User locations. A desperate plea!

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

User locations. A desperate plea!

Post by Jordi » Wed Jan 28, 2015 6:58 pm

I know most people don't see it as too important but especially when buying / selling / asking for recomended suppliers / garages etc.... Its so much easier for the right people to advise when we know where you are located.

Not asking for anything specific but a town or even a county added to the location box in the user profile will make it much easier and quicker to get better information and answers off other forum members.

Thanks

We can make it a compulsory item on the registration form... can't guarantee what people would put in there though!

Go compulsory.

Even something daft is better than nothing, and I'm sure most would put the closest town in.

I'm glad to see it isn't just me it bugs.
