Member location

I was wondering if it would be worthwhile to be able to view or search for members by location. I just now found that another member is only 45 minutes from my house. It was sheer luck that he replied to one of my posts or I would have never known it. It would be very time consuming to go through each members name to find those that are nearby. Anybody have any thoughts??

This is a very good idea!

A month or so ago, I was curious if anybody was near me...had to do just as you mentioned, go through every member one at a time. I only checked the newest members, otherwise I would have been at it a very long time. Sure enough I found a couple with driving distance that otherwise would not have discovered.

You can look at the member profiles to determine the location, assuming they wanted to add it at the time they registered.

I've considered building a workaround to the script to allow various search types on the data, but it's another project that is down on my to-do list. There's just so few hours in the day any more.

What about just adding a "sort by location" button in the members listing? Perhaps sorting by state or country for those overseas. With all of the members we have, and those I would expect to join as advertising is increased, I think this could be beneficial for most of us, in particular us newbies that are always looking for instruction. I understand about lack of time, but you make it sound like you are actually getting an opportunity to sleep at night
