It's not really a problem (OCD strikes again ;)) but I still wonder why some user's "Location" in this forum are displayed with a colon and a space and others (like mine) are not.

Is there a logic behind it?

I suspect those with a colon/space have added it in front of their location--unless the forum software is fixed and new entries are working properly.

Edit, yep. takes a colon/space still.

The lack of a ": " is a software bug in the forum software (which is not a Serif product). If it bothers you for your location (as it does some users), just put in the ": " yourself.

Someday, of course, if that bug is ever fixed, you'll end up with "Location: : Otrava, CZE" and you'll have to go in again and remove the extraneous ": ".

No, the bug is still there.

I suspected that too. :|

I hope it will get eventually fixed - it's really a small detail but it should be quite easy to add those characters to a template...

I find it quite funny that you came up with a classic Czech joke or typo: the city's name is "Ostrava" (probably derived from "sharp water") while "otrava" means "poisoning". :)

Although I urged the repair again, still nothing.

 

Given the visibility of this bug and the ease of fixing it, it's really sad and bad business card for Serif.
