Location and Changing

[dave3825]

It would be nice if people would just fill in the nearest city and state in the location part of their profile. Kind of like "Lee County"....there are several states that have a Lee county.

When I joined Radio Reference it was trunkedradio.net,and I was half asleep and entered USA as my location and was not thinking straight..
I wish to change this..How do I change my location??


I now think it should be mandatory for members to enter their town and state when joining....

Hey Loumaag,,, how can this be accomplished????

To modify your location first look to the top of any forum page - upper left area - for "User CP." Then choose "Edit Profile." Look under "Additional Information."

This has come up before. As I remember it, Lindsay's response is A) There is no way to force people to enter an accurate location; and B) Some people have legitimate reasons for not entering their location. For instance, a person who is a member of the law enforcement community might not wish to enter such identifying information for fear of retribution from their superiors. I know of at least one member that this happened to. Even though the information he posted could be readily figured out by any astute listener, he was given an "either/or" option. He chose to withdraw, scanning was his hobby but law enforcement was his career.
