list. I do see a link that says Customize your Group but is has a passworded login.

Care to give it a shot Carl?

I looked and there isn't a alphabetize option available yet. :(
-Basic Options:
--Group Info:
---Description
(I added " Harley-Davidson Sportster enthusiasts from around the world.")
---Sharing
(I checked 'Add XLForum to Frapper's Public Directory')

--Startinig Location:
---Zip Code (nothing put here)
---Zoom Level (changed to '13(World)' )

--Group Pic: (I should get a good 'representative' Sportster pic for here. 1.5Mb max. Maybe the XLForum logo?)

-Edit Members
(I can remove members, but not change order.)

-Edit Comments
(Same with members comments, just remove only.)

It is still only a 'beta' product. I'll try to see if the webmaster/author can add more options. :)

If you add yourself a second/third/more time, then it adds the new 'shout out' to the original.:banana :banana

I hope it doesn't increment the member count for multiple adds by the same member. :rolleyes:

That is great idea, and I see it being big in the future on chat rooms. I just wonder how long til they want a monthly fee?

arrrrr...
pirates we be!!

Wonder how long it will be befoe we have the largest map!!

I also wonder if our own Frapper will sue the Frapper website for using his XL Forum username.

This is WAY :censor Cool!!!! We need to get everyone on here!!!

I notice there are way more people east of the rockies! Cmon you westerners, peg yourself on there!!!!

I'm there !! it's just you have to zoom way in or all you see is RC.
she's hogging san diego :(

Im "Gellin"... You "Gellin"?

Adios

Can you find me??? :D :D :D

I'm there !! it's just you have to zoom way in or all you see is RC.

ya ya ya !!!! :laugh

Thanks, that map is the coolest thing I`ve seen in a while. I have been getting directions everywhere. I wish I could get it on my Sporty.

This is about cool. Safari put me on, no problem. Need to get every forum member posted.:clap

I'm in there cool.:laugh

OK... I'm added

I'm There...I also looked for people near where I grew up and places I've lived before, cool. But it put my pin on my post office, a couple miles from me really, but that's okay...I guess if you get that close, and need a place to crash, I can put you up a night or two...I can put you to work, too, if you're handy with tools... :xlrocks

now that is cool, I looked for my house. Man I need to mow my yard.

Added me on there. I'm one of the four in Washington. This thing is pretty cool, now I finally know where "Yacolt" is.

That's me on... you guys are a long way away..only Bert, Hero and meself here :banana

Great map.....I'm in :)

Coooooool!!!!! I'm in there

Well, I've updated the 'Group Picture' with the Forum logo.
Bert, hope that's ok

I've also re-centered the world view on Libreville, Gabon. It's on the West Coast of Africa, about on the Equator. It gives a good view of everybodies location 'ballon'. :banana :brocoli :banana

Any other suggestions? Keeping in mind that I still can't alphabatize member names! :banadanc

BTW, as of this time, we have 175 members on the map. (Assuming that duplicate adds aren't 'bumping' the count!)

He He I am a retard, I typed BSB instead of GSB. What a dumbass it has 3 friggin letters in it and i spelled it wrong. any how I am on there.

That's me on... you guys are a long way away..only Bert, Hero and meself here :banana

....yea, I took a look and NOW wish I hadn't...Bill..you really DON"T wear anything under that thing...u friggin DOG u. :roflblack

Just put myself on the Map!!!:D

This map is neat as hell!!!!:clap :clap :clap :clap :clap

How about that! And it's Chief Harley Engineer, Flat Track. :smoke

Man only 2 of us in Japan so far yet when I ride I see many a Harley on the road...

Definetely a nice tool, also shows how sparsely populated the pacific northwest is. (and that's why traffic is such a pain in the arse.)

It keeps telling me invalid zip code WTF!

well your in NJ, whats that tell ya.:roflblack :p

This place is perhaps a alternate demension? Feels that way sometimes!

Thanks, there are more riders in Houston than I thought!!!

im in thats a cool site. now we all can see where everyone is and can hook up.

I have entered the domain!

Red Dog is in the house!!!

Thanks for the map Carl.

Now North Dakota is represented...sheesh...maybe I will run for the Senate next.

very nice, great find

I seem to be the only person in Korea that is on the map.

I'm in also. So if anyone is up this way drop by.
Bob

I seem to be the only person in Korea that is on the map.

Scout99 is up in Seoul... but so far it only y'all two

When you leave Korea, where are you going? Or, do you know yet?

Oh btw, when you leave and get to where ever, let my know and I'll remove you from the XL Forum frappr!, seeing as I'm the admin. Then you can add yourself for your new location.

Well, Sport-Ed asked for some assistance. He wanted to have an old frappr ballon removed so that his new one wouldn't conflict. DONE.

You, boys and gals, can also have your frappr ballon edited. Sport-Ed opened a frappr account (Not hard, I did it myself just now. Trying to see if I can update my profile on our map with that info without having to add a new one/delete old one???) and wanted his old info deleted.

I have found (and enabled) different ballon colors, I changed mine to one closer to Lily's color. (As close as they offer at the moment!!!)

I can change anyone's ballon and 'Shout Out' (really editable now). If you open a MyFrappr Account, I will only be able to edit the 'Shout Out'. But, you will have the 'power' to edit your own info, at least I think that is the way it works... :D

PM me from here or from Frappr if you want changes. :)

<<<<<<< Check it out!

All I get is a blank white box where the map is supposed to be. Also, I use firefox. Anyone else having probs with the map in firefox?

Yeah, the Frapper map doesn't work with Firefox I don't think.

Thanks oldgrouch! I can see the map but I can't get it to put me on.
