Nice! So 13 seems to be the number to beat. We've got 2 locations with 13 DZs in a 100 mile radius. The east coast is loaded with places to jump!

Hey! Can you clean up the advertising in your sig please.

Hah! I knew this would be useful in some obscure way... Still, what's the most you can find? Safe swoops Sangiro

Ok - this is one of those stupid things that can suck you in and waste your time! Here's the challenge: Go to the Drop Zone map search in the Drop Zone Database. Leave the search radius at 100 miles See if you can find a location that will give you more than 11 DZs in a 100 mile radius off the bat on the original search. No scrolling after you've done the search (that will give you more results) - there has to be more than 11 on the search results listYou can find 11 in a 100 mile radius in Florida: lat=29.03215782622282 lng=-81.62017822265625 Safe swoops Sangiro

So which page did you open when you were "attacked" by all these cookies? Was there and EBay Google ad on that page? I've never seen an EBay Google ad here but of course the ads vary depending on where you are. Not sure how else EBay content would make it from this site to your PC. Safe swoops Sangiro

Hey Kris, So this DZ doesn't exist anymore? http://www.dropzone.com/dropzone/Detailed/385.shtml Safe swoops Sangiro

Heya all, We've added some functionality to the Drop Zone Database to make it even easier to find a DZ anywhere in the world. In the past, the primary way to search for a DZ was to browse through the continent and country categories. We've now integrated Google maps so all you need to do is move and scroll the map to position the cross-hairs over your location, select a radius and search for DZs in the area. Easy as that! While we've had a ZIP code search feature for a while, that functionality restricted us to searches in the US and some EU countries. Now you can pick a spot anywhere on the globe and we'll show you the DZs in the area. Drop Zone Owners - Update your location information! If you're a DZO, webmaster or someone who maintains a DZ listing on Dropzone.com, update your latititude and longitude information today, or you will not show up on location searches. We've made it easy for you to enter your location. No need to find a GPS or lookup the lat/lng coordinates for your DZ. Login to Dropzone.com. Click on the "Modify my DZ" link on the Dropzone database page. Embedded in the form you'll see a Google map. Scroll and zoom to place the cross-hairs on the location of your DZ. The lat/lng fields will automatically be populated with those location coordinates. Click on the "Modify DZ" button at the bottom of the form. That's it! You can of course still browse or directory, or even search for a DZ by ZIP code or address. Handy Dandy Tips and Tricks Once you've done a search you'll see a map with pins indicating the locations of DZs within your search radius. You'll also see a list with the names of those DZs. Click on a DZ name to visit their listing in the DZ database. Now, try this: Click on any pin on the map to and you'll see a "bubble" with the name of the DZ and a link to the DZ listing in our database. Scroll around the map by using the controls or "dragging" the map with your mouse. As you scroll, new DZ pins will pop up on the map! You can move around the entire globe and we'll continue to dynamically place DZ pins as you move around. Ooh! Look! Something shiny... And finally, a big shout-out to Ross Simpson, who has volunteered a lot of his own time to help build this application. Thanks Ross! Safe swoops Sangiro

...not that I'm aware of but I'd like to hear from others with an iBook. What's your friend's username? Safe swoops Sangiro

Walt, Please take this rubbish somewhere else, it's becoming a bit "old" now. Safe swoops Sangiro

Heya all, We've done a major upgrade to the Dropzone Mail application. Beside a bunch of new and improved features and functionality this also fixes some issues that we've been having with the old application (like the address book not working for some users) Take some time to click around, explore and familiarize yourself with the new application. We strongly recommend that you read the Help section. There are a loads of new features and this will set you on your way to getting the most out of this free mail service. One major improvement is that Spam Control is now done not only at the server level, but also at the individual account level. This means, while we still have default setting that will flag incoming messages as spam if it meets a certain criteria, you can now control how "strict" or "lenient" you want your spam filter to be. To change your spam settings go to: Options --> Spam Detection. At the very bottom of the Spam Detection page you'll see a link to: Show advanced settings » Click on that and you'll see a bunch of settings that you can tweak to fine-tune how spam will be managed in your account. For example: changing the "Advanced View" setting from "No" to "Yes" will give you a link on each email that enables you to flag any message as spam or not. You can do this with legitimate and spam messages. The more you "Learn" the system what a spam message looks like and what not the more intelligent it will become in filtering them out. And finally, when you visit the new application you'll see things on the pages look a little different. The global navigation links moved slightly, the header and footer looks different... We're slowly starting to update the entire Dropzone.com template set. Don't log those as "bugs". Any other issues or problems you may find, feel free to let me know in the Error and Bug Reports forum. Read the Dropzone Mail Help section Hope this helps. Enjoy!

Heya all, In the future all visitors will be required to register and log in to view, read and participate in our community forums. This is in line with what's being done on a lot of topical sites out there that provide a platform for off-topic discussions. In our case there are 2 major drivers for making this change: The topics discussed in there are obviously not often skydiving related - so the argument goes: "You are welcome to access and read the skydiving forums. That's what the site is about. If you want to read and be involved in the stuff that relates to the community, at least make some effort to become part of the community first." I get requests from users from time to time to require registration for these forums and this is the reason they usually put forward. The second reason has 2 considerations and both stem from the fact that Google and other search engines has access to those forums. They will not be able to crawl and index those if registration is required. First - users often post stuff to these forums that they would prefer other people not find with a simple Google search. Be it their kids, boss, ex, pupils, girlfriend, boyfriend or parents. While I'm a firm believer that people should take responsibility for what they post to a public forum, I also see no reason to make everything in those forums readily available to the world. Second - there is a business consideration. Google determines the nature and importance of a site to a large extend by it's content, and the relationship between the content and the perceived "topic" of the site. The sheer volume of content in the community forums, and the variety of subjects discussed in there leans heavily on how the site is seen by search engines for the purpose of rankings in search results etc. Besides Incidents the following 3 forums will require that users register and log in to participate in the discussions: The Bonfire Speakers Corner Women Only Have fun!

Nick, Who said anyone, not only Americans, dying at war was funny? I recall you complaining (as you seem to do a lot nowadays) in some other thread that I was "assigning untold meaning to your thoughts". You're showing yourself to be a master of the art. I know you enjoy writing about BASE from your years of experience and we all enjoy reading it, but please do not make the mistake of assuming for a second that I need to be told about the impact and consequences of war. I have plenty of first-hand experience and is well able to form my own opinions about it. Safe swoops Sangiro
