Re: add yourself to the members map

I was not thinking of manually sending the message, perhaps a welcome email on joining, or a welcome PM (though I expect I'd even miss that )

If it goes via a sticky thread something like "Now you have joined one of the best biker forums, please tell us a little about yourself", rather than "before you post" as it should not stop them posting.

In fact I have my profession in my profile, it is just not displayed , so if we asked them to just complete their profile and could display that more, then we would be half way there.?

Re: add yourself to the members map

80 members now, although not sure who some of them are. would be good if people used their forum nicknames as well as their real ones.

Serenity Rambo Kitty says 'Don't push me!'

I was depressed last night so I called Lifeline. Got through to a call center in Pakistan.
I told them I was suicidal, and they got all excited and asked: 'Can you drive a truck?'
