Yes, that's definitely a problem ... a fix has been proposed, but not yet programmed.

The proposed fix would involve displaying the local forum(s) that correspond to the location in a user's profile - ie. a user who lists their location, say as Wyomissing, PA would see the Pennsylvania local on the front page.

The challenging part is determining how to read and parse the Location field, since it's a "free form" field and folks can enter their location in various different ways, and how to display the correct forum(s) on the fly in an efficient manner.

Thank you for your comments ... greatly appreciated
