Tell us your location so we can help

[bobj49f2]

Why doesn't everyone list their location? I've noticed a lot of posters don't have their location listed below their avatars. When people post questions about problems their having with their vehicles or are looking for places to find parts or services it would come in handy to know your general location. You don't need to give us directions to your house but if we knew your general location some one might be close enough to take a run over and see if we could help or suggest local outlets for parts or services. I know I would take a short drive to help a fellow flatheader if I thought I could help. I would be more willing to help if I knew the poster was in the next town over. Also, maybe if you see some one posting in your area you could drop them a email just to say hi. You've probably passed them a half dozen times over the years at shows and swapmeets. I will admit I didn't think of including my location on this board until today because I just didn't think about until I read a post about a person having trouble with the F-1. I have my location listed on all the other boards I visit including the HAMB and FTE.

You just have to go into the "User CP" and enter it into box in "Edit Your Details" option. No one will be able to track you down if you give your general location, "SE WI" or "Milwaukee, WI" but it sure could help out if you can't find that one elusive part you've lost and I'm down the road from you.

[Russ/40]

Great idea, and contribution on your part.

[Dave72dt]

Bob, I thought you were in SE WI. I think you've got a typo in your location. otherwise you just moved a bunch closer to me.

[bobj49f2]

Dang, you're correct.

How did you know that?! You're pretty sharp.

I changed it, thanks.

[Dennis/Arkansas]

An excellent idea! Such an easy thing to do. Dennis/Arkansas

Remember you from the old forum. Visited your site several times when redoing the F-3 several years ago. Belonged to a customer who lives along the lake in Milw and collects, restores '30s Harleys.

[Mick/mo]

Good idea.

[~~Walts37~~]

Great idea why not

[redfor40]

really helps if buying,selling,or needing help

[Lanny]

I still see lots of members with "NO Location" listed under their screen name.

At least put the "Country or State" you are located in.

Bob unless you want to jump in a boat ,I think you would find a lot of people are from other countries

[Gastrick]

I always tend to glance at a users location to see if anyone is near me. I find it helpful when users list their location.

[night-train]

I`m in. Good idea!

I'd always welcome a visit but am thinking Im the only member from China. But I am about to start building a house in Japan and am Australian so maybe in one of those places I'll be closer to other members.

Still alot of members with NO location listed under their avatar.

I know you don't have to list it, but maybe it will make a difference
when you are looking for help, or parts, or maybe you will find a new
found friend in your neck of the woods.

Being south of Pittsburgh,Pa. is not to bad. We live in a small town and that the way I want it.

Pete, I think what's being asked here is to include your location in your Avatar. That way we can quickly see where folks are located if they need some type of help. I agree with the intent of this original post.

[42panel]

Great idea especially when looking for help locally.

[jim1932]

I do not know if this has been done, but I would love to see a sticky thread or forum where the vendors can be listed. Seems like half the time I need something someone posts a new vendor like Dick Spadaro or Dave Renner or Bill Wzorek... guys who are on here helping people and should get our business. {I am new here so no doubt I left some very good vendors out of my list, these are just the guys I have dealt with since I got on here.

[Bruce in southern OH]

Always worked for me, great post,

[John Kennedy]

That was always a pet peeve of mine, especially when they want to sell something.
I've always had mine listed. I'm in TUCSON ARIZONA. Any Barners or HAMBers are always welcome at my home.

Yes, it would be great if everyone would give there city, state, country location on discussions, for sale and want ad posts. This would be a huge help when trying to respond to questions or for items wanted. Sometimes if I don't see a location I feel it makes little or no sense responding.

Another thought....I see many WANT ads that have "anywhere" stated in the area asking for their city and state. This is not supposed to be used for where you would like the wanted item to come from, but rather the address/location of the person placing the ad. The location of a person placing a want ad may be a big factor in getting someone who has that part to respond.

[kelly.ga]

I love it. A good way to meet new people and make new friends such as Lawson.

Awesome FordBarn-ing going on here... So many posters who aren't active, and some of our most helpful current members are in this thread. Get out and drive y'all!
