Topic Local

Hi, my idea is that under the Topic "Local" please show only Contributions from the home Region based on the place of resicdence - then it is like the missing discussion Topic "Language"

for me local means near my home

at the moment it is not possible give an support because i don't find the questions from the Local Guides near by

ローカルガイドコネクトに参加している人は、自分の住む都市を情報として登録します。

そのデータを活用し、ローカルガイドの分布図を見る仕組みが欲しいと思います。

 

自分の活動地域は他に何人のローカルガイドが居るのかが分かると、交流会を開く場合にも参考となります。

例えばレベルごと。或いはレベル3または5以上などの表示方法もあることで、活動レベルを把握できます。

 

その他にも近隣の都市の空白地帯も把握でき、情報が少ない地域の写真撮影、コメントの登録、ストリートビューの充実を図る計画も立てられます。

 

The Advantage:

- you'll find faster posts 

- get faster a solution

- not read lot of posts

- on Mobile Phone it's hard to find or read Posts

Hi @TravellerG,

 

Great to have your feedback. While an app is not currently available, the website is mobile-responsive in that you can access all the features via your mobile web browser.

 

Hello @WalterSanders,

 

In the new Connect design we’ve introduced labels which you can add to all your posts. These labels include not only topics, such as Photography, Travel, Food and Drinks, and so on, but also languages. Once you’ve found a post in your desired language, you can simply follow the language label to discover all the other posts written in it. This functionality will be activated very soon, so keep an eye out. 🙂

@WalterSanders

Hört sich ganz gut an, mal sehen wie es wird.

Eine andere Lösung wäre es Gruppen zuzulassen.

Ja, hatte sie mir in nem anderen Thread auch geschirieben.

Habe mich gerade muckiert, warum man das Design umstellt, bevor es solche essentiellen Funktionalitäten gibt.

 

Aber ist ja leider nix neues.

Hi @kumax_aomori,

 

Please excuse my reply in English and thanks for reaching out.

 

There's a similar idea in Topic Local, so I've merged them together.

I think the ability to create forums based off of geographic location would be cool. So for example I'm from Pittsburgh and it'd be great to have a forum for Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas so I don't need to filter through posts from people in other cities and countries. Once this forum is created, you could use Local Guide members that have reached a minimum required level to moderate the forum and also add the ability to add updates/posts from that forum as a section on my homepage when I log into the Connect site.

 

I do see the Local Stories section but when I go there I see posts from all over the world, I'd like there to be a way to filter down to just my area.

Hi @P0ffee\ there are pros and cons to this idea. It has been talked about quite a few times in the past. Local Guides is a global community which can make it a bit hard to find things that are local to you. My thinking is that a filter which could be a pill style button on the forum something like "Near Me" which revealed things within X distance of your home city would be handy. I think this would work better than a forum for each location as there are literally millions of locations around the world and it would be very unweildy. Besides, if you were in Portland there are 17 in USA, 14 in Australia and who knows how many in other countries :).

 Hi, @PaulPavlinovich, that makes sense to me. Just a way to filter down and see posts by fellow local guides near me would be great. The ability to filter by nearby could also work if a local guide is traveling and wants to connect to other local guides in the location they're traveling to as well. Thanks!

While I love reading things from around the world and seeing how others live through their eyes, photos or a stories is there a way to narrow that down.

 

I see things from all around the world but never find content  for my region, Is this because there is none or it's just so deep in the other stuff

I can't find it.... I would like to see the connect information have a local part or narrow post down within a distance of my location but still be able to read other stuff....

 

Like on my home page I would like to see stuff from US and Canada but never find anything..

 

THANKS
