Map of Pet Forum Members

[Mary]

The last map we did was to track delivery of the newsletter. This map is for everybody - all members of the forum not just newsletter subscribers.

It's easy - just go to http://www.frappr.com/petforummembers and plant your flag.

Let's see how many we can ring up at this new year! :)

[TonyW]

My flag is planted - right in my back yard.......

Tony

[cathy]

I game.......

[Grant]

It won't take my town :confused:

[NMarti]

I'm there too! Thanks for the link Mary - it was a little hard to find in the previous post.

[Mary]

Hi Grant
Tony was able to get his Ontario town to take - maybe Tony can give us a step by step.:)

I will try to keep this link from getting buried -
It's easy - just go to http://www.frappr.com/petforummembers and plant your flag.

[TonyW]

If you're not in the US then you have to click "not in the US" - then try your nearest town. If it doesn't find it try somewhere further away. It does know about Dundas, Ontario. If you don't like where it put the flag you can move it - so I did indeed stick it in my backyard although you might have a little trouble getting there since Google Maps doesn't know where the street I live on really is ;) . But if you're passing by just drop in :). Wasn't quite sure which colour to pick after that baby contest :eek:

Tony

[Ellen]

What fun! I love maps.
Thanks for doing this Mary!

[Chuck S.]

Why does it want my e-mail address?? I have enough trouble filtering spam...

:(

[Dorrie H.]

I tried adding myself, and now it says "Remove Me" where everyone else has a "House, a Envelope and a person symbol" .....What did I do wrong?

[Carbone]

I've added my flag !

Ray

[vintage]

I added my flag

[virgo1]

I planted one also. Thanks Mary for doing this! :)
Eva ;)

[Robyn]

Why does it want my e-mail address?? I have enough trouble filtering spam...

:(

I'm with you Chuck.....I don't really want to put my email address down for that very reason.

[Ellen]

I hate getting spam too so I use a Gmail or yahoo freebie address. They are also handy for sending yourself those important photos or other files that you haven't backed up yet. They both offer gigs of space and when they fill up with junk it's not on your machine.

[dpw9272]

i am planted and ready to grow!

[Wendy]

I'm in there too !!


Wendy

[Punkinsmom]

Mine is in the ground! This is fun!:)

[mayva]

I added mine.....but....Where is Pennsylvania on the map? Did we disappear?......:D

Anna

[Mary]

To keep the linking information available easily

It's easy - just go to http://www.frappr.com/petforummembers and plant your flag.


Just a couple of notes:
You can move the map with your mouse or the controls on the left side of the screen. To move map with your mouse just left click and hold and drag.

Your email address will not appear anywhere - their privacy policy looked very sound to me and unless you want to be notified when new flags are planted I would think that you can use any email.

The Remove me appears beside only your name so that if you choose to drop out you are the only one who can do that.

As of this morning the UK had a lot more flags than Canada ;)

[TonyW]

As of this morning the UK had a lot more flags than Canada ;)

That's because we all slept in because we were up late watching our election results come in :D

Tony

[wombat2]

I'm in. This is fun:cool:

[jvolpe]

OK, i'm on the list too. I don't want to be left out. :)
Janis

[Pauline]

Just added mine.

[Carbone]

I think you can safely "forge" an e-mail address, if you're scared about revealing your own.

aaabbbccc@mynetwork.qc.ca

sort of...

:)

Ray

[Carbone]

Yes, the elections... I was up until 11h30 PM.. I never go to bed after 10h30... I was a mess this morning :)

Ray

[Grant]

I was a mess this morning :)

Ray[/QUOTE]

Lucky you ... I am a mess every morning!

I have added my flag to the group and this silly program will not accept Dundas Ontario so I chose Ancaster then moved my flag right to my back yard (take note stalkers). My wife says the flag doesn't go well with the Japanese maple but I suspect she will learn to live with it.

[Carbone]

Grant.. LOL !!!

Ray

[Frode]

I'm in. A bit far away, but I'm in

[Dorrie H.]

Mary,

I understand that the "Remove Me" will do just that, but why doesn't anyone else have that. Everyone else has the other symbols. I don't want mine to say "Remove Me", otherwise I will have to do just that.

Dorrie

[Carbone]

The World is such a small place after all.. :)

Ray

[Wendy]

Dorrie ...

Each one of us see "Remove me" but only next to our own names :) ... so you can remove yourself but you can't remove anyone else :)


Wendy

[Wendy]

Frode ...

You may be far away ... but you are nearer to me :)

Its lonely over here ... as no one else from the UK has added their flags yet!

Wendy

[Dorrie H.]

Thanks Wendy for the explaination..I have removed myself as it kept showing me as Blue on my Map. Red on the general Map, but I don't want to be listed as a Male. Now I'd like to know how to Unsubscribe altogether.

Dorrie

[G. OReilly]

:D I planted my FLAG....Of course Pauline has planted hers,right in front of mine.:eek:
George

[kewTpie]

I'm on....

