What is the significance of the different colour balloons

mine's black because my car is black.

I thought it might be an idea..... many are going to be a bit buggered with star silver though.... Cheesy

can I reiterate to people that they can precisely place their marker using the graphical interface rather than simple post codes.... the poor guy's doing all the work repositioning people , when they could just get it right themselves....

Thanks for reminding people that they can relocate their markers themselves Thumbs Up!

I have done this:

Having us all the same colour helps to find the member you're looking for in the list more easily as it is alphabetical.

If you come up with any decent suggestions without breaking down the list too much, such as "Trade Card Holders", then let me know and I'll change it.

I'm trying to drastically reduce number of stickies, esp in this section.

Thanks for the suggestion Marie Thumbs Up!

TB, I've been digging and there doesn't need to be a "sticky thread".

I wonder if I should pick this up as PM / e-mail?

I can arange with you guys to "publish" the map on here, it is minimal work and is supported by zeemaps. I thought that perhaps the best place for it would be off the members' page as a locator link.

It would not take the user off OOF, just publish the map and functionality within an OOF page.

I'd need to discuss with whoever maintains the site (is that Hotel21?) to check feasibility.

As stated from the outset, if this catches on, I'm more than happy to hand over the admin/moderator password.

Is this something you might consider pursuing?

Personally, I think its a good idea and one that has been mooted previously.

Much as I would like to say that i am the chap that maintains the site, unfortunately as a computer or internet wizard, I would make an ideal domino player.....

If you want to relinquish the maintenance of the concept, I would take it on rather than see it dying a death but, be warned, I am not the best when it comes to things computer.... Cheesy

I'm more than happy to completely relinquish, share or continue to help maintain that section if I can help at all.

What I think might be really valuable is to set this into a page on the OOF (perhaps off the "members" page). The zeemaps site has a facility which allows you to publish the map inside your own website which would mean that the members never need leave the OOF to locate a fellow member.

It would mean the creation of a new page which I can provide the text to insert that would allow the map, and functionality, to be published inside the OOF.

I'm pretty convinced this is a very simple task; given what you claim about not beign the best with computers, are you the best person to speak with about the development / enhancement of OOF pages?

This is a really simple, but very valuable "quick-win" as they say. Thumbs Up!
