So, I've managed to put both back in to service. I know it's two years late. You see the old ones were custom code and they required an extensive backend to administer them, and as the forum has been updated they became obselete and stopped working. This time, thanks to advances in technology we're now able to host them on the Google Maps platform entirely, so most of the effort has been porting over the list to Gmaps, the advantage is that they now integrate with the Maps review function, we won't need to put much effort into maintaining them, and we'll be able to update the listings much more easily.

Hope you all enjoy,

Reece.

Is there are chance to integrate a link to recommended rescues and vets in other countries?

Easily, we can pinpoint anywhere globally, just need to wait for handover tomorrow, if you mean the pages specifically then that's even easier, I can do it now :), the map should center on the user's country of origin automatically.

For other countries I usually use Guinea Lynx but I know more decent rescues than are listed on there from my job as Guinea Pig Magazine rescue locator.
I would have to go over the rescues as I know that some of them are actually defunct while new ones have started up.

:) I'll add the links to the pages.
 
I can see TEAS on the map by expanding the map area centred on Northampton.
I guess a map is harder to search by name, but it's better if you are looking for a rescue or vet close to your own location. Swings and roundabouts ...

I expanded it and couldn’t find us but every one I clicked on one around Northampton came up as Animals in Need.
 
You just move the map around as most visitors will use location based on where they live. The list thread will still be available also as always to look through.

The address data we put in the other data is pulled from google maps and not our responsibility but that is the proprietor.

I was just a bit worried we weren’t visible, but if there is a list too, then no problem

There will be. It will be the old one and will be in menu bar.
Debs you are more than visible, because if people need a rescue most people have location on, they see where they live a scroll the see you in Northampton.
