Glass Chatroom Board

If you go to the Members tab you will see a map of the U.S. and you will see member avatars scattered around the map. If you click on an avatar it will open a pop-up window identifying the member. By the way, if you zoom out on the map you will see the entire world, including the avatars of anyone who lives outside of the U.S. If you’d like your avatar to appear on the map, follow these steps:

1. Log in
2. Click on your own avatar (next to the Log Out button). This will take you to your own profile page.
3. Click the Profile link, then click the Edit link which will be displayed directly below it. In case you haven’t done it in a while, this is where you go to edit your profile information.
4. Scroll to the bottom and you will find 3 new fields: Location, Latitude and Longitude, and Info.
5. Enter your City and State in the Location field. I entered Boulder, CO
6. DO NOT ENTER ANYTHING IN THE ”LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE” FIELD. That field will be filled in automatically (after you Save) based upon what you enter in the Location field.
7. The Info field is also optional, but the information you enter here is what will be displayed when someone clicks on your avatar on the map. I entered my city and state again because it doesn’t automatically include that information.
8. When you’re done, click the Save button at the bottom of the screen.

These new fields are entirely optional, so if you don’t want anyone to know where you live, then leave them blank. After all, this is a public board, so even non-members will be able to see it.
