    How to search users in my area?

    Is there a way on this forum to search for members in my area (if they filled out location in their profile?)

    Thanks - Steve

    I can't provide the answer you need but I can say that if you eventually find them on your local area network that some of us in North America respectfully refer to that as " The LAN Down Under"

    Have Fun and good Luck!

    There's no convenient way for members to search for the location of other members, as far as I can tell. The search function examines the content of the posts, whereas the member's location is filled in from the member record in a different database table.

    In the past, others have posted a query looking for members in their area to achieve that objective.

    G'day Steve
    My name's Mike and I live down the road from you in Geelong. There are a few other lf users in Melbourne who also use this forum and also APUG. Welcome to the best thing since sliced bread.
