Can I connect to my Neighbors

There are privacy issues involved that make this difficult.

Sorry, It seems I did not express myself well I do not want private info Just searching by location to find all persons from my country No more ... I can easly know the location of every one while reading his article or message by clicking on his name, (e.g. you are from Canada) which means that this info is not secret And few months ago you was enabling searching by member name So, What is the problem in enabling searching by location

You originally said you wanted this to connect with people in your area. Now you're just curious? Yes, we list our country, but privacy laws protect HOW this data is accessed.

Does it matter what I write here? Someone just has to say something about it.

I was surprised that you are neither a system admin nor a site builder to answer my question. Also, I was surprised by your Biography :confused: However, I still waiting for a reasonable reply from Mr. Chris Maunder

Leckey is an active member of this site, and well respected by many. She has a sharp mind on her, and I'd be surprised (very surprised) if Chris' opinion was wildly different.

I know quite a bit of law. My bio will be updated. It's a looooong story.

I don't think he meant harm; my bio would be confusing for those who didn't see the Lounge collapse upon itself. :-D But I always like the nice comments!

I am looking forward to that update, I am intrested in the story :laugh: . By the way, this discussion may be a sample of the implementation of my suggestion above. The concept is: Programming is one common thing among all CP's members One more thing may be the location I am not insesting on implementing my suggestion, I just explain my idea. However, thanks to all

I hardly believe she was referring to you. ;P

There's the Meetings and Get-Togethers[^] forum. Ask for a get-together there and if people want to see you in the flesh, you can organize something locally.

Then you will return a list many hundreds of thousands long. I'm not convinced this will be of value.

you are from Canada

Actually I'm in Canada. Read my bio closer ;)

Search by name returns a small set. By country returns a large set.

For some countries, you might get thousands of pages. Many of those id's are either invalid, multiple, out-dated or abandoned. It's not that I think that a search by country, by date and activity wouldn't be good. But it also creates an opportunity for others to screw around with that information, if you know what I mean. What I would do is bookmark those active members that have similar interests to yours and then create a thread on the meetings board if you'd like to organize something formal with them. Personally, I have a list of people in my general area that I'd like to connect with at some point. No names, addresses, phone numbers or emails, just id's that I can contact and see what the response is.

Wouldn't it thin the line of demarcation between a technical discussion forum website and a social networking website? :rolleyes:

I am afraid, then the CP design team should also take into account the local laws of state regarding user privacy.
