location of users
« on: February 19, 2018, 09:54:43 PM »
I would love to read a mesg. and have the location ( state - country ) listed with user. Can I turn this on for all users?
Sometimes it would be helpful to know where these users are located.
I have looked around and just can not find this switch.
thx

I have not see such a feature here.
Some folks may not want to broadcast their locations to the world.
Though we do get overseas users asking about local modules not real familiar to us.

Funny thing but you can nearly tell from posting times what part of the world a user hails from. I'm European based and make allowances for differences in module types and power supply voltages and as a result it's CM15a-CM15pro and CM11-CM12 and 110v-220v.

I believe there is a forum mod that will display users locations.
However many users don't enter that info in their profiles.

You can click on the users name and view their profile.
If they have entered their location it will be there. (that doesn't mean it is correct info) ::) :'

Just asking. No problem.
Its cold today here in Glendale AZ. 34 right now... should be for a couple days.
When you are used to 110 degrees plus... anything under 65 is bone chilling.
But we do not have shovel sun light, so its all good.

The Forum clock reading. Looks like the GMT clock.
My posts look like GMT. From my local location.

I don't think it's GMT because Eastern Time is 7 hours AHEAD rather than 5 hours behind.  Also the minutes are slow by 18.  I think the time function for the forum is probably just wrong and not set to look at internet time.  There is a selection in the profile settings that allows you to select the offset and it did detect the correct offset for me automatically.

Right now it's 11:30AM EST

The Forum has been having issues with the time. The Authinx itguy did load a server time keeping program but that doesn't seem to be doing its job. :(
