Hi boRg.
 
It seems like you´re using the same variable (or is it called a Dimm, I never learn to understand this ASP stuff LOL) for Location on several places under the user profile.
 
Location - as in where you´re living.
 
But the same Location is also used in the Online Location (ie.. Online Location: Viewing thread blablabla)
This makes it a bit hard to translate Location, as it means different things in danish (and probably also many other languages). I would prefere one of them is Country/City and the other may be Location.
This is actually what I think was the idea with it.. Could be wrong though.
 
I wonder why noone else spotted this one. I guess forum admins never watch user profiles Wink
 
Ps.. using 9.06 now.

Hmm.. another small problem..
Homepage: in the userprofile.. If a user do not enter http:// in their profile, the link will not work.
 
So actually it should be URL and not Homepage.
I would however prefere to add a text to the line telling the user to remeber to insert the http:// as well. But if I change the text Homepage: in the languagefile (add an text) it will show in the link as well.

the other option is to add a instr() command to check if the url entered begins with http://

else returning error

I fixed the above by using the danish word Lokation. It actually means exactly the same in english.. However, I do think it´s a kinda geek word. Would still prefere Country/City/whatever for psysical location Big%20smile
