Is there a way to show members location next to their postings?

Do you mean GEO Locations or just some text?

The location people fill in when they register. So it should be come from their profile.
Ideally the location is only displayed when the location field is filled in, else not.

Ooh I see, there is no standard function for, you need some small plugin/function to pull this data from the database.

There is no easy way you need to write some PHP function. Do you need this so much to "invest" so much in this function?

In all my ignorance I thought this was rather easy to accomplish since the location is displayed on the members profile page by default.

There is one function used to show all profile information, there is no single variable.
The only way to manipulate the profile information (switch on/off fields) is described here:

(but this will not help to solve your problem)

Just an update: I managed to get the location of the member next to the posting area by adding below code into post.php
```
<?php
  $puser = bb_get_user( get_post_author_id() );
  if ( isset( $puser->from ) ) {
    echo $puser->from;
  }
?>
```
