1894 Map of Forum Members Italian Locations!!

Just what we were looking for, love the photo's everybody :D

[QUOTE=DavidandLinda]This is hidden away in another thread. We thought as Ric had such a good idea we should try and bring it the attention of more of you.
Take a look at [url]www.frapper.com/italymag[/url]
Well done Ric this is a really good idea, thankyou.[/QUOTE]

Very Funny...this link looks like one of those dodgy home pages, can't find any map... :mad:

its [url]http://www.frappr.com/italymag[/url]

Excellent pictures - lovely Puglian house too!!

[QUOTE=paula hampson]its [url]http://www.frappr.com/italymag[/url][/QUOTE]
Thank you, that's better, LOL.

Grazie mille Sano (seeing as mine's the only photo so far for Puglia), I love the photo's they are all spectacular houses, can we have some more please.... :D Forgot to add, if you squit you will see Albanian mafia knocking on front door looking for any toxic waste and also eldest daughter who was taken hostage for glowing too brightly during the daylight hours. :eek:

Another lovely Pulgian house to add to the party

Elaine has now posted the same picture, but you'll note just under HER name. As a penalty, she will be paying the mortgage on her own for the next 3 months.

That my evil twin sister lives in...gulp!!! :eek:

This is great idea. Do we have to be permanent residents our can we post our summer homes on the map?

[QUOTE=paula hampson]Just what we were looking for, love the photo's everybody :D[/QUOTE]

I agree!!! Lovely lovely photos!!! Best stop buying Xmas pressies NOW & save more cash instead!! Hmmm ... What's the opposite of 'homesick' ?? :D

Fab idea!

Steph

Who is the administrator for this map? I made a mistake and enetered the wrong location. I cannot find how to update/edit the info.

[QUOTE=Frank]This is great idea. Do we have to be permanent residents our can we post our summer homes on the map?[/QUOTE]

I've put my holiday place on - so go for it!

This is a great idea! Wish my husband and I had ours bought already. We are more anxious than ever now after seeing these beautiful places to sell ours in California and pack up and move.

Thanks!

Just don't move to Abruzzo.. Something about the lack of toilet facilities.

[QUOTE=Frank]Just don't move to Abruzzo.. Something about the lack of toilet facilities.[/QUOTE]

I'm confused [as always - its my advanced years]

I thought it was Puglia that didn't have the toilets

Lots of toilets, lots of sun and lots of women in black dresses ;)

There certainly are toilets in Puglia. I would'nt go there if there weren't. First thing I do is check out the toilet situation within a region. Most of Italy passes with flying colors.

I seem to be in the USA tell me how to edit my location, pretty please.

[QUOTE=Frank]Just don't move to Abruzzo.. Something about the lack of toilet facilities.[/QUOTE]
Frank, is there a lack of public toilets or lack of toilets in homes for sale ;)

[QUOTE=Cassini]I seem to be in the USA tell me how to edit my location, pretty please.[/QUOTE]

No way of editing as far as I can see, but I've deleted your entry so you can re-submit with your correct location! :D

Great response, just going over to the site to try and download a picture of our house. Not very good at all this technical stuff!

Thanks Ric have now submitted a lat/long request. Lets see if I appear - its up to frapper now.

[QUOTE=Joanna]Frank, is there a lack of public toilets or lack of toilets in homes for sale ;)[/QUOTE]

I don't use public toilets. Most homes I've seen have toilets..

Why doesn't everybody get a balloon, as far as I can tell Elaine and Kate, myself and Kathy havn't got one or are we hidden behind somebody else :confused: :p :rolleyes:

Your hidden behind Ric. To many of you living close together on the map. I'm glad to see that even at this time of day your on this forum..

Its only 9pm here Frank, just carefully keeping an eye on a bid I have in on ebay, something for hubby for xmas ;) and keep flicking back and forth

Yes, the San Vito dei Normanni balloon has a thick border as there are several of us there.

Not a very satisfactory outcome. If anyone knows of a better free map we should change over to something better........

Also............

........maybe I'm being too sensitive here, but I'm a little bit annoyed that some people see this as a way of free advertising. This is meant to be a friendly way of forumers showing others where their Italian properties are.

