I have just been looking at my profile details and found my location was not filled in, I must have deleted it whilst tweaking things. Anyway it is back on there again.
I understand that members may value their privacy, but it would be helpful knowing your location when trying to offer advice.
It is no use me telling someone on here to “pop into thingies shop because they can supply what you want” if they live on the other side of the globe in Australia or India and I live in England.
What I am suggesting is everyone filling in the location on their profile. Just a general country location would be enough.
I do not think it would be too intrusive, but it could make answering posts less of a gamble.
@nicmizer I like the map, I didn’t know about that until you put the link up.
Easier to see location if I click on nicmizer , providing you had filled in your location on the profile. Just the country would be fine in the likes of a small place like the UK. No great detail needed.
The map allows you to put the pin pointer any where you want to. I would assume nobody is going to put it atop the roof of their home. My location pin is a few block away where I frequent.
@basement_shaman true, but then there is the delay between responses which might not be an issue in many cases but in some it could, and can easily be avoided.
Scenario 1 -
OP “Can someone offer some advice on a topic, please”
((waits for reply))
Responder “Where abouts are you?”
((waits for reply))
OP “Here”
((waits for reply))
R “Ah okay, then try this shop, it’s brilliant!”
Scenario 2 -
OP “Can someone offer some advice on a topic, please?”
((waits for reply))
Repsonder “I can see you’re in a certain place, so try this shop, it’s brilliant!”
The delay between posts can of course be a number of days or even weeks, depending on how often people can/will check the forum.
@Effy You can find satisfaction on Facebook. It is very interactive. Where as Snuffhouse is laid back. And not so Active. I see your point .There is also yisraeldov thread :
Golf or bowling could never ever make me enjoy these individual sports because I’m to ambidextrous. So cast off one dock with either hand. Either way I always aim toward that Snuffhouse for the best catch.
