Remove Location

Does anyone know a way to remove your city/state information from below your name on your public profile?
I find it annoying, and don't want that information displayed. Thank you in advance!

I didn't find the answer in previous discussions after searching, sorry if this was already addressed.

Your city is anything you want to type in, try using "nowhere". -W

Or, if you don't like that...try making up something funny, like:
"Lostin, Artworld" or "Rabbit Hole, Wonderland."

Thank you Wingsdomain and Cheryl, I appreciate the suggestions!

Hmm, I tried entering something else, for the city, thinking it would only effect the profile, but then I checked and it removed my address from the payment information too.

Maybe there is no way around this . . . wish there was a simple "display location" yes or no option!

The pull that from you account information. Change it there and it should go away. I think you can leave it blank.

I would be careful leaving something "cleaver". Not everyone has a good sense of humor. If you can not leave it blank. Just us initials.

I often put FS for name and SM for city and CA for state and a telephone number that states out with 555.

You don't need your address in the payment information if you are being paid via PayPal

Thank you Floyd! Good advice on the name choosing. I am currently paid by check, so that was the problem with abbreviating or changing the address.

Does Paypal assess fees for FAA payments?

Just thought, it may be a benefit to have at least the city there in case someone come down with a sudden case of "buy locally". Just a thought. Anyone searching on the community page can sort by local first.

No fees on your payment from PayPal. And FAA pays like a clock. 33 or 34 checks, never a day late.

Wonderful, thank you so much for the helpful information, Floyd. I will probably switch to Paypal and then see about updating my location. It will be nice to get paid faster anyway!

I have the same issue, Nicole. I get checks in the mail (and I like it like that) and I live in a small town. I've tried changing my local to the larger nearby town, but I can't.
I agree with you, I'd prefer not to have that there, either. I don't see how my specific location pertains to anything except where to mail the check.

Hi Melany! Thanks for sharing that you feel the same way! I may see if I can email a suggestion to make that optional, or customizable. Like you indicated, it would be nice if a larger, nearby town can be used. Honestly I feel that is part of our personal information, and I would like to have the choice to display it or not.

 

I don't see how a member's city/address can be optional if you are still getting paid by check, they have to mail the check to somewhere, usa. And I doubt faa is in the mindset to change any mailing options for checks, they have been for awhile trying vigorously to encourage members away from checks and onto paypal. I'm surprise you or anyone is still getting paid by check. I was being paid by check up until about a year or two ago when one of my check was lost intransit. It took a lot of back and forth in a period of about a month before I was able to have faa rewrite that check. I then opted to change over to paypal which now I use for other areas of my business including sending out invoices which is a great feature. Go paypal, then change your city to "San Francisco Bay Area Museum Quality Prints" like I did (the San Francisco part is optional). -W

My Payment Information page says "Please note - Pixels.com no longer sends out payments via check." so Paypal seems to be the only option now.

You can't leave the 'City' field blank in the contact information, but you can change it to anything you like.

You would have to belive your name is far more personel than a city name.....change your personel name to a business name problem solved. That can be arranged also keep in mind when you upload your photos you can put your city as a keyword word search keep that in mind an a buyer may not know your last name but the type a city, your chances of being found in the search may help you. Your location does help you.
Welcome and wonderful gallery best of success

Wings, I just don't think my town is relevant and doesn't need to be displayed under my name.
I considered changing my FAA name to the one on my website, melanysart.com , but that would open a whole 'nother can of worms.

On our AW we have the choice.

 

Melany, I have no opinion either way in regards to having the option for artists to display the location or not. I just don't think using the "want to continue to be paid by check but without having my location shown" angle will help the argument to faa, it will likely only give them reason to continue to not have that option. -W

FAA absolutely should give members the option of leaving their location OFF the public pages. I understand why the correct city must be entered behind the scenes in order to receive a check but that doesn't mean it also should be plastered on the profile page. The considerate thing would be to allow us to decide whether or not we want the world to know where we live.

You may wish to list your metropolitan area, or even state, instead of you local village, town, or city.

Has anyone pit this in the "wish" list already?

Oh BTW..."bump"

Hi Melany, I haven't done anything with this, but think it should be added. Where is the "wish" list?
