Help with the "search" feature on this board.

Post by !!!ALEXANDER »

When attempting to search for "local to me" members, all I seem to be able to do is get them listed from one end of the search criteria or the other, but not specifically where they are!

If I want to find someone in, say Los Angeles, I can only skip the first 3 or 4 pages of 339 pages, and if the "L's" are on page 200, it would take me all night, jumping page to page to even get close, and so far I gave up before I even got past the ones not listing a location as it was taking too d*** long!

Is there some way to make the search a little easier to find local Squirters, or am I missing something simple (seriously a real possibility)?

How are you accomplishing this search? When I go to the Memberlist or the Search page, I get no such option.

Sounds like he's going to 'memberlist', selecting in the sort by 'location', then browsing to the location he wants...

I do have one thing that might help in the short term, though:

Use this URL
http://www.msefi.com/memberlist.php?mod ... SC&start=1

Then modify the '&start=1' to start you at whatever user number you want. That'll let you skip way ahead much faster than just clicking page to page.

For reference, there are 11,996 users. LA looks like it's around 8950 or so.

LOTS of blanks filling out the top portion.

Thank you, I messed with it a while and once I figured it was by the numbers of members and not pages, it works for me!
