I'm sure this has been asked before - but given the number of Brits in Spain & Portugal (and other European swingers down there) isn't there enough demand to warrant an Iberian 'country' site as we have with Australia and NZ?

Not sure what you mean? Do you mean an entirely new web site specifically for Iberia or do you mean changing the Spanish forum to include Portugal?

I mean a situation similar to the countries at the left of this page - you pick your country, and register appropriately. Currently if you live in Spain or Portugal you have to give your address as "Malaga, London, UK".

Why not just set up a sub-site where you can register with your address on the Iberian peninsula? I guess if it was a language issue then you could require posts in English.

And then if you were searching for meets in Spain or Portugal you could search based on your location, or advertise meets based upon your area

Ah! OK.

It looks like all the countries available on the "Your Country" list are English speaking, so that may have some bearing on it.

I don't know how Fab calculate the distance between locations, but that only appears to be available within the UK e.g. if you go to Search and change your Country to anything other than UK, the "Within distance" option disappears and "Distance:" info only seems to appear on UK profiles.

I guessing that there would be more work to be done behind the scenes, than simply adding new countries to the drop-down!

Though the "Who's near" function seems to work!

Right now:

They are on mobile, 4000+ miles away

Quite. Currently you need to actually travel to Spain, fire up your mobile, and see who is online near you that fits your search criteria. There isn't really the ability to plan ahead.

Which, given the number of posts on this forum from people asking 'is anyone in **** between x date and y date' would be welcomed by a lot of people, no matter where they live.

Many many months ago One of the Admins advised there were plans to add a larger country selection to the list of countries.

I have been in Amsterdam for 9 months now & STILL waiting to see this option.

I am seriously hacked off with people messaging me cos I have London as a location, even though I also have Amsterdam AND a dedicated paragraph explaining the issue about country selection that no one reads!

And in case anyone has a whine, I have been a Gold Member, fully paid up almost since the day I joined this site some 3 years ago.

Is it too much to ask the Site owners to acknowledge that many people do not live in their limited choice of country on this site?
