A topic from OUT Website: Suggestions for Site Features

#4678Sun 20/07/08 23:12

 

Sorry if I repeat a well-worn demand. But it seems silly to have all that computer power, and all that information on OUT members, but not to use it. I can look at who lives in a given town, in a given age-range, with specific tags, but that's about all.
Why can't I search on pets or politics, or height or religion? People with such attributes may well be worth travelling to meet. The information's there, and can be viewed - if by chance you land on an appropriate profile - but you can't go looking for it.
And might it be possible to offer people a way to categorise their interests such that others can search sensibly for them, rather than use free-form tags? I might - just - guess that searching on bruckner or britten would discover a soul-mate, but might there not be a general category which rings their bell, and also shows up people who enjoy mahler and schubert as well?
