User locations suggestion
« on: March 23, 2007, 02:28:04 pm »
One feature I like on many of the forums I visit is the ability to see a users location (city/state, country) over by their avatar, and I think it would be a great fit here.
I'm not sure if such a feature is available for SMF forums, but it would be great while looking in the BST forum I could see where this guy is at with his free complete Tron cabinet, etc.. without having to click on his name and view the profile.

I did a quick search and saw a few mentions, but they were fairly old..

Any thoughts?
Cheers!  :cheers:

Just looked over the options and it's not a built in function. I wouldn't want something like that unless the user could turn it off if they want privacy. I'll see if there are any mods.

On previous forums I've frequented, the user entered whatever they wanted for location. The people who want to be known will enter "state/country". The smartasses could enter " a hole in the wall" if they so chose.

or "I only work in cyberspace..."   (looks in Saints direction)
