    Would it be possible to ........

    Add "Location" back into the username info? I really don't think the member rank needs to be posted twice, one inch apart. Maybe replace one with location? It is often valuable to know what country, climate (cold or warm), or if the boat is used in saltwater, when diagnosing a boat, motor, or...
