Location...?

Hi,
On most people's "Location" field I saw some more info that just the country they live in. That little description is always displayed before their actual country. I wanted to know how it's possible to add on that extra field of text.
If anyone out here knows how to do that, please tell me!

Re: Location...?

click on that and then start typing


Dear Scratch Users,
I'm done with scratch, or at least making projects. I have made one last big game, thats both fun and teaches a lesson about water. It'd mean a lot if you gave me feedback.                              http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/bosox397/569201

Re: Location...?

Yeah, it does. But when I click it, it jumps down and turns into a "multiple choice" list with all countries on it.

Re: Location...?

Did you fill in the "City" field when registering? That's the thing you're looking for.

Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>

Re: Location...?

Ah... I didn't fill in "city"...
Thanks for telling me anyway. So without the city field I can't do that... That's OK, I'll go and cry in the corner now.

Re: Location...?

Yeah. I think you should be able to add the city thing in even if you didn't put it in when you registered.

Re: Location...?

I registered a test account and didn't fill in the "city" field...

It's true, I can't see it on my profile page now... If you really need it you can contact the Scratch Team.  smile
