How to get location and Zone to show in posts
a. Click on "
PROFILE" in the bar above.
b. On the left, under "Modify Profile" click "
FORUM PROFILE INFORMATION."
c. Put your location & zone information into "
PERSONAL TEXT" field (not "LOCATION"! I know that makes no sense).
.....an example might be "Austin, TX, Zone 8b"
d. Then (Important!) click on "
CHANGE PROFILE" at the bottom right.
Here is another excellent description of the process with some good pictures, but the pictures omit the steps between "FORUM PROFILE INFORMATION" and "CHANGE PROFILE"
