ADMIN: Members Above Inbox are Now From all Over the PlacePage 1 of 3    (1, 2, 3)
Why are the ladies that are displayed in my inbox suddenly from areas that are far from me. I am near Buffalo NY and I have members being displayed from NYC and even different states. I can find no way to change this.
Thanks

based on your zip code usually. Did that chance recently?

Ensure your zip code is set correctly and follow the instructions in this link:

No. My zip is still the same. I now have them showing up from different areas on other pages as well.

Try changing your city to something valid, a known city, rather than an abbreviation.

The abbreviation is a geographical area as I do not wish to confine myself to the town that I live in. It has been this way for as long as I have had this account open and has never been a problem before.

Actually, I am now getting them from all over alberta instead of just Calgary and surrounding area. I have done nothing to any of my settings - the far away ones just started showing up today. Not sure what's up with that!

But something may have changed in the way the site picks who to show you on that line. Have you at least tried changing the city to see if it makes any difference? You can always change it back if it doesn't.

Actually I just checked and re-checked, and NONE of the women appearing above OR below my messages on my inbox page are within 50 miles of me. This is upsetting and needs to be fixed. HELP!

This started happening when they changed the members images to scrolling and the pop up with the cursor rollover. As I have done nothing to my profile and others seem to be echoing similar problems it points to an issue with POF.

I recently finished doing everything the moderators link said to do to 'fix' this problem. It didn't work at all, as I am still not seeing women from my region. Dear POF...fix this annoyance please!

It has to be a site issue. I noticed that happening to me today as well and I know that I have not changed any settings. I am getting people from the opposite end of the state from me. Something has changed with the site settings and not individual settings.

ADMIN: Members Above Inbox are Now From all Over the Place

admin just changed this thread title to the above...


so why exactly? what relevance is it to me that someone 350 miles away just logged in? if i'm interested in profiles of people in far away places then let ME search for them...

that really is a 'if it's not broken, don't fix it" thingie...

Admin didn't change it - I did, so that it's a bit more clear as to the topic, and for Admin to spot it - typically when Admin is making changes on the fly, he may inadvertantly overlook something and hasn't detected it yet.

The sounding board here, will no doubt catch his attention - hence why the thread name change.

Just adding my voice to report that it doesn't appear to be site wide problem - my people are all from my area, the same as before.

I am having the same problem. The only difference seems to be that I "used" to live in Southern California, now that I've moved 300 miles north, and changed my zip and city to reflect that, I am still getting southern california profiles appearing instead of my new area. That's not very fun. This does seem to be a site issue. I've moved before a c0uple times and have never had this issue.

I've got the same problem kapookie...

But the opposite....

I keep getting guys from Dallas, Ft Worth, Abilene and Ft Hood....

I don't mind too much since Dallas guys and soldiers are good looking dudes but I WOULD like to see guys from my area again.

Nothing's changed in my settings, so I think POF, I think its you not me....

Please and thank you.

This problem is also happening to me. Started yesterday. I live in Southern California, and now my inbox members are from northern Cali. This is very frustrating as I am not interested in those members in Northern Cali. No offense to those men, just looking for someone more local.
Please please admin. address this issue.
Thanks.
