Geographic board ?

[Makhno]

I would really want to know where, all of us, come from ! I know most of the members here filled a presentation post but, maybe, there is a way to make a sort of board by nationality for all the members. It would really help for example if some of us need to know more about a specific collection from a specific country and that a member is from this country. What do you think ?

 

[Pavle]

Nice idea! I think there is a way to do it so that a country flag is displayed bellow the avatar. Give me few days to figure this out

 

[Makhno]

Great ! Could be really helpful for all of us.

This feature has now been implemented.
It will work, but user has to visit the forum in order his flag to be shown. That said if user has not logged in, his flag will not be visible.
Flags are visible only to the members of the forum, not the unregistered visitors.

nice add Pavle !
we can also use google maps to place our locations over the globe, and even expanding it to important locations like panini factories, exibitions, stadiums and other stuff. I started something adding my name and 2 stadiums it looks like this -

everyone can edit the map and add his marker.

Seems @Makhno doesn't know where he's from

@Pei I like the idea, but didn't understand how to place my icon, like yours... An advice to all though: don't insert your full address, just the city/village where you live.

 

[Pavle]

User has to log in in order his icon to appear at first, since the feature was implemented an hour ago.
I do not see much use of adding addresses or even cities, unless you guys plan to organize some sort of local gatherings.
Perhaps marking where to buy stickers/cards in your town might be interesting.

There is a toolbar beneath the search map bar where you can place an marker and edit its name, icon, color or add further description.

Was you at this bar who tried to help me coming back home after having too much beers ?

Done, thank you for the help

Oh yes... And when I got you safe at home, you promised me some sealed sticker boxes for being such a nice guy

The flag feature seems no more available, is there a way to get it back?
It would be very useful to specify the country of origin of the forum members to ask for help with our collections

 

[Pavle]

It works @gaspy ?

 

[gaspy]

Ok, so I can't see other members' flags, maybe my mistake?

 

[Pavle]

It looks like I've accidentally disabled it for the registered user to see it, can you see it now?

Oh yes, now it's perfect
