POF still thinks I'm from Newcastle, even though I've changed by city
Posted: 7/1/2009 8:09:28 PM
Hey Guys,

Firstly, thanks for the hours you've put into running this great site.

One small issue. I've changed my home city from Newcastle (NSW, AU) to Melbourne (Vic, AU). It's all changed in my profile which is sweet, but for some reasons the inner workings of your database still considers my home city to be Newcastle. I can tell this because when I click Online -> My City, all the results are from Newcastle. I can't contact any members from Melbourne who only allow contacts within 75 / 30 / whatever miles from Melbourne. Also my matches are still all from Newcastle.

Other than that issue, everything seems fine. But what if this bug blocks me from meeting my soul mate?

Thanks,

T.

They don't use city for most matching. Its usually postal code. And I know they have trouble it seems with some postal codes especially in Australia. Verify yours is correct. Try another one near you maybe also?

Try this link as it addresses your exact problem in australia and has comments from the mods.

The post from Cowboy will lead you in a good direction.

This forum is for help with computers and other technology NOT RELATED to the site. The site has it's own forum here: http://forums.plentyoffish.com/datingForum4.aspx.

^^^ actually the help links point them to this forum. Thats why you get non forum regulars with a problem posting here.

Most forum regulars who know their way around go to the site help one. The newbies post here and we just help them because this is where the help section links them to for some reason for any kind of help.
