It appears that as we get more and more new members, the location of the member is not filled in on the profile page. Whilst this is not mandatory alot of people have been asking questions such as "where do I get?"
If you do not put your location or even country in your profile then please put it in your question so at least people from the same country can help.
This will ensure you receive a quicker answer from somebody rather than them asking where abouts you are located, waiting for that reply, then determining whether they can help.
Thanks.

It also helps to know your location, so we can recommend available meds, cycling products, etc.

not that you're looking for things to do...BUT... a local fish forum that I'm on has a members map- that would be pretty cool for TPF cause I've noticed we're all over the world! Any chance of something like that getting implimented?

Ah yes, a members map would be very cool...I've seen a similar thing: a map of the internet.

It would be cool, but a lot of work. Well, at least a good looking one would be a lot of work. Not to mention the need for a filter of some kind to find how many people are in various locations. I kinda doubt that would be an option at this point. A very nice idea though :)

Adding our own map, like frappr, is actually relatively easy - and something I suggested for the "puffer Locator" a while back... it will probably go on the (long) list of things to do...

There is one thing I do not like about Frapper though.. you can't edit a "pin" once you put it on there. So if it changes or something...

At least I've never been able to.

Bravenet also has one that is supposedly more customizable, you can choose your own icons for the pins, etc but the one time I played with it I couldn't get it to work.
