I haven’t edited my profile here since 2002. And I’m just posting this to see if I have a location in it (which would be three cities wrong by now anyway). ---

Awesome, I have a signature. I did not know that. And I have no idea what it means. ---

So, rather than getting so upset you need to start a Pit thread, why don’t you, I don’t know, just ASK? Oh noes, you can’t figure someone’s location just by looking or by clicking on their username! If they post something where their location is relevant, they likely have no problem sharing that location. Why jump to the Pit as your first action? ---

> [@Kolak\_of\_Twilo](#): > > I doubt anyone who makes much of an effort would have any trouble figuring out my location, therefore I don’t find it necessary to be so literal as to state it outright. Sorry if that is annoying. If you make a post where your location is pertinent, people shouldn’t have to make any effort. I can make my posts in pig latin and it wouldn’t take much effort for people to understand them, but I’d still be a dick to do that. ---

Maybe some don’t post a location _because_ people find it so vexing that they start pit threads. There is a lot of crazy out there, and lots of people think they should have information just to satisfy some gnawing emptiness inside–you never know what’s going to set someone off. I can’t imagine anyone who’d been doxxed would recommend it to someone else. ---

Does mine list my location? On second look it does not list my location in the right-hand corner when I post but it is in my profile so I don’t know why it doesn’t post in the upper right hand corner On third look only members can post their location when they make an actual post in a thread. ---

I don’t feel the need to flaunt personal information because I’d like whatever I have to say not to be clouded by the reader with preconceptions about my age, sex, nationality or anything else, if you don’t mind. _Sent from my mhhhjkkf-9800 from the Playboy Mansion, 12 of February 2074, year 70 after the Big Disaster._ ---

My location (Buffalo, NY) is in my profile - as in, when you click on my name and read “About Me” you see it. But it’s not appearing in my actual posts under my “Join Date” like it does for some others. How do I put it there?
