How to put yourself on the usermap

#1

Post by panhead »

The Usermap adds a map with the location of the forum members. It is accessible through a link in the board's header. You only have to add your postal code (without spaces) + country.

E.g.:

USA: 19938
Canada: V0E1B1
UK: SN105TU
Australia: 2650



The usermap:

Add your location on the map:

* click on your name in the `Profile` tab

If the combination is valid your location will appear on the map with your forum name. If you click on the location the user's profile is shown in a separate window.

If you are listed on the map you can find your postal code prefixed by your country's two letter country code and a hyphen and followed by a dropdown field to select a range in kilometers which determines the radius around that location in which Usermap will look for other users after the `Submit` button is hit.
