Roadtorque Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 A long while ago I generated a post about the lack of the one bit ofinformation on members profile,, that being your location,,,,,,let me explain,, bike chat/general chat time & time again on thesesites there are pleas or requests for help with one problem or another,,It's no good me living by chester, telling someone how good X, Y, Z,bike school or dealer is, in answer to a question raised by a memberwho may be living in devon,, It would just be waste of time,,When I see a post for help, the first thing I do is look at your profileif this is blank then I ignore it, (Sorry),, It's the same with rideouts,,Any one out for a ride,,,,,,,,,,, were the hell do you live,,,,,,,Come on peeps fill it in,, I don't like to ignore you, makes me feel guilty 1 Quote
Korben Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 And Merry Christmas!! Roadtorque... Official TMBF Moaner!! He has a point though. We are not looking for an exact address, just a city or town nearest to where you live.... It does help things get organised better and can often lead to meetups and all sorts happening!! Quote
yorbandit Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Remember peeps if we know you live some where near you will get invited on more rides and meets Quote

Can a mod do it if they think its a good idea, cos im off out to PARTY!! Quote
MissD Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 is there a way a drop down box can be added at registration with towns around the uk? or am i suggesting the insanley insane! Quote
Susieque Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Thats a good idea Carleen If not a drop-down of towns, a list of regions like those in the Bike Meets section or counties? Quote

mojobanana Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 Thats a good idea Carleen If not a drop-down of towns, a list of regions like those in the Bike Meets section or counties? Trouble is with regions and a drop-down box is that I'm not sure which region I am... midlands or east anglia. Could you put a big list of counties? I know what county I'm in Quote
