HOWTO: Find members local to you

Post by amulheirn »

Did you know that our members area allows you to show members local to you as pins on a map? This is a software feature that we had specially developed for us, but may be something that has escaped your attention. It may be useful in working out who is local to you so that you can meet up for a mini road-trip or something. Give this a go:

First go to this location (you need to be a club member and log in): https://www.the289register.com/amember/ ... lubmembers

1. Click on Member List
2. Select the drop-down to see the regions and select one
3. Click the arrow to filter the member directory to just that region

4. Click 'Search results shown on map'

5. You will need to zoom in. Wave your mouse pointer over a pin and a little card for the club member will pop up - hopefully with a photo.

If you want to add a profile photo of yourself so that other members can recognise you, find a good one and go to your profile page here: https://www.the289register.com/amember/profile. Just below your name you will see 'Avatar' - upload your photo there.

As always, drop me a note if you are stuck.

I find this very frustrating. When using it on my phone/iPad the view starts with pretty much the whole world. After moving and expanding the map it’s possible to get it to my local area. I can click on a pin to find information, but upon clicking back to find another member, the view goes back to world view and you have to go through the entire process again!
