This was mentioned on another thread, and was actually something I thought about doing before but never got around to.

Here is a map that you can pinpoint where you are from - you don't have to put your exact address in - even point to the nearest big city - so you can still be a bit anonymous.....

https://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=253605

If anyone has any problems adding yourself please let me know and I can do it for you.

Instructions:

Find your location on the map (click and drag to go any direction and zoom in and out using plus and minus on left or use the scroll on your mouse)
Click Additions with the down arrow
Chose option Add Marker - Simple (or detailed if you want more than your name)
Enter your username (using your username instead of a nickname etc helps us tag members to threads by using the name tagging system)
Enter your location (either enter city and state or by clicking on your location on the map till a red star shows on that location)
Preview it and submit if correct

That's pretty cool! I added myself...the only purple dot out there...lol Just to be different!
 
I'm not sure how to do this. I'm having a brain fart. Please add mine to Anchorage, Alaska.
 
I added mine, and I have to say - that's really cool to visually see where people are from
 
Ah Dusty! I know there are other Aussies. I'm not sure sure about Alaskans though. My brother refuses to join any forum. I'm alone for a while.
 
Problem is...the US is gonna look like Dusty's pin cushion! Will be difficult to click on any one marker!!
 
Tch, tch, tch Dex, just enlarge the map, I can see you standing outside your house...:rof:
 
...ooooooohhhhhhh!!!!! I guess you would require a much larger pin cushion for those skewers you call knitting needles!!
 
Help!
I'm such a technophobe!
I've ended up in St. Helens, Oregon!!!!
Lisa help!
Move me to the UK please xxxxx
 
I keep hearing people talk about being lonely. More Alaskans need to come out of hiding. I know that my brother and I are not the only ones in the state with CD. Most probably have not found this wonderful forum.
 
Bumping this with the hope some Kiwis may see it and join me on the map. if not im moving my pin to USA.

Bumping won't work, cause it's stickied. It's gonna be up at the top FOREVER. I really wish we could bump it though.. Or force every single user to place their location :p

A lot of people on this forum still don't know about this map. That's why it feels lonely!
 
I've joined too. Jealous of all the lovely places you all live Ha!.
Hey Bruscar, As far as the map is concerned you are just "down the road from me" :)
 
Done and Dusted!! :D

Condition: Crohn's Disease
Age: 19
Age Diagnosed: 15
Previous Meds: Prednisolone, Pentasa, Asacolon.

Meds don't agree with me with Crohn's so I stopped taking them and I feel good
Feel free to have a chat!
 
i added mine looks like i'm the only geordie on here, noticed someone just outside of newcastle though!

Good idea :D
 
Oh, dear! I've mucked the map up. :blush:

I ended up with a red star and it doesn't say that it is me. :oops:

Can someone please tell me how to correct this?
 
I'm trying to find your red star to fix it! If you click on the 'Additions' you should be able to correct it.
 
I managed to get it right this time. :)

Perhaps I was holding my mouth wrongly before :smile:
 
yes its a donation, just make the cheque out to colin ash, c ash will do, and send it to me.
 
Ahahahaha, I just looked at the map again and it looks like I live in the middle of nowhere! Well that could be an apt description but I do live somewhere, just not there. :eek2:

Dusty. :)
 
i really wish there was mpore peeps aware of this awesome feature and utilized it. Such an easy way to discover local or close local peeps
 
I'm just bumping this up as no-one has added to it since mid-January. New members might not know that it is there.
 
I know there's at least another one from Bowling Green that isn't on the map! :lol:
 
LOL, well good to know I guess! So I'm not alone here in KY:)! And btw, send me some of that Australian sunshine:)!!!!
 
What sunshine! We have had the wettest Summer I can remember! :lol: It was sunny today though...:sun::sun::sun:
 
LOL! Well at least send me the warm weather! ( I have friends in Melbourne and 2 in Brisbane so I get picked on all the time for talking about snow!)
 
So, I'm on :) And there are 3 people withing driving distance of me (the wicked thing about the UK ;)). . . . show yourselves please guys ;)
@featheryabigant, @donna, @bobbycable
 
I hit the submit button after I added myself, but didn't see me pop up. I guess it has to be approved or something I'm horrible at doing such things. ha.
 
I'm there. Beautiful day in my part of Scotland today - it's always a beautiful day here right enough.
