Shopsmith Forums

I’m curious to know who and how close members are too me? In Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey.
I’m in the Northeastern corner of Pennsylvania (Honesdale, Wayne County).

I too am sometimes curious about fellow members and who might be close to me. Not everyone includes their location in their profile, which right away would be helpful. Another way which would be helpful is if the website's "Members" link included their locations AND if it was sortable, like it is by user name, rank, posts, date joined, etc. Depending on which Board Preference you use, the fields available are slightly different, but I checked them all and none yield any results when you try to search by location. This is what the screen looks like for the shopsmith board preference which I use:

What Board Preference are you using. I am unable to replicate the members page that you show here.

I have the same list of Usernames (but without Rank) and in the "Website, Location" column I have only Website.

Dusty,

I use the Shopsmith Board Preference. I sorted it by "Posts" before I took the screen shot. When I tried the other three Board Preferences, I got results as you described using your Board Preference ... different fields in some cases. In one case, some websites were shown, but I didn't check to see if all were.

Thank you for the timely response.

The differences are of no consequence (at least to me) but I am sorta curious why (regardless of which Board one uses) some fields would contain different information.

I am happy to see to after I sent a message to the webmaster about the locations of members not being visible, that locations are now visible. In order to see the list of members, you must be logged in. I did not check the other 3 Board Preferences, but for the Shopsmith Board Preference which I use, locations are now shown exactly the same way that members list their location on their profile. The only drawback is that results are not sortable by location, like they are for other fields such as rank, user name, posts, and date joined. It may take a little scrolling, but at least now anyone interested can search for members near themselves. Thank you webmaster!

Hey SkullsquadronX,
