if some user just put in the location field: "my home, hahaha"
The link in the member card will be a link inviting to abandon the forum and visit google maps and see:
https://www.google.com/maps/search/my+home+hahahaha/@31.755702,-95.740118,5z/data=!3m1!4b1
myhome.webp
I think is really useless, would be great at least make it optional.
now is hard get rid that href in a simple way. seem is necessary 1 addon to remove that href.
Would be great make it easy.
Thanks.

here a provisional solution, thanks @Optic and Chris D
I'm currently using this CSS that @Chris D posted here:
https://xenforo.com/community/threads/content-without-template.81697/#post-816392
Seems to work well. :) Add this to EXTRA.CSS:
Code:
.userBlurb a.concealed
{
pointer-events: none;
}

This suggestion has been implemented. Votes are no longer accepted.
It's fluff I'd like to see optional. As location can influence the advice given on our forums we have location as a required filed on registration now & encourage legacy members to update their profiles. Some folks legit descriptions point to company locations with same/similar name. There are also some folk that don't understand that it's a simple link based on the location typed & not something more sinister like personal data sharing. Believe me - I've had the conversation!
 
I believe we implemented this a while ago. I think roughly around the time of our GDPR compliant releases, so approximately a year ago.

You simply empty the maps URL field in the "External service providers" option group.
