I suggest to enable searching for members by Location to allow developers to get in contact with their civilians, colleague friends, find jobs , etc.

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

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

I am looking forward to that update, I am intrested in the story  .
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

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

Actually I'm in Canada. Read my bio closer

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

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

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.

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?

For the last week at least, possibly longer, intermittently when I'm reading the lounge and commonly after making a post, when it refreshes the posts are chopped off in the middle, instead of getting a nice long list and a scroll bar I get a very short list and no scroll bar. Sometimes I see a fragment of html code at the top above the posts. I'm using IE7
I reported this when I first noticed it here then thought it was just a case of hitting the page while someone was updating the source for it or working on it in some way but it's happening very regularly now.
Again, I'd be happy to take a screenshot however there's no way to attach them that I'm privvy to.

That sounds like the connection is breaking or the server is resetting during download. I've been updating things furiously these last few days (well, couple of weeks) so you may have either bad timing, bad luck or a bad router.

Just did it 2 minutes ago and again 1 minute ago with a completely fresh page load. Note that all the non message part of the page is all formed perfectly well other than the rare times it shows a bit of html. 99% of the time when it happens the border around the messages is complete, the whole page is complete, there's just very few messages showing and the area below the messages for navigation and showing the last visit time etc is missing completely, just a square outline around the messages.
I wonder if it's an issue with getting my user record settings for number of messages to display and for last visit etc.
