Great idea! I'm on there now, all alone in the northeast US.

*Shock* only three Britons! Come now, people! For King and country!
At least now we can see where the Down's members are concentrated. It seems mainly to be across the pond.

Wow, Lhunardawen, they really have your country detailed don't they?

There's some sort of bug on the site! Sometimes small red pins appear totally out of place. I found myself and Hookbill freezing on the shores of Greenland a minute ago. And it doesn't end with a bad cold! We must have a severe case of split personalities too! We were both represented both in Greenland and our native country! Whoa, I've got more issues than I knew...

The pins that appear usually near the top of the map (which sometimes is Greenland) is, I think, the last person you looked at.

Nice idea, Hookbill.

There used to be a similar map somewhere on the Downs (there may even be a link back in the mists of this thread), but it only had a limited capacity. So, after a while, every time that someone added themselves, another disappeared. I hope it's not the same with this map.

A question before I add myself, as I plan on moving house soon. Can people edit their details or location once they have added themselves?

Also, I notice that zip codes can be entered for US addresses. I would counsel care in using this facility as I suspect that it may pinpoint locations with rather too much accuracy, given that the US and UK maps zoom down to street name level.

... which, incidentally, reveals that Hookbill lives in the middle of a river.
