I like a look around, but notice numbers sem to have stalled. Sad

It might be nice to invite new members to add their marker in their welcome PM or welcome e-mail they get when they join

Indeed! I didn't know about this feature until raised this time around. Tell the Newbies when they join! Thumbs Up!

May 2008 at 15:00 This keeps coming up and generating new threads, so I'm giving it a 'bump'. I know the guidleines say I shouldn't, but it seems to make more sense than to keep seeing new threads come up.

Thumbs Up!

Sticky is an option, but is a PITA for admins. TB was supposedly going to work with me on gettign the map embedded thereby allowing members to get straight in with no password required (single sign on stylee), but that seems to have died a death.

I have made another suggestion which I think could work. I'll make it a poll and see what thoughts come back...

Why not add a link for the OOF Map in the welcome letter that is sent via email when a new member confirms thier email.

Also in the email it could be pointed out to drop in and say Hi in the wecome section, and that by filling in thier car details it will be easier to get help..

A global reminder could be sent out regards the map and car details any way.

Sorry if it creates any work for the admins, but in the long run I would hope it would actually save work and save reminders from current members eplaining it over and over to new members.

Ask yourself : " WHY do I believe what I believe?"

Is it worth putting the good Geometry places on the OOF map.

I'd say yes to that!!

Theres a link on here to a place in the West Mids

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1161091674

I have added a new type of marker in purple to denote "Alignment Centres" and then added the above 5 sites to the map. I have changed W.I.M. to a purple marker too.

Did you know? If you click on the marker type on the legend at the bottom left of the map it removes that type of marker from the map termporarily. This is handy if you want to remove all the members' markers to see the remaining "meeting points" and "Alignment Centres".

BTW: Someone has been clicking the Map Password button fairly frequently recently and I keep getting e-mails. Please PM me, or an admin, if you need the password.

Thanks
