Attn: Staff

Is it possible to get the location (if you enter one under your User CP) displayed under the avatar when we post?

A lot of people discuss what they find at stores but don't post where they are. Until people start asking that is...

It would save a lot of time and posts if we could see where people are located.

Can this be added?

Thank you!

No, because I tend to put humourus things there. Mostly because I don't care where people are from. That, and I know for a fact nobody else lives out where I do, so there's not much point.

Hey guys, this is doable, there are a few things in the works, and this can definately be one of them.

I think its a great idea.

This is one of the few forums I frequent that does not offer that function.

Thank you!

EDIT: Okay, I found the new location field in the UserCP however it doesn't appear on my posts. Not sure if there is a setting I need to tweak, I couldn't find anything.

Okay, I found the new location field in the UserCP however it doesn't appear on my posts. Not sure if there is a setting I need to tweak, I couldn't find anything. And it's still not being associated with posts. I'm not sure the reason for your original request was actually understood.

we wouldn't have to ask and you wouldn't have to tell if the field in the user cp profile was viewable in the user profile in posts.:) i believe that was the intent of the original request as i understood it.

Correct. I would like to have the option to include my location underneath my avatar when i post.

From the other posts, I'm obviously not alone in this.

It's something we will be implementing in the near future. Thanks for the suggestion.

This idea sound good. Unless there are creepy people here. Anybody fit this description. I know we collect toys and get pissed if their crotches get messed up but is there anybody here that fits said description?

You could just edit the custom user title in your profile.

No problem, we did it when we updated the boards.