I've already deleted a 'photo' by Lifeinitaly.it - which wasn't a photo, but an advertising banner.

I'm also tempted to delete the entry by "The cincinnato" which is nothing more than an advert as well - but I'll wait for the opinion of others before doing so.

There is a time and place for advertising your business and trying to make money, and I don't feel the map is appropriate.

Anyway.........

........I'm counting down the days until I go back to Italy. Dec 9th. Both me and Rachel are taking our Mums to show them our investment :eek: Well, the flights are only £25 return including taxes, so it had to be done :D

I say you delete the advertising...

[QUOTE=Frank]I say you delete the advertising...[/QUOTE]

Yes, I'm sure you're right.........

Done. :cool:

Great idea and my balloon is on! Hello neighbours!

I agree this is not the place for advertising

[QUOTE=Russ]Great idea and my balloon is on! Hello neighbours!

Ric, I vote to remove the advertising from the map. There are areas on the forum I think would be more appropriate.

Ive just added our house so you can all see what we are up against pic taken in Sep 2005!

Becky

ciao a tutti just added our trullo and a picture of the mrs's bum whoops! she who must be obeyed will not be amused, ciao marco.

Hmm am trying to join in but keep getting 'Invalid city please try again' - have tried Monte San Martino, Sarnano and Amandola - any idea what I'm doing wrong - is there a limit to the size of photos - am trying to attach one thats quite large..
Yes I am a techno-pygmy.

M

Yay! Sorted it, well sort of - Macerata is about 30 kms from us I think but at least its in the vicinity..

M

I found this out by error - but it works pretty well.

WARNING - This is from my failing memory - so its about right - but may be a bit wrong - so experiment!

1. Click on 'remove me' under your entry

2. When it goes to the relevant page [your entry/photo etc.] - click on 'modify location' [or some name like that]

You don't need to change the name of the big town you've already put in, BUT---

3. look at the small map with your balloon on. and you can move the balloon by clicking on the map where you want it to relocate to - so click the spot on the map

4. Refine this new location by zooming right in on 'satellite' setting and re-clicking at the right spot.

5. when satisfied - click the 'save location' button and HOPE. There may be another button as well to press - have a look around [I think there was a second one that needed pressing]

I ended up totally deleting my original entry and starting from scratch with a new one - but at least my place is in the right location now.

------------------------------------

BY THE WAY

Its lonely up North! - but then I suppose that's why I chose where I did - to get a place where Italians lived.

Hmmm added my humble location... in Edinburgh! :(

Sorry, just had to add one of the beauties of living in the UK - a lovely winter sunset!! Not wanting to spoil the collection of luvvly houses though... ;)

Stephanie

Smile! To me, you're in one of the best cities in the world! :)

[QUOTE=derekL]Smile! To me, you're in one of the best cities in the world! :)[/QUOTE]

Surely that would be Glasgow!

May be a daft question but why is your balloon in Albania??????

[QUOTE=ferginitaly]Surely that would be Glasgow![/QUOTE]

As the Edinburgh tourism slogan goes.....
"Glasgow. Not far from Edinburgh. Not far enough!" :)

Ric

what's with the advert on your last post?

becky

[QUOTE=manopello]Ric

becky[/QUOTE]

Ha!

I take it you are in some way connected to someone whose real estate advert I've removed from the map.

Sorry if me having a link to an external site in my signature upset you. Hardly the same thing, but I've removed it just to please you. :rolleyes:

hi ric

not bothered but were'nt you saying how the forum shouldnt be used to advertise? It just seemed wierd that you then put a link in your post.

Please don't remove it to please me it is not at all important in the scale of things.

Becky

Any ideas about how to get a location recognised. I have already entered latitude and longitude of Perinaldo but nothing seems to be happening. The system won't even allow me to put in nearby towns even though they appear. Is there a special trick I need or a rescuer?

Perinaldo is not on there, but San Remo is. You should be able to add yourself with that location, then use alan haynes' trick on [url=http://www.italymag.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=1894&page=4&pp=10]page 4 (click here)[/url], to move your balloon slightly to the position of Perinaldo. :D
