Default Can we set up a way..

to search forum members by country? This has come up several times and I don't see any easy way. Maybe I'm dumb, but I can'r figure out how to do this.

I found a way a few months back when I was looking for a french member that I couldn't remember the name of. Go to members, 'search members' then 'advanced search' in that box, and in the list select the country you want.

I'm with Ross on this one too.

Camille I did what you said and put Puerto Rico in the search like you said and nothing came up. It's funny cause I'm still here and didn't even show up on the search. lol

Hi Wanda

If you just do a Member Search nothing comes up...you need to click on "Advanced" search, enter Puerto Rico (as an example) in the location box and then hit search. I came up with 4 members on that list

I found you just fine Wanda. In fact, I pulled up a list of 23 people from Puerto Rico. Don't type anything in the advanced member search. Just select a country flag in the list, and voila.

Ah...so it can be done by using the flag as Camille suggested or by location as I did it.

By location, only 4 members come up while Camille got a whole bunch more than that by using the flag. Some folks use the flag to designate their nationality rather than location so that might explain it

Thanks, Camille. That's exactly how you do it. We don't keep track, but we probably have members from most of the countries. In order to find someone they have to have the country flag set.
