Yeah... It's called the regional subsection.

I think to be able to have a "Distance to zip code" system in place for at least the classified section would be solid.

I know, I'm just playing with ya. The issue that you will run into is that not everybody puts in a location for where they are in fear that some internet pedo will find them and sneak into their bed at night.

I think that someone in the admin/mod world should come up with a PDF file of a business card design for this forum with its logo that we at home can print out and place on other F150's we see around to bring even more people to the site. I know they do that on the 6crew site that I am beginning to frequent as well and it seems to work pretty well.

Membership location could be interesting. I know vbulletin had something like that, but it didn't work well at all.

Anyone know a forum site that has a location map?

Never seen one, that's why I assumed it would be tough to add something like that but great if you all could do that. These forums (this one for example) are like a template that they give you and you just build off of it right?

"we at home can print out and place on other F150's we see around "

Cards would be cool to hand out if somebody asks but I'll be honest, if somebody left a card ON my truck, I'd be pissed. I don't want some random guy touching my stuff and I think most folks on here would feel the same.....

As a test...see if you can join this location map:

http://platial.com/mapv/F150+Forum+Members/715150#

I don't want you to have to become a member of the site, just be able to put your location on the map. Let me know!!
