If you click on your location on your profile does it show you other members from that location too?

Not others location. Good luck in finding the same country! Though the US is likely to show up 90% of the time if you look randomly at profiles.

@DeWayfarer you know if you click a group it groups all the posts in that category.
It doesn't do that does it?
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Mellowgirl not on location. The catagorization of groups and posts is a recent thing and they had been working on that for a long time. Still are in fact.

They would never do that on location. Hasn't even been considered.

@DeWayfarer it's weird that you can't though because that in itself is a group.
Surely it's a valuable and valid request. Much like going to people and seeing all the people logged in

@Mellowgirl no it's not a valued thing. 😆

There's a problem as is with stalking. Why make it easy?! 🙃😈😆

@DeWayfarer why do people automatically think of the negatives. There are a few people here that live in nz I'm sure if they were open to it they may want to know another nz person.
It's not about stalking it's about familiarity.

@Mellowgirl you have to consider this sites user population is between 90% and 99% US citizens. And most US citizens are concerned not only about stalking yet also privacy as a whole.

That would be like forcing everyone to use their names as usernames like on Facebook. This site considers itself to be an "anonymous" site so all of that is only on individual profiles if at all.

And why all that information including country can be hiden, even including genders.
Mellowgirl · 31-35, F
@DeWayfarer then why include your countries location? You don't have to.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Mellowgirl some do, some actually don't. Some even don't realize it's showing. The choice is available to hide it and some don't even know it! 🤷‍♂️
Mellowgirl · 31-35, F
@DeWayfarer as could the choice be to find others in your location ...
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Mellowgirl true yet still don't want to make it easy for stalkers.

Try doing a post search on a none group name subject. You'll see even that post search is limited unless you use very unique words.

That also is to prevent stalking.

@DeWayfarer ill ask the Admins and see if they think stalking is a factor.
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Mellowgirl go ahead, in fact I'll tag them right here so they can see this conversation! 😊

@SW-Admin

@DeWayfarer are you OK?
DeWayfarer · 61-69, M
@Mellowgirl I'm fine, yet your correct. This issue will only be resolved if they know about the situation. 🤷‍♂️

When you wish to resolve an issue, ask. Which I had just done! 😊

It effects everyone on this site.
