Jason Merrick Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 I can't remember if the old forum software had them or not... being on the west coast, and finding that most of the guys on Xbox Live are on the east coast, it is very helpful to know where someone is from when I am discussing playing online with them. Is there a way to add each person's location under their "bit" rating? P.S. It doesn't come up with the "mini-profile" button either.

Starhawk Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 Hey Jason, I too miss the "location" feature that was on the old software. You can still find it under the Full profile by clicking a members NAME in the top left-hand corner of their post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktulu Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 I was just coming over here to ask the same question. Being from Canada its nice to be able to tell where a poster is from particularily when they mention a price on something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 I agree. If you were from the UK I would read your post in a Brittish accent just for authenticity. I can't do that anymore. Perhaps it could be altered to "Game zone" for matching times for Live & PC gaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelley Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 My only issue with it is that some people just put silly stuff in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, then require actual locations. If you put a good reason (like those mentioned here), people shouldn't have a problem with it. They don't even have to be specific to a city or anything, but a timezone at least would be nice and maybe a country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark E Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Well, then require actual locations. I'm with this for reasons stated above, and the price thing is a good point. I mean, couldn't we just insert a new rule in the list saying that if you're going to put in a location then it has to be an actual location not some bullshit one? That way people who want to can do so and those who aren't comfortable can skip it. Realistically, most of the pinheads who would violate that rule would end up getting the whippin' stick for something else anyway so no harm no foul .

As to the time zone, I just discovered that a user's profile shows the user's local time. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
