Announcing: A New Virtual Hangout

Thonglor55 being on Bruce's board doesn't disturb me half as much as the re-appearance of Uncle Albert

I do hope Bruce can control rancid oddballs and misfits like UA

Timmberty perhaps? (And there's many more waiting breathlessly at them gates).

Good luck for your forum, Bruce!

Another example is with ChristianPFC's blog - Christian has posted MORE information about ALL of Thailand and the best far away and interesting places to visit. Unfortunately, if you as a user do not keep a log or database of what he writes - then that information becomes lost. For example, Christian's data should be pinned onto a map of Thailand where each pin would be clickable to investigate what Christian reported for that place. Then if one were to plan a trip, they could link the digital pins to GPS and then a trip would be organized easily. This would be fantastic and would give a lot of extra value to these wonderful forums.

unfortunately in the manner in which data is stored in these forums/blogs - this opportunity is lost....

All my posts are tagged with name of the province. http://maleangpo.blogspot.com/ (excellent website, in Japanese so I only can look at the pictures and read the Thai names) has all places tagged on google maps, maybe some day I look into it and do the same for my blog. Not just places I have been to, places I want to go to as well so I just have to look at the map to create an itinerary. I have this information for Bangkok in my head, when I am somewhere I look at map (without spots marked) and remember what is around where I want to go.

Hi Christian,

Please help me to convince Bruce to introduce the idea of GEO PINs based on GPS positions for your blog and also for the trip report section. It would be so cool to capture and display this information to bring your blog and the trip reports into a new and exciting dimension.

check out this link:

I found this excellent German blog with a good use of GEO PINs. Inthis one which I found an external link from the phpBB forum http://mundraub.org/map it is a German software to pin GEO GPS positions to a map and it looks real cool - tell me if you like it?

The German one is my favorite because when you click on a PIN, it displays a photo, location, and details section - and when you click on the Details section, it opens a web page - in this case that web page that opens could be a link to the Trip Report section to the related trip report - cool no?

cheers,
m.

The reply from BBB seems a rehash of the old BBB [badboybilly] posts of 10 years ago.
Almost to capturing and publishing what he said.
Seems a big set up.

You don't say. Gosh =))

kommentariat I thought you might have a comment similar to that .

I must go looking for the details of BBB who forced his mother to sell her house, so his siblings would get nothing

I was a bit surprised to see it as an "out of the box" message board platform, similar to some of the many other "one hit wonders" we saw with "cruisinggaythailand.com" and that site the Lonely Wombat owned briefly.

As I have stated in the past Neal offered me the site for free three times. No payment.

I accepted, but planned to close it down which was a bigger task than I expected.

I had no plans to maintain another forum

http://www.atlasobscura.com/ and http://www.tour-bangkok-legacies.com/Ba ... ber15.html have geotags, it can't be that difficult, and I support the idea, but I don't know if and when I will be able to do this for my blog.
