Exclamation Quick work-around for showing your location

Hey all-
I love the new features that the software upgrade has given us, but I really missed knowing where everyone was from. I toyed around a little bit and figured a quick work-around:

1. log-in and click on "user CP"
2. Click on "edit your details"
3. Scroll down to the "City" field and delete your city.
4. On the drop down menu for the state, select the blank space above "AL".
5. Enter your city and state combo in the "Or enter your choice here:" field.
6. Save changes and enjoy!.
Hope this helps!
Michael

Sweet

Looks like you may not have to pick the "empty line above AL" for it to work.
