The Google Map thing is great - and we don't have to reinvent it as it has nothing to do with the other forum. It's here: Google Map

I've got a relationship with a bed and breakfast and a really kickass bbq joint here in western new york and was thinking it would be fun to throw a tasting event either early fall or perhaps next summer. We've got quite a few micro breweries here and more opening up. Could be fun here in our sleepy little beach community.

Thanks for the link, RB.
I was thinking that it would be a good idea to start a new one, not because the other was proprietary (it's not), but because that map has lots of stale info on it, at this point -- users who haven't been on the MB site (never mind this one) for years. I figured: new forum, new map, new beginning.

If I find the time to tinker with Google maps, maybe I'll get a new one started, just for giggles.

I'd say it's quite simple, but it appears that one user had multiple issues, I just changed them to 1 vs 8 spots all together... It was setup so anyone can edit (mess it up).

Click on the link.
Navigate using the map (not typing in your address). Use the +/- and move around and zoom in. Find a spot NEAR your home, but not your home (for privacy).
Click on EDIT on the top right of the list of the left window.
Go back to map, right click on the location and pick "Add a Placemark".
Under Title, pur your name. On the icon field, click on it, then My Icons, and pick one.
Click Ok, then click Done on the left side.

Or, PM me your address (or a spot near you like "Ann Arbor, Michigan") and I can add you.

The only "bad" thing about keeping that map (other than some stale info) is the title. Mr. Beer Forum Users doesn't seem to be the right moniker...
Fermenting: Bucket 1 - Fresh Squeezed IPA; Bucket 2 - Empty

Kegged: Keg 1 - Irish Red; Keg 2 - Cream Ale; Keg 3 - Amber Ale; Keg 4 - APA; Keg 5 - Empty; Keg 6 - Empty; Keg 7 - Empty

OK, I took a stab at creating a new BeerBorg map. It's, uh, pretty blank at the moment, but I think I've got it set up where anyone can go in and add their marker, following Rick's instructions.

I've got no idea if this will work for anyone but me, so give it a try and report back any issues adding yourself.

I put my spot on there with a nice snowflake.
Thought it was appropriate for being located in FL.

Worked for me. It is a bit barren out there right now though...

OK, I've started a new thread dedicated to the BeerBorg map. Here it is:

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=295

Note that this is NOT INTENDED TO REPLACE the idea of a MUG/HUG/BUG forum. It's in addition to that idea. Implementation of said forum(s) is up to Louie, if/when appropriate.

Thanks to RickBeer for providing the inspiration to get me to figure out how to set this up -- it was easier than I expected.

Glad we have regional boards now. "Hooking Up" was really concerning me especially with some of our members...

"Filled with mingled cream and amber
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain
-- Quaintest thoughts -- Queerest fancies
Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."
