Location?

Bret4207

At the casting bench in the sky. RIP Bret.
Just wondering if there is a way to add a location tag to our posts where our name is displayed and it says "Well know member" or whatever. I can't keep track of who is where and even if i remember someone is in Texas or Nebraska, (or even NY!), I can't always recall WHERE they are. It would be nice to know when folks are talking weather or travel or whatever.

Ha! It worked.
You can add a "custom title" to change "member" to whatever you want.

Go to account details and it is right under where you set your avatar.

I'm with you on that Bret. I wish it was mandatory on signing up to list a location but sadly it's not. Wouldn't need an address of course, just a major nearby city or the state or something.

Also, if ya mouse over a members name if they listed it, their location will show up in the pop up window, along with join date, number of posts etc.

I'm not sure which way I like better now. I actually like the "member," "active member," etc. in lieu of post count, or worse yet, assignment of military rank for someone who really isn't, never has been or will ever be that rank.

This must be a relatively new feature, I looked hard for it when we first started and couldn't find it. My location has always been selected "visible" in my profile, as has been my current activity.

Bret, you can update your location in your profile, simple mouse-over shows it. Right now that info either isn't entered or is selected to be hidden.

Btw, sig lines don't show up for me on the mobile app but the user titles do.

On this forum? Who has done that?

No, not on this forum. I've seen it on other forums.

My original comment wasn't clear.

What I should have said is that the way I suggested to Brett to show location isn't as good as the mouse-over because it obscures a member's board experience - and I like the way members' board experience is indicated on this forum. Sorry about that.

Gee whiz, Bret. No wonder it is so cold around there, a fair bit of Canada is even with or
south of you! Brrr.
