Member's location in profile

[Chris]

Since we can already go to each board to determine a member's location, can we have the ability to show this in their profile main page as well?  full profile, not mini-profile.

We drew a line in the sand with regards to privacy. That is literally where it fell. We decided that we would show specific board, but not specific thread (no one needs to monitor what you read specifically). And more than that we decided we would only show board if you were also in the board. But we wouldn't show that 'same info' in a profile.

It's the difference between walking into a store at the mall and seeing someone in that public place and having a program on your phone that tells you what store the person is always in. There is a difference to the level of privacy being shared there. It crosses the creepy line for us to need to know where a person is by being in their profile. We added @ tagging and a better conversation system if people want to get in touch. But there's no need (that we can see) to cross that line.

Thanks for checking though. Discussing it really helps others see where the boundaries are.

Fair enough. Just wanted to request it incase it was overlooked.
