acnpt Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 What happened to the Location info, on the posts sidebar? I always found it quite useful and interesting, especially when somebody asks a vague question, saves asking which country poster is from.

Farstrider Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Yep, me as well, I also found it to be informative, that said, not everyone put real locations in the space provided for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrick Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) It looks better with it gone (smaller), but I have to agree, I really liked it being there. I'd get rid of either the stars, or the Joined date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrashG Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Yes, bring it back. I know it's been moved to the users profile page, but that's inconvenient. It was really useful in the Hardware Hangout when recommending parts and supplying relevant links. Sure some people didn't use it as intended (put 127.0.0.1 or other silly things/comments), but most did, if they had anything there at all. Plus it was kinda interesting seeing where others were from. +hedleigh 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhav Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) Definitely bring it back. It really does help discussion because it means other posters know what region the OP (or anyone else) is talking about. e.g. if discussing T-Mobile in the mobile devices forum, it makes a big difference if you're from the UK or the US...the two networks are obviously very different in what they offer etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jont Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I agree, its interesting to see where people are from as you discussing a topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Yes, bring it back. I know it's been moved to the users profile page, but that's inconvenient. Nothing was moved, but it was REmoved from the posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steeley Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I'd love to have it back too. Maybe turn this into a poll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunt Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I notice alot of you are subscribers, including OP. Why didn't you bother your ass to speak up when it was being discussed during the dev build? If its going to be brought back by this late whining, at least compromise and stick it in the popup beside the member name.

IceDogg Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I like the user info/details area to remain as small (vertically) as possible. I like reading the post faster with less scrolling. Only look at the info once in a while (other then the username of course). You have a post with a bunch of one line replies it makes for lots of scrolling with little reading to be done.

Examinus Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Put it back and get rid of the title under people's avatars. What the point in that? I'm sure what people have to say there can go in their signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its going to be brought back by this late whining, at least compromise and stick it in the popup beside the member name. I can't find a thread about it in the dev forum. Also, in the dev forum the location info is present. Edit: We have our location info back now. Edited January 26, 2010 by lcg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
