Please require people who sign up for new accounts to fill in the LOCATION field.
In other words, make it a "required" field (should be a simple change).
Dozens and dozens of times, I am trying to help someone with a problem like " I have a problem with ABC " and I have to reply "what is your location".
Scott recently made an L615 report thread, but there is huge variation depending on the location of the viewer, i.e. which HD locals they receive.
We can respect people's privacy by allowing them to enter anything in the Location field ( " North Pole " ), but I think that most newbies will fill in the field accurately.
At this point, I cannot think of any other change to the site that is so small, yet will help many people.
