Attempting to change my Grid Square...

[NewsTips]

I think I got my location changed

I have no idea what you are talking about. Can you explain any further?

I suspect that the TS was trying to use their "grid square" as their location while XenForo is looking to parse a zip (or postal?) code.

"Grid square" is an alternative method of expressing an Earth-bound location versus zip code or latitude and longitude. Grid square is typically more precise than zip code but a little less precise than latitude and longitude. The theory goes that your grid square is much easier to memorize and recite than your latitude and longitude.

Interesting, thanks for the info !

I would have thought he was referring to latitude and longitude as well.

It still shows my grid square as EM84tx. This is my old location. If it is something that I entered forever ago, I cant seem to find it in order to change it.

As far as I know Xenforo does not use Grid Squares.

He is just wanting to change his user title to reflect his grid square.
