Copied and pasted from an e-mail I sent to John:
I would highly recommend in the registration separating "Location" as another option alongside Biography. This would then allow you to have an option to display location under the username in each post just like UBB; all of my users love this feature because it really allows them to get a flair for the diversity of each board immediately... indeed, I consider this an essential feature to really have at least as an option and splitting Location from Biography right now before too many people have converted their UBB userbase and lost that info would be the best thing to do ASAP...
Also "Use E-mail Notification?" in registration is extremely vague; I don't even know what it means.. is it for e-mail to notify you of responses to your posts? If so two things: a) that should be clear b) it should be OFF by default since I think most users don't want it and it's a huge load on our servers to be sending out e-mails everytime a post is made to the thousands of people who could have responses to something they wrote throughout the day..
