Make posts display poster's location

Hi:

Maybe this has been discussed before, but has consideration been given to making the forum software display the user's location on their posts? IE "Oakville, Ontario" for me.

Lots of other boards seem to do this. It can be helpful to know if the poster is next door or on the other side of the world.

PS A lot of forums also have a Site Feedback sub-forum. Not here?
 
You could put that in your name/handle if you wish possibly. Also maybe not everyone would like their location disclosed.
 
In case you're not aware, if I hover my mouse over your name, your location appears (Warner). I'm just suggesting to save the hovering step.

BTW, I wonder what is displayed in Tapatalk?

Craig, I use the "Announcements, Feature Requests, & Report Bugs!" forum here to submit feedback, so maybe that could work for 1/2 your question :)

Yes I think I had the option of putting in my location when signed up?
 
I just hoovered over everyone. Seems to work. I guess its just an extra step needed vs. seeing it under person's image / logo. Not sure whatever the board has a setting to do so.
