Many people have the area & their postcode in the join date/location part of the email.
How is it done?

Hi Derrick,
just click on userCP on the green toolbar near the top of this page and then click on edit profile and scroll down to additional information.
Fill in as little or as much as you want. Hope that is helpful

From the "Quick Links" menu (In the green bar above) select "Edit Profile". Location information can then be entered in the Additional Information section at the bottom.

I have added my location and part of my Post Code - but I expect many already know I log-in from sunny Cornwall.

I've also added my home web page to my profile.
But don't all visit it at once, otherwise it shuts down if too many visitors visit.
If it's not viewable, try again in an hour as the site as a limit of 4mb/hr - price one pays of having a free Geocities site.

For this and other forums, I have a username which shows my location.

Trouble is, in a few years when I retire, I plan to move home to Scotland. Might have to spend time editing all my usernames to MaryinDumfries...

Does anyone know if it's possible to share Google maps in such a way that all placemarks are visible to all users?

That would be good Ian, but I don't know how to do it. Another option might be to use Microsoft Virtual Earth, but again, we need the services of an IT 'geek' to advise on that one.
If it is possible, then maybe it could be updated by individual members at anytime so everybody could view the map on the forum.
IT help needed!

To all of you who have already added the 1st part of your postcode to your location and those who are still thinking about doing it, please add a placemark here Google Maps
I have asked if Russ if there could be a permanent link on the forum to the map.

And, of course, it is not limited to the UK. You can add a mark wherever you are in the world.

Cheers,
