The moderator urges you to read this!

[Richard Madison]

Here's a chance to urge that your Profile Location include a city or town.

This member is looking to connect with nearby Pagoda owners. A search of the Member List will show  members in Illinois but some will have no location listed. Illinois, like all US states, is a big place. An owner at one end of a state may not be convenient to someone at the other end.

The person looking to arrange an event, have an car inspected, or to visit and see other cars would have to contact the Illinois members to see where they are located. If the location were included it would make get-togethers a lot easier to arrange.

We recently sent out details on an event in the NY metro area. We found several NY and NJ members with no location indicated. The notice was not sent to these members. Sending to all NY and NJ members would have been a bigger job and would have disturbed distant NY and NJ members with no interest in a NY Metro area event.

Please add a local place, a town or city, to your Profile Location especially in the USA and Canada.

Also, some of the e-mail addresses in the Profiles are not valid. Sent some messages to members here and they came back as undeliverable.  Please update your e-mail address.


Thanks,

Richard M, NYC, Moderator

Good advice Richard... so good in fact, I embellished it and created it it's own topic!

Just checked my own profile, and the city is there, as you suggest.

However, the local time given is wrong.  Apparently the site hasn't yet adjusted to Daylight Savings Time.

I concur, Richard and Peter.

I can tell you for certain one of the great pleasures of working on the Pagoda book is the personal connections--which includes overseas phone calls as well as domestic--to our contributors.  Our contributors are members like you and me.  When you get a real name, a real location, and actually speak with people, a whole new world opens up with friendship and camaraderie.

I already have two distinct invitations to stay in overseas locations, unsolicited, just from the friendships that have ensued.

It can all start when we know a real name and certainly a city/state/country!!!

The recommended layout is Country, State (or Province), City... with proper capitalisation. This is better for sorting / searching the membership list. If you become a Full Member, or provide the address details on the Profile tab, this will be done automatically.
