    Can we search members by location - City or State or country?

    I couldn't find a way to filter the member list by location - is this a feature that's available?
    It could be handy knowing if someone is located relatively close by.
    To display the member list by zip code or city and state (or country) would be nice.

    How many members are located in or near Chicago IL for example.

    To be able to do this could be helpful. Perhaps be able to opt out of being searchable could be an option in your profile.

    The software we use doesn't support this feature and some Members prefer not to share their location. A Member may volunteer their information but we have promised not to do so.

    Most members have their city and state in their profile and it shows in their posts. That information is already shared, all we need is to be able to search on that field.

    I share my location info, but I would not feel comfortable if people were able to search based upon that info... if such a feature is ever added, I will strip the info out.

    George,

    The software we use doesn't support this feature, there isn't a means of searching Member location.
