Hi, all. I thought I'd post some pictures of the map add-on that I did for my forum. We are a group of teardrop owners (ultra-miniature RVs) and for a few years I maintained a google map with a pin for each user. It's tough to keep something like this current, but it was a big hit with my users. So, I did the following mod that integrates a profile driven map into my forum. Registered users can view the map. Pins are colored according to RV type. All data is live (directly from user profiles) and clicking on a user name takes you to their profile page. Each user that chooses to have their location shown on the map also has a mini-map in their profile. Profile edit screen allows users to enable/disable their pin, and edit the custom fields that contribute data to their pin. (Also, users are able to select a special "On the Road" pin to let everyone know when they are out touring the country.) I understand that this isn't the place for discussing this kind of thing in detail, so if anybody is interested in knowing more, send me a PM. P.S. This would not have been possible without a few very helpful pointers from Gizmo. Thanks!

Absolutely friggin' COOL. Much better than the past Google solutions which required constant updates of the data.

Looks like it came quite a ways since we last talked, looks pretty great!
If you're interested in posting it somewhere UBBDev has, in the past, been a great resource for modifications and addons.

Very very nice indeed... I really just looked at your idea and thought of about 3 ways I would/could use something like that.

Seems ok for me Did you try to read an actual post/reply in a thread? Or, did you just go to the site via a link and it loaded? I can browse forums and even threads, but clicking on any post/reply results in the infamous generic database error: We encountered a problem. The reason reported was Database error only visible to forum administrators
Please click back to return to the previous page. This occurred for every post link I tried... and I tried about a dozen in various forums. Hopefully, the new "owner" of ubbdev won't follow the isolated silence of the owner of UBBThreads.

Did you try to read an actual post/reply in a thread? Yeah, my bad mate; It was late here and I didn't drill down deep enough. Hopefully, the new "owner" of ubbdev won't follow the isolated silence of the owner of UBBThreads. Well, that would be Giz, wouldn't it? Hmmm, I don't think so then
