Question for Doug and Brad

[Terry Sills]

Is it possible that we can have members locations restored? Personally I found this information very useful. Do others miss this information that we used to have on the 'old' forum.

[Melvin England]

Yes. I always found it helpful to know what part of the planet a particular opinion or view was coming from, especially if someone is selling something.

[Dominique De Bast]

I miss that information as well.

[Douglas Meltzer]

I also like seeing where our members are living, however I have not seen that as a display choice in the software options. It can be seen in your User Profiles (If you've completed that entry), but not on these pages. I will check again.

It's something I absolutely wanted to have, but have been too bogged down to research how to add a location field. I recall there was someone here on the board who was very familiar with this forum's software, so maybe he will know and could drop me a line.

[Douglas Meltzer]

That would be Mathew James. I've sent him a PM asking him about this.

Ah, I thought member locations had to be dropped due to privacy policy. I've also always liked to get this information - especially on a forum where people from all over the world are discussing their hobby.

[Brad Miller]

Nah, saying you live in Chicago, IL or Dallas, TX is in no way any sort of privacy violation. Nobody is posting their actual ADDRESS, just their rough location.

[Maurice Leakey]

I'm quite happy for it to be known where I live, as can be seen on my User Profile. We have members from around the world, and it would be great to know where they all live.

I agree. It’s good to at least have a general idea where someone is located. As Brad says, it’s not specific.
