Displaying poster's location on posts
« on: November 05, 2012, 04:21:51 am »
Anyone concerned about privacy -- remember that the location block on the profile page is optional and user defined.

Given the large number of international BYOAC readers and posters, this can save bad advice on wiring colors, voltages, vendor recommendations, shipping, etc.

Newer members may not know that you can find location info on a user's profile page.

It will also make it easier for people to know/remember where someone is from while posting a reply.

Case in point:

A quick check of his profile shows he's from Norway.  Missed it by thatmuch.   :lol
