lol ..not that it is a big deal...as maybe half the members have a location listed..but the other half...... well.... do not include the location anywhere. Might be nice to see it next to the title or next to their name. And maybe a 50 state drop down for ease of use when creating a for sale for trade post. Saves the whole ..Location? post commonly needed

If you don't see the location listed under the member's name that is because the user chose not to enter a location into their profile. If they didn't enter it it's not available for the software to display it.

Even if it were possible to force new member to enter a location to register, there's no way to make that retroactive to the thousands of existing members.

I gave up on the people who don't want to post their location in their advertisements. I search the TFL Gun Show with a state or region abbreviation--I never even see the ads of people who don't include that information...
