msmcleod Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 The old forum used to show the geographic location of where the user was based. Is there any plans to do this here? The reason I ask, is that it's common for users to try to infer the "tone" or meaning from the wording of posts, which can often lead to misunderstandings. If it's more obvious a user isn't a native English speaker, then it's a good indication to not infer too much their wording. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starship Krupa Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Whoa, Mark, that's rad that you're concerned about, like, other users' diverse communication styles. 'cause, totally, I hear ya, bro, without the "California" under my avatar, people have, like, no idea. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 That's a good suggestion. But if they are just trying to keep the avatar section clean, maybe add location to sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulo Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Sometimes it is useful to know what timezone somebody is in as it can give some indication if they might reply any time soon or are already tucked up in bed and dreaming of fluffy bunnies, but I think it should be user optional as to whether it is displayed or not rather than as a default. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulo Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Further to above some indication if the user is currently present or not could also be useful, but again leaving up to the user if they wish to indicate this or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurre Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Location does not seem that useful to me. Timezone could be very useful if implemented in a good way. The usual timezone stuff with +1 or +8 or whatever is a bit confusing in itself for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapasoa Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I think that everybody who is writing in this forum surely is somebody who is a flowing english speaking person from any country in the world.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
