Where do you live?
OK, maybe just a minor issue. Why do some members not list where they live?
Not a big deal here, but in the "for sale" section I would think it would help! Especially when your trying to sell a large item.
Ya, I know you can just ask. But how difficult is it to just have an address it under your name?
OK, I feel better now

Why publish personal info that is not required?

If they are looking for something, its easier helping them look. Its easier if you know they are in Pennsylvania or Oregon. I have seen many times guys say ( Thats the car I have been looking for) but on the wrong coast. It helps the person helping you.

I agree with not posting personal info on the interweb is smart, but listing the state poses little, if any risk. You can sometimes gain some perspective of a posting based on what Part of the country they live in.
Enjoy while you can.

City/state at a minimum. Can tell you a lot about a member's challenges when he's asking about car issues. Somebody in Denver can have a lot different fuel problems than somebody here in Central Florida. Other times you can perhaps recommend a local bodyshop or painter if a member is in over his head if you know his whereabouts.
It helps with things like that.

If someone is making a Sales or WTB thread, they could (and should) provide a location for people at that time. If they are asking for info relevant to location they should do so as well. But if members do not want their location on every post, we respect their choice not to make them provide that.
Regarding adding your location, hit your screen name which will take you to your profile page. Hit "User CP" and then "your profile." Open "edit your details" and you can input your info there.

Because there's no reason to force members to post personal information they don't want to post. This subject thread pops up periodically, and the site has not decided to make people input their location.
