Ages ago I suggested it would be nice to know where forumites live/are from, partly because it's just interesting to see how widespread our group is, and partly because that might show where particular words are considered common or rare. For those concerned about privacy, it could be just the name of a town/city, or as general as "outside but near Paris."
Quite a few forumites did add their locations, but we have many new people who may not have done so but might like to.
I figured I'd post in this thread in hopes that some of our new forum mates will see it and add their locations under their photos. CB gave some good instructions on how to do it in an earlier post.

To move your location: Click on Profile (dark blue bar above the messages, 4th item in from the left). On the new window, at the left hand side, find Modify Profile. Click on the 2nd entry Forum Profile Information.
To upload a pic: Choose "I will upload my own picture" then use the browse... button to find that picture on your computer. Alternatively, if you want to use one you already have on the web somewhere, use "I have my own pic" and type in the website address of the pic.
Then in Personal Text type in your location information - this will then show under your picture.
Now click Change Profile at the very bottom of the screen so save the changes you have made.
