Oh, also - password retrieval is still not working. Sad

Thanks for reminding me! It's working now.

Yeah, I think a message system of some kind would be great. I'll think about it.

I currently sign out to be able to see other users.
How Can I search and see other users while being logged in please?

I just fixed this. You should be able to do both now.

Also, messages within the site would be good; or maybe a forwarding email address @tradebitcoin.com?

This seems to be a very popular feature. It will be a week or two before I'll have enough free time, but I'll definitely be adding something.

wtf do I need to do with adblock to make the site work? I added the main site URL in a filter and did not check enabled. I guess I see the point in trying to force people to see ads, but I don't know if that is really a formula for success. I see no people on the map = fail. No chance in hell I would pay 5 BTC for this. You need to actually offer something of value first.

Hi! Thanks for trying out the site!

I love AdBlock! There are no ads on the site! At the moment it's 100% volunteer run. I use AdBlock Plus and Firefox 3.6 for development. I don't think it's an issue with AdBlock. Did you try zooming out on the map? The site just launched in Beta a few hours ago, so there are only 16 people signed up so far, it could be that nobody has signed up in your area. Type "Columbia, Missouri" in the search on the home page and click "Go" you should see me on the map. If not, there's probably an issue.

I guess your CSS just happened to not load as soon as I started messing around with adblock since people were talking about it.

Anyhow I just tried zooming out the whole way to planet earth, honed in on Columbia, MO and stuff but see zero dots besides my own. I also see nowhere to search at all - using FF 3.6 and don't see what plugin would do anything weird.

It's the hated beast known as IE which prevented me from using it.

Code:

Hello, we detected that you are not using a web browser. Install a web browser now to continue using the Internet.

Haha! Great idea!

Here's an idea,

Download the free maxmind database for IP2location, and just take the user's IP and do the lookup server side without using any maxmind JS includes.

I think I would have preferred to see it use the Geolocation API. (Howto)

I agree with you completely, I wish I could've used that. It's the hated beast known as IE which prevented me from using it. I went with MaxMind because it works across browsers. The GeoIP part is just a convenience, it's not important to the operation of the site. I'll test it out and try and fix it so that if MaxMind is blocked with AdBlock then the site will work transparently. Thanks for testing it out. I really hope I can get it working for everybody.

I like the site. Is it possible to include a feature to communicate with other members using an internal messaging system. Skype,phone,etc is nice but I don't want to give that information out to just anyone immediately before talking to them online.

Works if I enable requests to maxmind in NoScript and RequestPolicy. Sad

As it is currently designed, I would not use it at all, because it depends on enabling requests to a third party website which I do not necessarily trust.

Ok, I researched this. The only information given to third party websites (Maxmind's GeoIP) is your I.P. address. This information is given out with every single request to every website you go to. Your I.P. address is in the server logs of every website you frequent, including the Bitcoin forum. A great way to fix this is using http://mullvad.net to hide it. They accept Bitcoin and they do a GREAT job.

The information you give to my site is entirely optional. As it says on the profile page, you can put in an address, intersection or latitude/longitude. You aren't required to use your real name, your home address or any personally identifying information. In fact, you can just put in a nickname, a Skype id and a lat/lon and you're in business. I don't know how much more anonymous I can make this. Thanks for trying it out error!

error: Which website is that?

maxmind.com, I would guess.

I've signed up but I can't figure out how to search for members.  I'm using Firefox... maybe I'm not seeing some option because of this?

You need to disable Adblock Plus.

I think it is a good idea.  I was just wondering earlier this evening how many Canadians were on here and now here's a way to find them.
