When you have some free time whilst on the Forum, could you please update your profile to include your location and if possible equipment list ;)

Can this be made a "required" field when subscribing?

Annoyingly, it doesn't seem like it's possible. The custom fields can be set to be required, but not the built-in fields (location is one of them). Or maybe I'm being silly... but I checked everywhere, can't find it.

Getting increasingly frustrated when people ask for dealers, suppliers, etc or when they are looking for equipment and there is no location on their profile! Give them info down the road, only to find out they are in another province!

Come on guys - just a general area - not your street address!!!!!

There I have update my location Mr Doogle  :)

Just want to say I deal a lot in secondhand computers on forums (over 200+) and I always post my location when selling. When I post wanted sections I never post location because for me there is always a way to transport items. Most people are prepared to package and I often arrange for a courier to pickup if they don't want to. I know a TT is more difficult but it would still not stop me from buying one from say someone down in CT. I just normally don't want to limit my options to a certain region.

Hmmm, now if you were to add a custom field such "Domicile"? ;)

Is there perhaps a way the location could be integrated in the thread/post?

Let's say below the username. Otherwise you would need to actually click on the user to get the location.
