[whoa]

This is cool.

[R1150R]

Wondering if it's just me.......my computer locked up (2 times) while trying to leave this site. Anyone else?

[M2]

It didn't work for me (I tried twice), but it never locked my computer up...

Cheers! M2

Oh, I see now. You have to enter a shoutout!!

[M2]

Worked for me too!

Thanks!

Mine did the same thing. What OS are you using?

[JR]

No problems... someone needed to say what a "shoot out" is....I just "shot" some words. The site worked perfectly with Mac OS X.

I'm running Windoz 98

[terrebandit]

I'm running Windoz 98

I'm running ME and that is similar to 98.

[Texas T]

Duh! Never mind.

[scratch]

This is pretty cool. I assumed the "shout-out" box to imply that we can elect to provide some kind of contact information, so I entered my phone number there.

<edit> My box locked up exiting that site too. Using Win98/I-Exploder on this computer. Any XP users have a problem? Perhaps using a different web browser would resolve the conflict.

[Jack Giesecke]

I've found 98 and ME to have a lot of Java Script problems with newer sites. You can thank Bill Gates' greed I reckon. Always gotta be buying a new system every six months.

Mine has locked up three times now so I guess I won't be visiting that site anymore. :pound:

[wabbit]

pretty cool. One day google will rule the world.


Until then its kind of fun. I wish I bought google stock. :suicide:

[Gilk51]

I am using XP SR2 and didn't have any problems, even on exit. Also use IE6.

I suspect the Win9x series (including ME) will have problems with it...
Perhaps an attempt using Firefox?

[bowillyard]

This is cool :)

[John Bennett]

Hmmmm.

Hangs on my machine at work: WinNT 6.0, IE 6.0

Work fine on my machine at home: XP SR2, Firefox 1.0.7

Stupid Microsoft.

[1TallTXn]

nice, one of the guys over on STn put togeather something like this but it requires you to put in your lat, long cordinates, a little annoying.

BTW it worked fine on OS X 10.4 and Safari. haven't tried it with a MS box

+1

[turbopiper]

Works fine on my machine using XP SP2 using Opera Browser version 8.0

[ddavis]

Can this be set up as a link on the home page? Very nice idea.

[Tourmeister]

I'll check into it.

[fastraveller]

Mine Worked but I jsut did this on the ST-Owners.com site. The I-35 Corridor is certainly well represented as is the Houston Area. Nice to see the out-of-staters throwin' in with us.

[Texas T]

For what it's worth, we've got 106 people signed up and the COG site only has 146 so far. That's not really important, but it was an easy way to just bump this back up to the top.
:lol:

By the way John (I assume you're the admin of the map) if you allow TWT to be in the Frapper database people will be able to search for it and see it in the "Browse Other Maps" section. Right now you can't do either.

[pdef]

I think we broke it. When I click on one balloon, a different one shows it's info.

[Texas T]

I think we broke it. When I click on one balloon, a different one shows it's info. Philip, try drilling down so that the balloons separate a little more and try it again. If someone else is in the same zip code and logged on before you their balloon will be in front and your's will be directly behind it.

[Sinjen]

I made a mistak need to delet a map entry. Made a typo I live in Kyle not Leander.
todd@bumblebeads.com Send me a note on what I need to do.

You have to move to Leander. ;)

[Texas T]

:shame: :mrgreen:

Actually, we need to find out who the Admin is. I believe it's John Bennett since he started the thread. The Admin can correct issues on the site.

[STrider]

Ok. Hey Frapper admin., while my mark is correct by zip, it is actually quite aways from where I live. Any more specific way to enter location?

[Tumper]

That is cool, you can get a better feel for where folks are.

[Chris-V65Magna-TX]

Cool..I'm glad I did a search here first. I have started a couple of Frapper maps at other forums. I was thinking about starting a TWT map but it's already done!

Here is one I started recently:

http://www.frappr.com/klx650riders

Now to add myself to the TWT map. :)

[Chris-V65Magna-TX]

Ok. Hey Frapper admin., while my mark is correct by zip, it is actually quite aways from where I live. Any more specific way to enter location?

I wanted to do the same thing but according to the FAQ/Help, they won't allow defined waypoints, only zipcode-centered locations. :huh:

[Tourmeister]

Probably a liability issue. We don't want any crazies hunting other members down or stalking them... :lol:

[Steve O Chap]

Wow... I'm surprised I'm the only one in the Humble/Kingwood area. :shock:

[Tourmeister]

Nah Steve, you are just the only one that put yourself on the map from that area. I know there are a lot of people on the site in that area. Dower, Alag, Josh28, and some others...

[macktruckturner]

added myself, noticed a lone dot out in the middle of nowhere. Knew it had to be Midland/Odessa, as I lived there many moons ago.

