Is it me.....
Too many people don't put their location in their profile, I get confused especially with it being an international forum is their any chance we can add it in the how to join bit?
I have found myself looking through people previous posts to try to figure out where people are

Point taken
But it makes more sense to others in Scotland where , for such a small country we can have very different weather in the Highlands or central Lowlands, Aberdeenshire or Lochaber.

It would help, but some people do appreciate the option to stay totally anonymous if they want to be. If we started to make people tell us their location then this right would go. Are you suggesting that it stays up to the user to put their location (or not) but we suggest that they do tell us?

Yes Andy absolutley... if someone chooses to remain totally anonymus that is fine by me. It is more a matter of discusing for example... that you have just harvested tomatoes.. I think "oh crap mine are only 3 inches tall " then I realise that the person is in Tanzania. (this didn't actually happen btw it is just an example)

What you grow
When you plant/ harvest
Grants/ subsidies/ tax
Language (I mean English in UK/NZ/USA can have different meanings for words)
Weather patterns
pests and diseases
I think it should be optional but advised

I suppose there's not a lot we can do about it but if someone asks a question, say on growing something specific, it would be perfectly valid to ask them where they are located.
I do find that most people have given their location on this forum though - and if they haven't they may well have mentioned where they are in their 'welcome' posting (if they made one).

I put my complete location as such so that people will understand if I put in a post about what I am growing or doing at this time of year. I think I will edit it to also include my growing climate that maybe helpful to. Especially if anyone from another country is planning a trip out here
