FabSwingers.com forum: "I'm in the area"

I see people on here saying, "I was staying in this hotel and I looked for people locally and found someone staying on the same floor".

How does this work? I've got my home location (postcode) listed, but I've never found any other way of finding local people. Am I missing something here?

Mobile location. It can go down to as little as a quarter of a mile. I sometimes get messages from home and I know exactly what hotel they're in.

I'm not good with mobile phones, so is it an app on the phone that gives you this info. Can't reply direct cos of filters but you can message me direst if you like, with more info.

On the mobile version of the website, you should see a banner that says "who's near". If you click that, you can turn it on for your phone. This needs GPS, or location, to be turned on on your phone.

Thanks for the help. Think I've cracked it now. No contacts, haha but cracked the mechanics. Ta!

If their GPS isn't on or working, it defaults to the profile postcode that it's set up with.

"Mobile location. It can go down to as little as a quarter of a mile. I sometimes get messages from home and I know exactly what hotel they're in. "

It can actually go even closer.

When I've been in a club it comes up with "within touching distance"

Not funny!

Same here the location thing is just a licence to stalk for some.

I'd consider it if it ever got closer than a quarter mile. Fortunately it doesn't seem to.

Believe me it can track less than 100 yards away......it’s not a good tool when treated as a stalking device.

We usually change our Fab location when we're staying in a hotel.

You have to sift through a deluge of messages - but we almost always get a nice date.

I don’t know whether it is still the case but on holiday I checked on who’s near and it said someone was within touching distance!

The closest it allows now is within a quarter mile. This has been the case for the couple of years we've been here.

Up here, am lucky if the miles are in single digits, let alone fractions!
