    Thumbs up states

    Why can't you post what state you are from?
    So it would make it easier to find people in your area?
    I know you have a Google map thing but this would make it real time.

    put you CAN and then there are those that CHOOSE to not.

    go to a local hang that's a great start.

    Maybe he means me? I put Northern IN rather than my city. I like the little bit of privacy. If someone sees where I am from and pm's me I am happy to converse with them and discuss exactly where we are located and how to get together. Has worked for me so far and I have met some fantastic people in my area.

    The opinions expressed by this user are not those of a competent individual. If they were that would mean I know what I am talking about.

    I would like to Bump this thread up

    The trouble with only having a location field, and not a State Field, or a Closest Major City field, is that people can enter in just about anything.

    For example, if I search for "California", I will find everyone who has put "Cali" or "California" in the location field, but not those who put "Los Angeles" or "San Francisco," or "Anytown, CA."

    In fact, when I noticed that I did not come up in the search under the term "California" because I had my location as "Whittier, CA," I did search for "CA." I showed up in the search results then... along with a LOT of people from Canada! (I subsequently changed my location to "Whittier, California.")

    I think a State AND City field will help those seeking to organize a hang.

    My .02 cents.
