The custom forum feature should work just as the standard version of RCU. The only difference is that you get to choose which forums will be displayed. Keep in mind, that's forums... not threads. You still would have to go into MyRCU to view your subscribed threads, in which case they would be organized based on when you subscribed to the threads.

Location has always been up to each person on RCU, that hasn't changed. If they want to post their location they may... if not, we don't make them.
