Find Members Website Problem

I am using the 'find members' webpage to search for people over 40 within my area code. It loads people initially but when I select 'next page' or 'page 2' - the search dumps my criteria (age and location) and shows people of all places and ages. Any advice?

    I tried on my PC and it works fine. I was not aware that feature existed. Thank you for sharing

    Broken again? I have no tips. The search gets broken by an MFP update, someone reports it, it takes months for MFP to fix it, it works for a few days or weeks, it breaks again. Rinse, repeat. Hopeless.

    Well, that's super creepy. Is there any way to block yourself from being "found" through that search function?

    If in doubt, just change the location in your profile to somewhere other than where you really live. Based on my attempts to use the user search, it's unlikely anyone would find you anyway. I had the same experience as the OP. I was hoping to find local members who might want to start a biking or running group, and the search goes wacky after the first page.

    It is still broken. I was trying to find members to share how their meals days look like but had the same problem Lwayne had

    Hey I noticed the same thing. The first page seems legit, then the second page gets wacky and seems to load users at random.
