| Hi there,
It would be great if the country of a user could be displayed in the forum's
message lists - along with the other user information like feedback, etc. Especially
in the "Sales" forum you could then quickly deduce whether the offer might be
interesting for you or not.
As an example I'm from Germany, but many offers are from the US which are
usually not interesting to me due to high shipping costs.
Best regards
Daniel

The rectangle in the upper right corner of every post has the users country,
feedback, whether the store ships to you, and so on.

Yes, that's true. But I have to click on every offer just to see that it
is in a far away country. If the country was indicated directly in the message
list I could just pick the few that might be of interest, e.g. only offers of
German or European sellers in my case.
It's also true that some of them might not ship to me, but I can already
"filter out a lot of noise".

I agree a country might be useful, but any more information such as feedback
and the title of the post will just become too long.
Plus any seller is welcome to add their country already if they want to. When
I used to post sales, I often put UK in the title for this reason.

Yes but even though you and I might be inclined to include the country of origin
in title so as to ensure we focus on the right audience so many don't bother
and how many times have you clicked into a generic topic/issue that has no relevance
and is limited to another country the other side of the world?

Yes but by that point he's already had to click into many forum posts that
may not otherwise be of any interest to him which I think is what he's trying
to say. For instance he may be insterested in deals or other regional issues/topics
posted by someone from his own country but not interested in clicking into topics
concerning deals/matters that are isolated to other parts of the world!
With that in mind it would be a worthy addition though unless it only involves
a quick adjustemnt I can't see BL spending any amount of time/work fixing
up what is already an outdated forum? but I share the OPs reasoning and I would
also like to see country flags alongside every order in my Order lists. Perhaps
there is already an option though I've not been able to find one?

Thanks for hinting that. I haven't seen this yet (honestly I haven't
used the forum much yet). But I would only consider this a "workaround" as it
"blows up" the page.
