Who thinks it would add to the experience if the See who's close by feature worked to within 10 metres. The fun you could have guessing who's who and where.

Err, no! 10 metres of me includes only 3 houses, and I don't want any of them knowing I'm on Fab.

It won't work, anyway:

~ Fab only asks for the first half of the postcode (covers thousands of properties, in some area)

~ I (and many others, I'm sure) didn't put my real postcode into Fab. I used the postcode of my nearest big town, specifically so that no-one can guess who I am. This approach is permitted by Admin, specifically to cover members' privacy concerns

~ If it worked off IP addresses, my IP presently thinks I live 40 miles away from where I really am. And each time I have to reboot my router, the 'dynamic IP address system' gives me a slightly different location.

Something to have a laugh about, maybe, but not possible or appropriate for an adult site, where many of us guard our privacy.

Forgive me here if I'm wrong but does it not go off your gps and not post code as when we move around or go shopping it changes. A mile is good enough for us as not many house near
