We've updated the Nexopia user search & browse to make it bigger and better so it's easier for you to find people you know (or meet someone new!)

You can use the search in your sidebar to look for specific users by their Nexopia username, email, or even real name.
If you'd rather, you can browse through users you don't know by location, school, gender, or multiple interests.
If you haven't already, make sure to add your name and school in your account preferences to make youself easier for friends to find in the search! (Note that entering in your name or school in your preferences is for search purposes only -- your name will never be displayed on your profile, and your school will only be displayed if you set it as such on your profile Basics block.)
If you decide you don't want people to be able to search for you by your real name or email address, you can also disable the searchable option for that information in your account preferences.

	07:47pm \| Nov 02, '09 Castellan In what specific way? You should be able to do everything you previously could before the update.
	Top

	07:56pm \| Nov 02, '09 RrYyAaNn* you cant see new users anymore...
	Top

	08:06pm \| Nov 02, '09 Castellan Sure you can. Click on the Users link to go to browse, pull down More Options, and check off New Users.

	08:58pm \| Nov 02, '09 RrYyAaNn* tried that but nothing came up it was jus blank

	09:19pm \| Nov 02, '09 Castellan Could you please list the values of all the other fields on the page? We've had one other report of this, but we haven't been able to duplicate it on our end. Also, can you report the line that starts with HTTP_USER_AGENT from http://www.nexopia.com/browserinfo? Please PM me directly so I see the information sooner.

	08:25pm \| Nov 02, '09 [dissolution] I liked the anonymity and uniqueness of this site. As I said before, it's just getting more and more like Facebook. A website which I find narcissistic and petty.
	Top

	09:22pm \| Nov 02, '09 Kevin You can still be just as anonymous as before. You are not required to share your real name, school or any other information. And even if you do, you can keep it out of the search.
	Top

	09:23pm \| Nov 02, '09 [dissolution] True enough. I don't know, I just find the change unoriginal and disappointing.
	Top

	06:02am \| Nov 03, '09 Kevin Fair enough. Most of the change is in the power of the search. Before a lot of the functionality was broken or not possible. It is now possible to find people much easier and search in ways you couldn't before.

	08:06am \| Nov 06, '09 deprivation I kind of agree with her.
	Top

	09:34pm \| Nov 02, '09 ibCONNOR- k, why browse people through their email? thats seems stalker-ish. and if we wanted to add people through their email, we would just do that "add everyone on your hotmail, yahoo and msn" feature. like everything just got more complicated. just please stop updating the site, like only 3 of my friends use this site anymore because its just starting to get annoying.
	Top

	11:27pm \| Nov 02, '09 Castellan We didn't add the ability to search emails, that's something you could always do here.
	Top

	01:26am \| Nov 03, '09 ibCONNOR- well then whatde you add?
	Top

	01:45am \| Nov 03, '09 Castellan The ability to search by real name and by school, if and only if the user allows this. Fast username substring matches. The "might know" field. Caching of results. Exact result sets. And, of course, we moved the code over from the old code base to the new code base. There may have been more changes, but those are the ones that leap to mind.

	11:16pm \| Nov 02, '09 TheDveilsOwn because you now just cant search random people or at least it wont do it on mine. Before you could pick where u wanted to search the age groups male or female and then wham. If the other stuff was added to the code then I would say go nuts
	Top

	11:29pm \| Nov 02, '09 Castellan What you are describing is how it should work. What values do you have in your browse fields? Are you getting no results? Just one result? Lots of results? Please contact me via PM and we'll try to get this sorted out.
	Top

	11:17pm \| Nov 02, '09 TheDveilsOwn before you could search out people by email just punch it into the search part
	Top

	11:28pm \| Nov 02, '09 Castellan You still can.
	Top

	12:15am \| Nov 03, '09 i.like.it. everytime i try to browse nothing showes up
	Top

	01:48am \| Nov 03, '09 Castellan Please PM me with the specific values in the fields on the browse page, and I'll see if I can help figure out what's going wrong for you.

	11:51pm \| Nov 03, '09 Castellan This should work now. We fixed a bug with Internet Explorer today.
