Member Search feature...

Oostburg, WI(Zone 5b)

Dave, this popped into my head because I need to find DGers. DH went back to longhaul trucking and I'm with him most of the time. We're headed to FL tmr and I wanted to find DGers in the area. Is there a way to put in the name of a town and get the names of subscribers within a certain mile radius? I'd like to do a search when we stop at night and give a someone a jingle or invite someone to the truck stop for 'a cuppa joe' or whatever. :)

On the 'load' board that we use, we put in the name of the town we want to leave from or arrive at and the number of miles radius we want to look for a load. Then we adjust the miles if necessary, etc. Could we do a subscriber search like that? or is there one already available that I don't know about? Thanks!

Dave,

I too would like to see the search function expanded for members and photos. Is it possible to make it so we can click on the members name in a thread and see an option to go to their photo?

Thanks,

Maggie, that's exactly what happens now if you click on a member's name in a thread--it takes you to their member page and if they have a picture of themselves, it'll be on that page. Not all members have pictures of themselves, maybe that's why you haven't noticed it before.

If you click on the Member List, then choose a State, you can then click on "Locale" and it will sort all the cities in alpha order :)

Yes, I've done that but if I'm in an unfamiliar state, it would be easiest if I could enter a city and find DGers within a 25-30 etc. mile radius.

In the absence of a better fix, what you could do temporarily is change your own location to whatever city you're in, then use the feature to find people who are near you.

Definitely a thought. Thanks!
