Hi,
We are thinking of introducing a buddy system where people can see roughly where other forum users are based in UK (based on their postcode and if they want to be on the system).
If people then want to become buddies with other people in their area then they can send an email through the system, the person can then respond directly if they want to.
People will have the choice if they want to be on the buddy system and can remove themselves at any time. Obviously protecting peoples privacy is a top priority but the above should allow that whilst at the same time enabling people to find people in their local area that are experiencing the same problems.
A few people have requested this kind of functionality.
We are thinking of adding it to the forum so that members can edit their profile and either be on the buddy system or not based on their preference.
What do people think? Will it be useful?
Regards, Admin
