I’d like to ask people to put their location into their profile. It kinda makes things a bit more personalized, and helps brewers near each other to get together if the want to. Kinda like the old Rennerian coordinates in HBD!
To do this, go into your profile and click on “Forum Profile Information”. Then you can add your location info to either your personal text or signature. Don’t use the “Location” box…for some unknown reason, your location won’t show up if you do that.
Currently Portland, OR
Hey fellow Oregonian! Gimme a shout if you get down in the Eugene area!
Fine, but you can’t make me happy about it.
Oh wait, I’ve had my location in my profile. Bah!
Hmmm… I put my location in my profile a couple of days ago, but it doesn’t show up under my avatar like I see it for others. Do we see our own posts differently, or is there something I needed to click?
The “Location” field doesn’t seem to show up. I have my location in the “Personal Text” field.
Great idea Denny.
In case anyone hasn’t noticed I’m from The First State…Delaware…
Svejk - you need to put it in the “personal text” field. I tried to edit that, and had to relearn where to change it. Let me see if it works now…
It worked.
As long as I’m still welcome here… :-\
Did that a good while back. It really does help to see where people are.
Got it - location in the personal text field, thanks! Now I’m a little curious what the “Location” field does?
Did this the other day. AND included my Rennarian coordinates!
I like the idea Denny. Always interesting to see where people are located.
I’ve revised my profile to include New Brunswick, NJ: home of Rutgers University, and home of the legendary Old Bay (back in the late 1980’s through the 90’s it was highly regarded as the destination for great beer for the whole tri-state area, thanks to the efforts of the late Chris Demitri)
Is the Rennerian calculator still around somewhere?
EDIT: Found it!
OK I avoided this due to past problems but here were go…
And it isn’t showing.
try putting it in where you wrote “i’m a dry blondie” such as “i’m a dry blondie from -----”
Well I made a compromise even though one should be able to have both personalized text and location concurrently displayed.
Allright, let’s try this out here…
Did it work? I’m guessing yes . . .
I just put mine in the signature line. I think it’s sort of silly for the forum software to ask you to enter your location and then not use it.
