Question Where are you?

One of the most common questions I see posted in the FGC forum is where are you?

G35driver's forum software has a neat feature that displays your location on every post you make. It lets someone know where you are just by looking at your post. It's very useful.

I know this is old hat to all the regulars in the club... but I thought it might be nice to have it written up as a user guide for everyone... and of course the big reason is that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers got clobbered by the Patriots yesterday and I can't bear to watch any more football today...

Here's how to do it. Roll your cursor over the "Members" link in the G35drivers menu bar. If you're using a browser that's fairly new, you'll get the following rollover. If you don't get the rollover, just click the "Members" link.



Click the "Edit Profile" menu item and your G35driver profile will pop up. (If you are a member). Scroll down until you see the "Location section. Type in your location and click the "Save Changes button.



From then on, the location you typed will show up in the "Location" section on all your messages. Like this:



Pretty cool, huh...

Actually...

Now that I think about it a bit...

It is exactly what we would expect from a lawyer...



A whole lot of information that is of no real value to anyone...

j/k of course... I couldn't resist...

My member title already states my location precisely. Yet I've had people ask me where I live. On other forums people can put the year/color of their vehicle in their profile, and yet I've seen others ask them what year/color their car is So those who don't have eye or reading comprehension problems should know where I'm located already

JB how are we supposed to keep up our post count if your asking people to add their location when it's one of the most popular questions?

I agree it would be nice for all FGC members to have their location listed.

I wouldn't say your member title locates you precisely.

It does narrow it down to the following counties: Manatee, Hardee, Highlands, Sarasota, Desoto, Okeechobee, St. Lucie, Martin, Charlotte, Glades, Lee, Hendry, Palm Beach, Collier, Broward, Monroe, and Miami-Dade.

So, Finiti, where do you live?

I'll send you $100 if you do it. $75 for the calipers and $25 just for fun.

BUT... I want to be there with the video camera and then be the one who gets to show it to Wes. He would have both of our heads for sure...
