I don't know how to say this in html, with MAP as a clickable link back here to the Forum. I can only do it in Forum-code.
This is cool in that it's based on each visitor's IP address and not relying on them filling in the buddy map or the country in their profile. But I'm afraid we might have too many hits per day and get kicked off.

That should be it? With the link to here changed in the link you want there.
Thanks, Laura!! :) Now we wait to see it update. It's supposed to update daily. But if we're over 2,500 visits in a day, I think they'll boot us off or make me pay for it.

Let me quickly and easily explain to you how to get the large image into the forums post like that.
Wait untilt he Image is actually generated... it takes a few days before they start updatign the image from time of creation...
Then go to the link again and whenj you see the image, right-click it and get properties... you will get a URL for the image itself. You then copy this URL and paste it into the forums between a set of Image calls... its one of the buttons below when writing posts here... it should look like this:
code:
[img]http:www.image url in here[/img]

I'm afraid they'll boot us for being too popular... too many hits per day. Do we like the big or smaller clusters better? Guess I'd have to understand the difference.
P.S. I never knew we had a user in Hawaii before!!

I read something in their FAQ that says having the map visible on every page of a discussion forum will generate too many visits... one per each page view. I moved it to appear in the middle of the Home page, so it will only register whenever someone enters the site or refreshes the Home page. Hopefully that will keep them from saying we have too much traffic to use the service. :)

lmao I thought we was supposed to sign it or somthing but I think Im wrong
Just to get a picture of where members are from... and it does NOT rely on people to sign in, so it's more accurate than the Buddy Map or what country you all put in your profiles (since only about 50% fill out their profile). :)

It updated again with 10,000 new visits. I can definitely see more dots over South Africa.... and some even in the middle of Australia! I wonder who the big dot is over the Canary Islands, too.
