What happened with "location" under the avatars?

What??

It was never shown there... maybe you're getting this mixed up with another board?

it 'dissapeared () a long time ago.
Not really related to the last upgrade.
It should be added back!

Edit: WDZ, it was there long time ago (when we were on devbb )

It was never in MyBB, was it? It may have been in DevBB...

We already have posts, age, sex, joined, status, reputation... getting kinda crowded.

Well, I just noticed it now

Agree with Chrono, it should be added back

EDIT: Damn, you're fast!

yes u are right
i just checked some of my screenshots () and the location was there when we were on devbb, but dissapeared after the upgrade to mybb
it would be nice to have the locations visible here. its annoying to check profiles (remove the silly reputation thingy that we aint using yet and put locations instead )

Well, currently users can enter a long string such as "City, State, Country, Continent, Planet" and I'm certainly not going to allow all that to be shown next to posts.

What would be better is a standard list of countries that the user can select from... and then maybe integrate the little flags as well. Maybe the flag could be shown instead of the country name... that would look kinda crappy though.

@ flag. would look crappy with this theme
just put a limit of X characters so people wont put such long locations

Blah, just limit the text to 10 chars or something

EDIT: Are you reading my mind, Chrono?

But the long locations are good when you're viewing a profile... I'd rather just cut (truncate) the string to a certain length when it's displayed next to a post. I still think there's already enough crap next to posts though...
