We have been working on this for awahile as we know so many of you want to remember and share your timeshare vacations with friends and family (and other TUGGERS)

What we have developed is a Timeshare Vacation Timeline History so that all of your reviews are displayed in chronological order, and also superimposed on a map with pins indicating your vacation stays!

Here is an example:

http://tug2.com/timeshare-vacation-history.aspx?id=tug


now notice if you are not logged in, it just displays the map, and your review summaries (resort name, and date of review) anyone who is a TUG member and is logged in can of course scroll through and read/see your reviews in the timeline!

(editors note: you will be able disable this feature if you do not wish other TUG members to see your review history at all)


While this is close to actual release, any feedback/tips/suggestions/complaints/prayers are of course welcome!


if you want to see your own timeline, you can replace the "tug" username above with your own TUG member login ID.

You can also view your private Timeline history by logging into http://tug2.com then selecting the MY TUG dropdown box at the top right and choosing "My Vacation History".


hope you enjoy this new feature!

I like it.

I try to review every timeshare I visit, so my start page shows a world map of almost everywhere I've been.

Will there be a way to add pins for resorts we haven't reviewed? I try and review all the lesser known resorts we visit but the Surf Club in Aruba has so many reviews that I'm not sure what I'd add lol.

And thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think this is an awesome feature!

Why doesn't the title under your TUG username reflect this?
Is the TUG Reviewer title optional? Is there some way I can remove it?

Thanks

What's the best way to add resorts I visited before I became a TUG member and started doing reviews? Trying to remember back so many years and making reviews just to get the resort on the map and in the listing won't really help anyone.

I went to the url line, removed "TUG" and added my user name and it worked well, showed my map and reviews, I was not logged in. I like it'

Hoky Smokes, TUG will remember my travels when I can't. Heck, I don't even remember where I was last year. All the trips run together.

It's like reminiscing over a box of old photos. Oh, people don't keep boxes of photos anymore?

Thanks, Brian and crew. Nice feature,

Jim

they might use a different email for membership vs the forum login...email me and I can fix the issue =)

and yes, I can remove your Title if you do not want it displayed on the forum...shoot me a PM.

you can still add reviews if you like for older stays (check to see if any resorts have really old reviews and maybe even yours would be an update)

Ill see what we can do to have folks easily add "pins" for older stays where reviews wont really be helpful but to add to the timeline.

also note that for those of you who keep your timeshare history public, you can actually link this in your TUGBBS profile or signature for all to read and view!

like say for the "website" option in your profile! =)

I stopped writing TUG reviews a few years back for a number of reasons - now wish I had kept them up to track my travels.

also this is all live data, so if you submit new reviews even now..itll show up on the map.

I liked it. But the resorts showing under my name are not my reviews.

is it possible that your TUG member login is different from your bbs login?

email me at tug@tug2.net so we can get that sorted out!

I don't see a "My Timeshare History" under the My Tug menu. There is a 'My Vacation History" which does take me to my review map.

This is a pretty neat feature. Just need to make sure we review each property we visit at least once so we can see all the properties we have been to on the map.

This is great. I see I have several vacations that never got a resort review. Please keep us informed on when we can add to the timeline without a review. Thank you for this feature, it's lovely.

feedback sofar has been amazing, so glad everyone likes this so much!

will certainly work on a way to let folks add pinpricks for very old stays.
