Currently it's implemented by Regions which are very broad (it'd take c. 3 hours to travel to some parts of the region)
Also if you're on the edge of a region people really close by but in another region are excluded, so I often see local updates of people hours away but not people 20 mins away.
Can it not be done on mileage? |

It goes by the postcode someone puts on their profile. For example someone from Scotland could be visiting a club near you and temporarily put an LE postcode, they would then show up on your local updates. |

I know it decides what region I'm in based on postcode. So LE10 equals East Midlands. However Hinckley is surrounded on 3 sides by CV postcodes which are in the West Midlands so I might get a 'local update' from someone 2 hours away in the East Midlands but none from those 20 mins away in the West Midlands.
If done in a postcode radius it would work a lot better. |

I know what you mean, my postcode is LL, I'm only a few minutes from the next postcode area but my local updates is full of people two hours drive away on the north coast.
I just have a saved search of
People who match my preferences, within X miles of me, who are looking to meet a woman my age.
You then put the ones that take your fancy into your hottlist and you'll see their updates.
Not ideal but it helps. |

"Hiya op
Might be how you've got your settings because it's showing that you are 180 miles away
Newcastle upon Tyne is about 180 miles from Hinckley, I don't get your point?"
Adjust the distance (radius) which can be say for example 20 miles from you |

eg. "York", "Kettering", "YO8", "N12" are all OK
With 5/10/15/20 and so on miles
It below the postcode |

They mean the "local updates" feed.
That isn't based on nearby, but it seems the letter of the postcode.
I almost never see anyone local in it.
SY postcode for example goes right across to Aberystwyth which is nowhere near Shrewsbury
