Tam & Di Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 I just had cause to look at a member's details and went to it via "Member Map". While I was there I decided to see what was shown on my own, but ...... my user name (nor my 'proper' name) is not on the list. I'm clearly a member as I can write this - can other people see their own name, or can you only see everyone else? ? Tam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a long time ago, but I think you have to 'register' with your location to be shown. 3 minutes ago, Tam & Di said: can you only see everyone else? Yes - but not "Tam & Di" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilgePump Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Can't see mine because never added location to the map. More a bit of fun and guess people don't update. Two random checks showed one user in Greenland and another's boat I know to be in the north at the moment showing as down near London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam & Di Posted November 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Thanks. Must be because I had alternative locations, so I've changed that to see what happens. I did notice that members have boats in Thailand and other unlikely places ? Tam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam You aren't shown on the Members map, presumably because you have not given a location, but you are on the "members" list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam & Di Posted November 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Right - I've entered a French address and I'm now on the map. Unfortunately I'm shown at right the opposite end of the country to where I actally am, but at least I exist. I might change the address though 'cos it's bloody cold right here now. Somewhere with decent wine - Marlborough, New Zealand should be good. Tam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BilgePump Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) Sadly, the map is only for the earth. Wouldn't be able to place some members who, lovely, knowledgeable and sharing of that wisdom they may be, do seem to be on another planet, in a parallel universe at times. Long may they be so, makes life so much richer. eta: of one who I was thinking could well be off earth, it seems they are out in the middle of the Pacific. Now who is going to tempt fate by going for the Mariana Trench? Edited November 22, 2020 by BilgePump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jen-in-Wellies Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) I'm in Puddle California! ?

system 4-50 Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 I seem to be off Madagascar - until I zoom out when I suddenly become in the Pacific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHutch Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Yes, as said, the member map location is separate from the location field in the user profile and both have to be filled in by the user. You can as as much, or as little detail from a country, town, postcode. Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
