    This is in response to the request to see where the users of NRF are around the world. I've created a map at google maps that anyone can edit. My pushpin is in the part of Idaho I live.

    Put up a pushpin and make the title your username if you don't care about the rest of us knowing where you live. You could even just put a pin somewhere in the state/province/region/country where you live if you want to keep it more anonymous, but maybe you could mention that it's purposefully vague in the description.

    Let me know whether it works or not. Edit: it looks like it's working.

    Excellent idea jonny. I've always been curious what the distribution of users on this forum is.

    I can't take credit for it, kaos. SkintBrit suggested it in another thread.

    I like this idea because even if the face to face meetings don't work, if you're traveling somewhere there's a forum member you can PM and ask about the area.

    @jonnyapple; Crazy as it may seem this part of the Nikon Rumors site is a bbpress blog (written by the same people as Wordpress) and I guess there should be a way to add this map to the sidebar somewhere... Lord knows how easy or hard it is, but as the theme is so heavily modified I'd have thought that our dear admin staff would have the ability to do that... I wonder if they would be open to the idea?

    By the way, I added my pin to the map too. I guess a visual representation of places appeals to me...

    Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner (no that's the words to a song), no because I'm trying to do it on my phone, but I can't see how I enter myself! I can't see the option that Mike mentioned, and I can't see how to enter a pin, let alone change it's name. Can see all you guys though, it's going to be interesting when we get some more pins in. I'll try again on my PC later tonight.

    Ok I'm on the map. However, I made an error and edit/removed John's instructions on the map title. Sorry about that ladies and gents...just got click happy. Hehe!

    Glad to see SkintBrit idea being implemented :D

    Ok so here is how it is done.

    1) Go to the link provided by johnnapple
    2) Find you place on the map that you want to put a pin in. (do nothing about it at this time)
    3) Click on the red "Edit" button on the top left hand side of the page...(do not put anything in that area that comes up). If you do not see the red Edit button, you need to login to your Google account.
    4) Move your mouse to the map area that you found in step one (Hence your location) and right click
    5) Select "Add a placemark" and fill in the info.
    6) Save and you are now done

    Cheers....

    Edit: Thank to whomever added the "login to your Google account" part....forgot that step. :P
