Viewing a users location in market place..

Tboy · Jun 9, 2020

I saw this and wanted to respond but didn’t want to hijack a WTS add with tech q/a.

A typical thread is a wts add and the next line is someone asking where are they located. I’ve done it too. From PC’s, Macs iPads etc. it shows up right there next to the user name.

In the referenced thread below thperez mentions how to view it while viewing from tapatalk. But that doesn’t work using an iPhone with Safari.

Viewing on an iPhone I have to tap the 4 lines to the right of the *User Info Menu*

Before

After

Maybe this will help someone else before they ask for a location. But prolly not.

Yep, always a good idea to list location in a for sale thread, even if you add your location to your avatar, which not everyone does. So I’m thinking the lines by user menu may not always contain that information.

On an iPhone, I turn the phone sideways and I see it.

Very interesting.

From that, I would guess iPhone or iOS differences. Maybe my forum settings.

For a while I was thinking people were just ignoring the info next to the user ID (and that may still be the case) but then I couldn’t see it from my phone.

I’m also using chrome for iOS. It runs safari under the hood but maybe it shows things differently than safari itself. I’m pretty sure I checked that before and it didn’t but I can’t be sure.

There was talk of creating a template but it was never done. At least not yet. There may be a software upgrade in the near future and a template could be implemented then.

Yeah I got asked for my location in an marketplace post and I just added it by editing the post. I figured the same thing was happening on a phone or different device than a regular pc. I just put it in the post now most of the time if I think about it.
