Therian Guide: Forums

Hey everyone,

So... Therian Guide forums have had a map feature since like... 2014. But I guess we never really mentioned it on the forums? So I thought I'd make a post now.

Here it is:
https://forums.therian-guide.com/usermap.php

It can also be accessed by clicking "Our Sanctuary" at the top and then "Therian Map".

To those of you who are accessing this page without being logged in, the user map is, for obvious reasons, only accessible to TG members.


Many of you will know that the map has not been functioning for a long time, but I finally got my act together and patched it up. I also added a few quality of life improvements, such as making it more compatible with mobile phones, and I added some descriptions onto the map itself, to clarify how it's used:

Quote:This is the Therian Guide user map. It shows the approximate location of our members, according to what they themselves entered.

To add yourself to the map, provide a city name or country name or similar into the "Your pin location" field below and click Lookup to find it. The form uses Google Maps, so whatever location Google Maps can find, should work here.

To remove your pin, simply enter nothing (or clear what's there) and click Lookup.

Remember to never share your exact location online!

So, as you can see I have also finally added the requested functionality to remove a pin. Simply change your pin location to blank and click Lookup and after you click OK your pin will vanish.

I realize a lot of this was long overdue, but please try to understand that I do the coding for this in my free time and I don't really have a lot of that.


If you have any further questions about the map, you can post them here onto this thread and I'll try to answer.

LP,
Dusty

Thank you Dusty! I knew some users had an issue with the map but I didn't know it was broken. Maybe we'll see more Therians being added nearby to some of us soon!

And of course, thanks for giving us your spare time. TG appreciates what you do for us. *Pats wolf head*

Hey guys,

Just a small update: If you added your pin and are under 16 years of age, your pin may appear up to 15km away from where you placed it, for other users. This is obviously done for security, because some of you pups would probably not have heeded our warnings regarding not placing the exact location.

It should still be quite good enough for people to know if they live near you or not, without having your exact location.

LP,
Dusty
