Lightbulb Member Locations ?

In the large, multi-national forum we have here wouldn't it be better to have a flag or location shown for each person's post. Maybe even their time zone. (Able to be turned off depending on each member's desires of course).

I understand that I am a dumb 'Murican and don't fully appreciate the huge cultural chasm caused by all these languages.

If there is someplace on my settings that I can enable this feature please let me know (see second paragraph)

Go to User CP(left most word in the blue bar, next to FAQ)
Click on Edit Your Details
scroll down to the Additional Information, and here you can add your specific location.
when down, hit the Save Changes button, and you are done

OK. Now I see it. It seems many (most) peeps here do not enter that. BTW I also entered my UTC offset time.

Just wish more people would enable this for their posts.

As always thank you sir.

It is just like the nicknames here on the forum, certain people want a level of anonymity, so you can fill it in at the beginning or not, or at some later time edit the profile to reflect any change in thought.

Plenty of us enable (manual) location.on the top right, displaying a flag is probably pushing it tho...

I used to be an admin on a couple of vBulletin based forums and can vaguely remember there being numerous addons to the forum software that would allow members to show a flag like you mentioned.

Jaffro,

You have my sympathy living upside down there with Rata. Luckily I think you guys are like a continent apart aren't you?

Talkin' of Member Locations ... There used to be a Google World map with hundreds of member pins on it (including me), but I've lost my bookmark for it and can't find any links to it here on the forum. Does it still exist? If so, can anyone supply a link to it. I'm sure a lot of our newer members would love to stick their pins in it too.
