New: Distance in profile

In my quest for how much I can procrastinate in a single day, I got side-tracked and added a distance value to your post profile based on your coordinates.

When browsing posts on the forum now, you'll see a new line under "Location:" called "Distance:"
That is the distance from you to that member.

If you don't see it, then that member hasn't entered their coordinates in their profile. Or the coordinates aren't in decimal format.

If you don't see anyone's distance, then you haven't entered your coordinates correctly. ie. decimal format.

And you thought you wouldn't get anything on the 2000 member occasion

Hi Matt, I noticed that as well although It may be as the proverbial crow flies not as the Ute travels .
Still it's only down the road as they say.

Congrats as well, I see you have passed 3000 posts.

Cheers

That would be my intentional lack of precision in my location

No matter how far it says we are from each other, the furtherest you can ever get away from someone else on Earth is only half way around the Earth
