This is actually not a bad idea and would probably fit our own site which is what we originally wrote it for. Will keep the thought in mind for sure.

A link or the ability for the user to update their profile field would also be awesome. :up:

Edit: Also may be allow usergroups to input a message / about / details to be display in pop up.

Not sure what you mean about ability for user to update their profile field tbh. Please could you provide more detail. The usergroup info idea is something which will be possible in the next version as you will be able to add custom profile fields to it. This will mean you could add a field called "Map Info" and users could add detail to that.

But now when I set a location it doesn't save it.

Do you have a link to you site? Does it work on default skin?

Also would it be possible to add the location of a in the pop-up along with other useful data ?

And could it be implemented that the users can not pin the location if said location does not match the IP ?

Basically so a user from say the UK can not select they live anywhere else in the world ?

Cheers again

I will test the predefined avatar issue. This may well be a bug which needs fixing.

We will not be adding any geocoding to the system for a couple of reasons. Firstly if using google it would be a lot of requests and for busy sites that would certainly cause a problem, and secondly the other way of doing it is to add a geocoding database to the server which most cannot do. I want this to be able to be run by anyone regardless of their server.

The limitation on where a user can pin would actually cause more problems than its worth tbh. For example you may have a user who is using a proxy or accessing from another location. Anpther example Im on holiday and Im on the forum wanting to add my location to the new map. I cant do so because Im not in my own country.
