  1. Default Location--error message, location not recognized.


    I've an end unit townhouse. When I try to type in my home address, the correct address comes up in the list based on the house number, but I get the error message: "location not recognized, select another location." When I look at the map, my neighboring townhouses are all shown in their correct locations, but my house number is floating off in the parking lot, not associated with a building.See 2420 Cloudcroft Sq, Reston, VA.

    FS/FT Thread title location

    One more suggestion for B/S/T forum is the inclusion of a location made mandatory.
    I know it's already possible, but there's a limited choice in locations, and not many people use it, assuming that because they're in the US, they don't need to.
    The problem from this comes when they state quite clearly (although sometimes not clearly at all), they only ship to the US.
    Making location mandatory in the thread title would save a bit of time and hassle, and would make searching the forum easier.

    A suggestion for this: use the poster's location, if they've added a correct location, as the default.

    It's not like it's an issue of privacy, the poster will tell where they're from within the post in a round-about way.

    Not a big suggestion, but I thought I'd throw it in there.