[focus frenzy]

I wonder how it decides where to put the pin at?? it shows mine on wedgewood street????:roll:

[Chris-V65Magna-TX]

The software puts the pin at the 'geographic' center of the zip code you use.

The program does not allow you to input an exact location. For what reason, I don't have a clue! :-?

[a5west5]

I'm in!!! Looks like I am the only rider w/computer in the Rio Grande Valley!!!
:nana:

[Gilk51]

You need to find some friends! ;-)

At least you have a good mo-sheen to ride around on... :-D

[a5west5]

Yes, I love my mo-sheen. I would love to find a second one for my wife, she has caught the biker bug!!

[Texas T]

I'm in!!! Looks like I am the only rider w/computer in the Rio Grande Valley!!!
:nana:
heh... you might be the only PERSON with a computer down in the valley. :rofl:

[Gilk51]

Yes, I love my mo-sheen. I would love to find a second one for my wife, she has caught the biker bug!!
Ever visited this forum (http://www.zr-7forums.com/)?
They have ZRs for sale regularly. Oops - saw you knew about it in another thread - nevermind! :roll:
There is a nice looking ZR7 (no S) here (http://www.twtex.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6010).

I watch for them all the time...

[Tourmeister]

For some odd reason, when I go to view the map, no one shows up!? :scratch:

[Squeaky]

For some odd reason, when I go to view the map, no one shows up!? :scratch:

Are you being patient? :roll: It loads the map first, then a few seconds later starts filling on people's locations one-by-one. I see them just fine.

[Tourmeister]

I have a 4Mbps connection... I am being very patient, hehe. They don't show up even after several minutes.

[Tourmeister]

I wonder what Google does with all the emails and personal info they collect this way... :-|

[Gilk51]

I tried it last night and again this morning & it displayed the red balloons both times. Maybe something messed up with your cookies, Scott? (like tossed, maybe) :-P

[Tourmeister]

Works now :shrug: I did NOT change a thing! :-P

[Gilk51]

[Texas T]

Just bumping this up for all the new folks. We currently have 240 members noted on the site.

(http://www.frappr.com/twowheeledtexans)

[htown71]

Pretty cool.....I signed up and made it 242 and counting.

[Hammer]

I did it as well. I put my real home since I'm headed back to Canada in a month.
You now have a two-wheeled Canuck in the group.

[Texas T]

You now have a two-wheeled Canuck in the group. I guess you can just hit Winnipeg and then pretty much come straight south, huh?

Or should I have said eh? ;-)

[Hammer]

Yeah, except it's super slab all the way.
Coming down here, I took 83 which starts in Swan River, MB and doesn't change highway numbers at all.
83 deadends in Laredo. It joins I35 just North of Laredo.

It's slab too but it's better than I35 all the way.

[McLeod]

Very cool. Good job.

[kschop]

i'm on, too cool!

[DANNYROTH]

I'm in, now, too.:rider:

[lmao_37]

hey thats a first the british flag and texas woohoo were taking over the world again ha ha

[lmao_37]

i found it to hey whats the weather like over there its snowing again here in the uk

[pazzoduc]

I'm in (on). :mrgreen:

[ed29]

The background map just says 'Image Unavailable". ooops.

[Texason]

Yeah, I would like to see this thing working again. :doh:

[FirstMan]

I just placed my self on the map, except it magicly placed a picture of my wife riding her dirt bike. No clue where it got the picture from

[Tourmeister]

I will be upgrading the forum software in the near future. When I do, I plan to include a google map on the main page of the site that has pins to show where everyone is from.

[TLRam1]

I would sign up but worry about including my email in regards to Spam.

[RedPill]

She just looked better than you do. Can't blame the program for that.

[FirstMan]

Heck, on that note, I think every ride report should have pretty girls photoshopped in place of the fat, hary, guys. I mean, we are here to look at pretty pictures that tell a story, right?:trust:

[Dragin']

Worked just fine for me. Thanks for posting this!!

[Tourmeister]

Welcome to the site Dragin :wave:

I did not know anyone was still using this. I was never really happy with it and just kind of ignored it. I've been looking at adding a better google based setup that works with the VBulletin software real nice. The only problem is that I don't know how good an idea it is for people to be able to see right where you live. It asks for a Long/Lat location. I guess you could put the location somewhere close by and not right on your house.

[WoodButcher]

Nearest intersection maybe, or big intersection.

[Tim Kreitz]

I did not know anyone was still using this.

I had completely forgotten about it. Imagine my surprise when I clicked on the link and discovered that I had previously entered my location. The page even remembered my IP number.

[Dragin']

Thanks for the welcome. We were in your neck of the woods last Wednesday. Mike had a computer install for a client in Houston and since the server wouldn't fit in his car, we took mine.I got to tag along.

[Texas T]

Nearest intersection maybe, or big intersection.

Which is exactly what I did.

We need to get those PNW folks, the Bandit owners around the country, and the international users to add some buttons to that map.
