State(location)included in thread post

Great idea including the posters state when members start a new thread especially in the parts wanted and for sale boards.


Anyway you can make it mandatory that everyone must included their state when they join or post new threads?

We can make it mandatory, and have considered it. I held off to ensure the list is fairly complete. We can add more, such as for bigger states.

One great feature that comes with those prefix tags, is that they can be searched on. You can go to the Advanced Search engine and select the thread prefix (location, for example) and find all threasds that use that thread prefix (location). While not immediate easy, it does help allow users to search content for their location.

Re: State(location)included in thread post

+1 for this. Definitely a good idea. I just used another thread that does this, it won't post unless a location is posted. Great idea.

Also just wanted to state Im loving the ability to edit all my posts 3 years old or 3 days old. I have been trying to go back and correct misspellings and grammar problems as well as un-useful information and replacing it with the correct information/data, but of course without disrupting the nature or "flow" of the thread. Thanks TGO. this also helps update member threads of their cars with new pictures instead of posting them 16 pages down. Thats all.
