Hey,

I love the new way finding members has been organized. It looks really cool. One problem is that when I click on people's names it takes me to my own home page and not that person's page. I dont know what / why the bug does this but I assume it only happens to me because no one else has complained of this yet. Can u help me out on this?

Thanks

jared

Lovely the new search, thats a good step in the right direction.

I don t like that I can t search for a member of the "Environmentalist" group in Germany with the Advanced search.

If pop outthe Advanced search I can choose the environmentalist group but then I can t search for Location. If I activate the Environmentalists group and search in the Top Field (Location) for Germany it gives me "Location not found".

Maybe there is a way to search for Environmentalists in Germany with the new search but I could not figure it out...

@jared - I indeed can't reproduce the bug you describe. Maybe you can be a bit more specifc (what kind of browser do you use ...) and try to delete your cache before trying again.

@fabzgy - it is working, but you have to you have to click the "search" button from the advanced search field instead of the upper one - not really intuitive and convenient, I agree, hope that we imprve that.

just some more:

I use firefox (2.0.0.13) Mac/Tiger.

seems to ignore regions and jumps to Germany:

search: niedersachsen, bayern, baden würtenberg always: 442 members

-------------------------------------

switching between map->text 12 sec. loading time (broadband)

switching between text ->map 17 sec. loading time (broadband)

--------------------------------------

search: Berlin

sorting order: age ->57 members

sorting order: last login, acco., new members, comments->75 members

why is there a difference between 57 and 75?

4 script errors (firebug)

-----------------------------------

links: 26 ..50 and so on don't work.

document.getElementById(field) has no propertiesfunction get_val(field) {return document.getElementById(field).value;} searchmembers.js (line 324)

----------------------------------

We do no have the browse country link anymore?

Anyway amazing work guys, great design, functionality and usability - still some bugs but great work.

It's working great for me, no problems on IE6 (the only browser installed on my work computer)

Works great and looks fantastic!

Some points:

The entire teaser (the orange bar) could be a bit smaller, giving more space for the list of results
switching between map view and list view requires some waiting. Maybe we can speed that up if we keep both views ready in inline frames, or as hidden divs?
The small list is fine in the usual case - but maybe it could be enhanced with some kind of tooltip showing more info for a single member...

hi!

the new "find members" page is definitely quite good! but to me a "browse countries/regions" page is also needed - why was it removed? sometimes it is just more functional. As for Switzerland, Austria, no members appear on the map, but on a simple listing of the countries/regions/cities, you could quite easy see which members there live. and yes, statistics Are interesting to the user: so you can see at a glance how many members in each country/region live etc. without having to use the "search"-function every time ..
