There’s a new handy feature in the forums now that allows you to place a pin in the map as to where you are in the world. Only people that have chosen to place their pin are shown on the map and you can always clear your details if you wish. The idea is that the map doesn’t show an exact GPS co-ordinate or anything so accurate (that’d have certain problems) rather it’s just an idea of where you are on the globe. Comments can be added to this forum thread.
Not only does it give a casual reader an idea of where people are in the world, but it also allows someone to click on your forum profile and find out roughly where you are. The map is only available to registered members so you’ll have to register or login to see it. The code for the map works now, but there’s a few more additions that will be added later on to tidy things up a bit more. If you do choose to add your location to the map, please make it roughly correct – users found swimming in the middle of the Atlantic or Pacific will be politely asked to adjust their account
