Country in forum profile

wannabepvr · 2006-09-01, 12:49 AM

Here is a wish for us that doesn't require Sub's hard work....

May I recommend that ALL forum uses include their country location in their profile. So much about PVR, EPG and tuners etc is regional and it really helps to know where someone is when they report a success or problem.

I stand to offend perhaps 40-50% of uses when I remind them that the IS a world outside the USA. (despite the fact that I am sitting in a hotel in Detroit at the moment...gotta love that irony.)

I know this helps Sub also - I see him ask all the time WHERE are you?

Are you saying that we here in the US are stuck up? lol j/k yes I know we are. Sad isn't it. That would be cool to see where everyone is from. Very diverse userbase here.

I don't buy that. The world revolves around me and me only. Cool

I am VERY sorry to hear that. It really is much nicer 2 1/2 hours west on the freeway Wink

As long as you accept that somebody puts Skane as being a region in a great nation Wink

It's not even twice the size of Sweden... I really thought it was larger... Or maybe I thought Sweden was smaller Smile

Yeah, but Michigan looks like a hand, here, let me show you where I am from..
(Holds up right hand and points to a spot)

People from Florida get in trouble when they try to use a body part to do the same thing in public.
