I think location should be part of the form to be filled out when opening a new account.
Still optional of course.

Can't count the number of times just in last month where their location is relevant to providing a solution.

One less question and response to be waited on before resolving problem.

If it's optional, most won't fill it out, anyway. Even if it's required (like on my forums), many people still fill in something like "earth" or "in my house" or things like that.

At least then we'd know why they can't connect to Hulu

I already did. You missed it.

Perhaps if there was a reason given for the location like it'll help with their problem resolution.

I know speedtest.net tests and connection issues is where location comes into play…

now if we could just figure a way to improve our 'senile' members' memory between the 'reading' of the 1st post and the posting of the 10th post.....

Actually, it's my experience that if the person perceives a valid reason for the data, they're far more likely to enter it. I think you oversimplify the issue.

I think at least giving the country is a good idea.

[daniel_b2380]

giving the country AND some computer specs - [as i've posted numerous times, and all of us] - either ON the personal page - or IN the post where one is asking for help - [can't say in the sig line anymore] - would be a FANTASTIC idea - but instead, y'all know what is posted:

i 'puter prubs - halp - and do it quick because i have xxx to do!!!

and then, when you ask WHAT make and model:

it intel xp

don't need to say anymore, huhhh???
