I like the new search facility, but have a couple of observations:
Premium/Trial Members. There now appears to be no way that one can identify trial members. This information does not show on their profile, and the search button was the only way of identifying this. Quite apart from not being able to know which members won't be able to reply (which has already been mentioned) many people used this as a filter of "seriousness" to minimise the chances of contacting the proverbial timewasters.
Last Seen. The default cut-off time of "Over 2 weeks" remains a thoroughly unsatisfactory answer. There is no way of telling the differnce between a member who is taking a short break and one who lost interest years ago. Before the last revamp, the profiles showed when the member last logged on. Couldn't this be re-instated?
Recently Active. What is the definition of "recently active"?
Sorry, I'm not being any help... but the search thingy is fun!
I keep adding in different variables to see how accurate it is... clearly there are things I like that are a bit 'niche' - I've narrowed it down to 43 people that fit my exacting criteria in the whole country! :giggle:
it looks very good, there seems to be one or two glitches..girls that turn out to be guys lol but hey that can happen in clubs too if your unlucky! or lucky, depending on where you come from
however
if we just wanted to see results showing paid members do we click this button?
'Advanced profile options?'
we tried it and it certainly reduced the numbers of swingers on our doorstep but we still arent sure if the 2 people that remained are actually members ..ie no forum posts and the usual one advert and little other activity..we have pm'd one of them but experience tells us not to hold our breath for a reply..well its been 'over ' two weeks since either were online.
Only being nosey of course as not looking ATM just like to know who is a swinger in the village and who isnt...
we thought WE WERE THE ONLY SWINGERS IN THIS VILLAGE

Wee glitches ahoy- I don't live 3 miles from lands end & Johnny's scrote simultaneously...
and when you click order by distance, it jumps back to the previous page.
Big Improvement!
Apart from some comments which have already been made on this thread (e.g. last online at 2 weeks) there are two issues to comment on.
1. Order By Last Online function top right does not work, we have had results of 2 days followed by 10 hours etc.
2. Would be better to have body type as tick boxes rather than combo box, so you can search by Slim & Medium etc at the same time.
If we find anything else will let you know, but it's much better.
Just a couple of thoughts that would improve the search even more:
- be able to add wildcards (the asterix) to the search by username function. EDIT - ignore this, just realised you can do this but without the asterix entered
- make a slight change to the position of the "Last Seen" line so that it doesn't sit directly above the photo of the next profile, it's a bit misleading.
Apart from that, well done to Admin as it looks and works great.
With regargard to the new search it seems rahter limiting. It gives the choice of looking for singles or couple, why not both, surely it's not unreasonable for some people to be looking for either?

So far, I prefer the original. The "interested in" is restricted to just three activities whereas before you could check as many as were available. I thought the original was also easier to navigate. Quite frankly, I'm asking myself why on earth did you feel the need to change it. If it ain't broke...and all of that.
2 Major flaws with the new search.
It's still picking up smokers when I try to screen them out.
Also maybe I'm missing something but I dont appear to be able to rank the search by user name alphabeticaly any more? Which means if I search again tomorrow I finish up looking at all the same guys????? So infuriating and a waste of time when half are smokers which I dont want to see grrrrrrrrrrrr.

ive just tried using the new search function and it says leave feedback in the forum or the support centre.
i dont know where the support centre is.
one thing i wouldlike to see on the search function is looking for single, married etc.
i might only want to meet single men, so it would save me finding lots of attached playing aways if this was a option.
ok yes i know some will be married but playing with permission or lying.
alos the distance thingy might be better if its more obvious.
sorry if this has been said already.

You can also send a pm to Admin
I would request being able to search for people by status as well, because if I'm looking for a single male I want a single male, not an almost divorced, almost single, or married one 
Or am I missing something? Otherwise, I quite like the new search facility.
