Would it be possible for Forum Users to have their location (City/State & Country) displayed under their forum names or avatars.
Would really help when starting to read a post if we could see at the start, the posters country of origin, in particular this would help when so many Mazda cars are world wide models.

Thanks.

a lot of members do have their location posted under their names.
the only problem is that, when people register, they dont always include where they live. either they dont want to, they forgot, or for security purposes....

if you had a really done up mazda, that you spent thousands on, would you really want everyone to know where you live??
while i trust most people on this forum, theremight be onemember who's a car theif....

I have searched through posts of about 50 topics and have only seen a total of 5 locations shown.
I hardly think having Newcastle,England or Glasgow, Scotland is likely to lead a thief to your home and if your pride and joy was done up that much its not folk on this forum you need to worry about.

My location details have always been listed on my profile, yetthey stilldon't appear under my user name, perhaps its something Admin could answer.
