Where Do You Live
 
Click here to enter where you live, I have set up a page for Accyweb users to pinpoint their locations, I know theres lots in the Accy area but will be nice to see how far afield people are.
You only list the town name, you don't put address details in

I dont think so Spuggie as you dont actually put your address in just the town, it seems to place you anywhere in the town, think I might be homeless soon as I am in the area that all the houses are being demolished! but that won't be a bad thing, the railway line behind me is really noisy:)

Its a blind lottery they take you up high and drop you sad thing is you stay were you land. My new "landlord" is charging me a fortune for my tent in his garden.

Sorry but there's nothing I can do about the positioning, its seems purely random.

ShortStuff 07-11-2005 19:38

Re: Where Do You Live
 
I wish I could have made the map a little more interesting - but I'm afraid I'm from Accy too - although I now seem to be a little too close to the railway lines than I would like!!! Never mind - it could've been worse - they could have dumped me in the canal across the road!

Roy 08-11-2005 08:18

Re: Where Do You Live
 
Following on from this, I just found an interesting tool that pinpoints everybody who visits the site automatically using the IP address, although it doesn't know which username and only sort of points out where your ISP is connecting you from :) Have a look towards the bottom of the page for a little icon that says Geo Visitors and click on that....

jimmi5bellies 08-11-2005 08:54

Re: Where Do You Live
 
Stuck a picci of little ol me on it ...dont all charge at once to have a laugh !

WillowTheWhisp 08-11-2005 09:59

Re: Where Do You Live
 
GeoVisitors doesn't seem to think we have any visitors from Accy! Mind you it has pinpointed Dunstable and I know we've got two from down there but they never say anything. (waves to LutonLass and BetterBusMan)

SPUGGIE J 08-11-2005 11:22

Re: Where Do You Live
 
Had a look and I aint there so it dosnt like me or Accy but it will come round eventually.

Roy 08-11-2005 15:41

Re: Where Do You Live
 
It doesn't put the exact location, it puts the location your ISP is connecting you from... which means you lot on Bulldog are probably responsible for the connections from India :) hehe...

It looks a lot more interesting now than it did this morning, just me and me dad and he was marked up as connecting from the isle of man!

I can't find the icon, its not showing here so presume my ad blocker or something is doing its job, whats the link? saves me turning everything off to get it to show

Roy 08-11-2005 16:31

Re: Where Do You Live
 
Nope, not giving you the link. Turn your ad blocker off and view the internet as it is supposed to be viewed.

WillowTheWhisp 08-11-2005 16:46

Re: Where Do You Live
 
I can see it and I've got adblocker on so isn't that interesting! Heehee there's only a pale one in India at the mo Roy and I'm definitely here so it can't be me!:D

Roy 08-11-2005 16:51

Re: Where Do You Live
 
Grrrr.... you people, I am a full time webmaster. I make my money from internet advertising, this supports my family. Please refrain from blatently telling me you have ad blockers running, it doesn't make me feel very good. :(

SPUGGIE J 08-11-2005 16:52

Re: Where Do You Live
 
Tried to have a look again but my works system will not show it. Will have to wait till I go home.

WillowTheWhisp 08-11-2005 16:53

Re: Where Do You Live
 
Shame on me, never, ever in my life will I ever dream again of putting an adblock on when viewing AccyWeb.;)

Actually I find the ads quite interesting and often go off on a tangetial (?) wander inspired by one or other of them.:p

Roy 08-11-2005 17:11

No problem willow :) I understand people use adblockers, I just don't want to know about it :D

Hello again
We were wandering if the Westley Clock is still there ,also has Accrington a new Fire Station , i remember the old one when it opened around 1935 it was at that time considerd the most modern Fire Station in England,also is the Arcade still there

those were the days 06-04-2006 08:42

Re: Where Do You Live
 
Hi, Accrington has a new fire station on Hyndburn Road, been there a few years now, Do you mean the Victorian Arcade? yes that is still there, though a few empty shops in it at the mo which is sad.
