If only everybody entered a valid location in the "from:" field...good idea though!

Very nice idea... That's really cool for those that actually put a real location in.

I have the same idea it to my country flags mod... so if you click on the members flag and they have filled in some details in their profile it open the map...
It wont work for everyone... your profile says Where no man has gone before, and highways is something similar lol

[Handyman]

your profile says Where no man has gone before

Exactly because I'm a race car

[Semi_Deus]

its should be easy then to add something like.
if location > go there
if no location > go to index.php

or something like that..

[Michaelo]

A race car.... now that's handy... I'm a fish looking at the world from my bowl but the bowl is really a intergalactic transporter