"Where you are, there you are" or in this case--"Where I am, there I am".......
This is a cool thing. Great idea.

take care,

[Pauline]

Stop whining George!! When Gary comes along we'll both be lost!! Oh, I forgot it's your birthday, you get one day of whining! (make sure you stay in Orillia though, I hear enough from my kids!) Here comes the snow!!!

[Pauline]

Stop whining George, I hear enough of that at home. Oh, I forgot, it's your birthday, you can whine for the day. Just make sure you stay in Orillia!! It's snowing like crazy right now! (both here and in Mississauga where my husband works)

Once Gary adds his name we'll both disappear!

[G. OReilly]

:) Pauline..Gary lives south of us..he is far enough away...just move over a bit ...he he he .Then will all have room to place our flags in Ontario;)

The highways are clear so your husband should be ok to get home

George:)

[Pauline]

Ha George, last time he just flopped right on top of my flag!! I think he did it on purpose!:twisted:

[GaryK]

Oh boy ..having a slow catching up night.

I'm in.

Thanks Mary.. I actually bookmarked it this time:rolleyes:

[Diana]

This was a great idea, Mary! How do we get our avatar beside our name in the listing? I really am a female, and I selected female when I signed up, but it shows me as a male?!

Diana

[Diana]

Hey, I figured it out myself...even changed my sex!!...or should I say gender.

Diana

[karen donnybrook]

Took a bit of doing but I am in. You will notice it says Bunbury, Western Australia; that was the closest place I could find :D

[Ward Grant]

I'm all over it like white on rice.

[Carbone]

I just realized how close I was from Carol.. we could have lunch one of these days, and be home early enough for the 9 o'clock movie :)

Ray

[lindajay]

Hmmm :confused: Some flags are red (gals); some are blue (guys); but what about the orange ones? Or is it just my monitor?

--Linda

[NMarti]

Linda - mine are all red or blue - don't see any orange.:confused:

[Wendy]

Mine are all red & blue too ..

... but why am I the only person here in the UK :(


Wendy

[Grant]

Hmmm :confused: Some flags are red (gals); some are blue (guys); but what about the orange ones? Or is it just my monitor?



Linda

I am not sure why that happens but some times, not all the times, I get this same effect. Pixel Magic I suspect ...

[karen donnybrook]

Wendy, when I looked at the map, there were three forum members in the UK. Your flag and Mike H's is near Birmingham and Kevan Q down at Southampton.

What you need to do is zoom in so that you can see all three flags individually.

[CarolLHB]

Remember Ray, I'm on my way to Montreal at the end of April...you promised me milk and cookies!:D

[Wendy]

Hi Karen ...

When I look at the forum member map ...

http://www.frappr.com/petforummembers

I only see my flag

http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/8054/picture12im.th.jpg (http://img90.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture12im.jpg)

I'm sure I posted this earlier today but it seems to have vanished :confused: :confused:

Wendy

[Mary]

You're right Wendy and yet when I looked at the other day there were 3. :confused:

[Grant]

I have noticed the total decrease from time to time. I may be wrong but i suspect they are sending out an email and if it bounces they are deleteing the person's account.

[Carbone]

Carol, that's for sure!!!

Ray

[Grant]

Ray is a chick magnet ... heck he offers them milk and cookies and they make trips to Montreal I offer them money chocolate and flowers and get back "Yah like right ... "

[Carbone]

(splash and mootch, the noise of coffee hitting the monitor)

I need a towel for the coffee on my screen... ;)

Ray

[virgo1]

I didn't have any liquids near. Read this one with a dry monitor. :p:D
Eva ;)

[karen donnybrook]

Wendy, I go to http://www.frappr.com/petnewsletter , I notice it is a slightly different address to the one you used. But I have just checked and I can definitely see 3 flags :eek: I have just checked using your address and there is only 1 flag in the UK and I am not on the map but I can see mine using the other address :( . I have put myself on "your" map Wendy but decided to change the city and now I am there twice and can't move my marker :eek:

Does anyone know how to delete an entry?

[Grant]

Oh my there are two maps ....

[virgo1]

Karen,
The link you posted is the newsletter map. There is a new map to include every one.
Eva ;)

[karen donnybrook]

Thanks Eva. Do you know how to remove an incorrect entry and how to move your marker to the exact spot. Bunbury is my closest city but I can zoom in and find exactly where I live. It would not accept Donnybrook:eek:

[lindajay]

Karen, the map you are going to is the OLD one, where we were marking places that the newsletter had arrived. You can tell by looking at some of the messages. The one Wendy is going to is the current one, I believe. Anyone else who can concur?

--Linda

[lindajay]

Woops, Eva -- your fingers are faster at typing! :)

--Linda

[virgo1]

Linda,
Great minds think alike. :D
Karen,
I haven't figured it out myself.
Eva ;)

[kevq]

Hi,
have added my name to the map.
There are now 2 Brits on the map.

As of this evening there are 50 members and there is plenty of room for more flags! It will be fun to see how far flung our group really is. Come join us :)

[karen donnybrook]

How do I delete the wrong one I put in?

[Mary]

Karen - ssshhhh we just won't tell anyone it is there ;)
