#18 Profile form is United States centric

[John McCaughey]

Profile form is United States centric. Field labels
should accomodate other nations' address conventions.
Suggestion from helpful user follows:

I'm testing WebHuddle (it looks great!) but had some
difficulty registering.
I live in Canada, and don't have a 5 digit zip code.
Your registration form
rejected my postal code so I had to invent one.

This drives non-Americans crazy.

Even the variable label shows that you're only thinking
about people in the
U.S. Jakob Neilsen, the usability guy, says, "it's
better to refer to
"postal code/ZIP code" instead of just ZIP code, which
is a U.S.-only term."

The signup form has been stripped of this and several other
fields. Now it's just name, email and country, I think.
