It's a good idea, but not everyone will feel comfortable with showing a more precise location. Maybe if people included a country / state / county it might give a better idea of the user's vague location. 

 

My location (NSW Australia which covers 809,000 square metres, compared to 243,000 for the UK) is clear enough for being on a UK based forum, but wouldn't mean much on an Aussie one...

yes but it does not show. that is to say the country bit. as we can see Timmy above has put it all in his location section, but the rest of us that have filled in the country bit don't show a thing.

so it will be there in the board settings somewhere.

If someone chooses to disclose their country as well as town/city beneath their avatar then they can do so with the 'Location' field.

All of the information from your profile is not displayed beneath your avatar; that's what the profile page is for.
