Step 1: memcp.php

Find

if ($action == 'profile') {


Add Code Below

    // Hack: Minimum Posts to Add a Location
    define('MIN_POSTS_TO_ADD_LOC',  1);
    $location = '';
    $disableloc = (intval($self['postnum']) < MIN_POSTS_TO_ADD_LOC) ? 'style="display:none;"' : '';


Find

        $location = postedVar('newlocation', 'javascript', TRUE, TRUE, TRUE);


Replace with

        if (0 == strlen($disableloc)) $location = postedVar('newlocation', 'javascript', TRUE, TRUE, TRUE);


Step 2: Template memcp_profile

Find

<tr class="tablerow">
<td bgcolor="$altbg1" width="22%">$lang[textlocation]</td>


Replace with

<tr class="tablerow" $disableloc>
<td bgcolor="$altbg1" width="22%">$lang[textlocation]</td>
