Forum Member "General Location" Idea

[Starburst]

I definetely think that if you did do city and state to put an option of having it available only to Daycare.com members. I think the threads should also have an option when it is only availalbe to daycare.com members too because some times some of the providers have problems with particular families and are afraid that the parents may see their post and beable to identify them by their location and familiarities in the story.

Another thing you can do is do county and state

The "Off Topic" section is members only.

I like the social group idea. While I don't necessarily mind members knowing where I am from, I don't like the idea of it being associated with every post I make.

I'm not sure how accurate the whole IP address location thing is - every time I look up mine it shows I'm in Naperville, which isn't really close to me.

Another idea on city/state is creating a State social group that is private and by invitation only. If I see someone is from New York, I can send them an invite to that state's social group where they can meet other providers from their state if they choose to accept the invite.

I like both these ideas. I wouldn't want city, but I think county is fine.

That's a great idea!

I prefer state only. But would rather just have country.

I'm ok with putting my province but I'd rather not go any further than that.

EDIT to add that I know how to put my location on and have, up to this point chosen not to.

I like this idea also

I have found people in my general state/area just by how they write sometimes about things going on in the state/area or how they word it.

I have just pm'd them and we end up talking that way.

I think even if its in a members only section there would still need to be some sort of big trust between the providers.

I like this idea alot too, but would rather remain an anonymous poster due to lurking parents and my small community. Maybe state would be fine though.

I like this idea because it gives us some anonymity from outside sources. When I go on the occasional rant, I don't necessarily want everyone from the outside to know it is me.

I like the idea too. Tea drinker here too Michael....sometimes organic turbinado sugar (I know it's still sugar) or honey.

Well we could go more general then that and put Planet Earth.

I think it would be great if only members could see that information, same with profile photos. I had all of those things listed at one time but realized that there are some things I might not want a parent to read because they could take it the wrong way.
