Hello @wookasz!

Under your Community Hub username at the moment it says ''Mont Blanc''. This is due to our Community member ranks!

Every athlete in the community has a rank based on their contributions and ranks are named after prominent peaks of the world. Therefore, this doesn't mark your physical location, but rather the rank you are currently holding in the Community Hub. Hope this helps 🙂

Hi @wookasz thank you for highlighting the confusion around this UI element. We took this feedback and made an improvement to the Profile page by adding hover text to the rank title that appears under a Community Username. This will now display on both your own Profile page when you hover over the rank title or if you visit another member's Profile Page. We hope this helps anyone with the same question about what this represents. 



Thank you for taking the time to give us this feedback and we hope this is helpful. 

Does anyone know how to change the location? Below my name comes the “Mont Blanc” location, which seems by default as I see in several other participants the same location. I tried to change in the profile and settings but I see nowhere where to amend this.

Thanks for asking this question. Did the information in this post help answer this for you or can we help with any further questions on this?

I agree this is very confusing and annoying to see a location and not have it explicitly state that it is a community ranking. If Strava wants to leave a community ranking then it should display "community rank" in a field above or below the location. Right now it does look like the person's location.

Additionally, without any explanation of what each peak means there's no relative information. I didn't know where Mont Blanc was and I don't know how it stacks up against other peaks that may be in the community ranking, so the system feels completely arbitrary.

Often rankings are included to gamify these types of communities so that people participate more. Without having a key to understanding the ranking system no one will know what to do with their rank or know how many more points or posts they need to get to the next rank if that's something they are interested in.

A hover feature is not effective on a mobile device.
