Just wondering if there is a reason why GZ does not have an area to display the users location next to their post(or am I missing something), this can be useful when assisting people with advise IE local stores etc, or helping other members out if they are local, well I find it so on other forums….your thoughts…..

We only provide a "general location" - the country flag, which is only visble when you are logged in, and is based on an IP address. We don't require users to enter their address/town - and many don't even enter their actual ones anyway.

Not a bad idea, it'd be cool to see (just list the main cities).

And right there is where the first debate would start... 'Why is where I live not on the list?'

I think this could be useful as an opt in thing.
