Topic: Put your location ,in your profile

[Tom in Newcastle......Ontario]

Hi guys .....I was looking under parts wanted/for sale,and just thought that it would be a good idea if every-one would put their location,City, Town, village,no need for street adress,or whatever,in their profile,I live in southern Ontario ,so to buy or sell something in say,Iowa,or New Zealand,could get pretty expensive.I just thought it might make things a little easier if you know where things are ....

[tom8Toe]

Good idea mate. 

[Bob Wessner]

At a bare minimum, state (if U.S.) or country would be helpful. We approve many new members without so much as a hint as to where they are located.

The location should show up on left side of the pane with the members name.  That's how other forums do it.

Can this be done on this forum?

Since this a worldwide community, it is interesting to see where people are located.  It also helps to see where they're coming from, as in point of view.

We have enabled custom titles but I can't find any way of automatically displaying location.

No matter where displayed, it will only show-up if folks provide the info when they register (or go back after the fact) and provide it.

[SteveD CB500F]

True, but if it showed "Location:" and blank it would be constant reminder to them to enter the info.

Like it is on any vBulletin board (like this one for example)

Curious,why is it that some people don't give that info when signing up?

[SteveD CB500F]

1. Too lazy
2. Don't like giving info to websites when not mandatory
3. Worried about info security (see 2)
4. Too lazy

Maybe they forgot.

[dusterdude]

it should be mandatory

[SteveD CB500F]

Can't do it.

[my78k]

Would this apply to "Terry in Australia" too?

P.S. I always had mine in there but this thread was a good reminder for me to change towns since I moved this past summer.
