The new trader locator has the following features:

- Trader Locator Location and Profile Location now combined into one - so updating both is now simple and easy to do
- UK Postcodes and US Zipcodes are now supported (these will always remain hidden and private).
- Every country in the World is supported by city/town location
- Search for members by where you live, any location in the world or simply by selecing an area of the map
- Opt In/Out of being displayed on the results page
- We use AJAX for choosing towns/cities - so as you type the location you can select choices which appear from a dynamic dropdown
- We use the feature-rich Google Maps to display members on a map
- Map Zoom is limited to provide privacy over exact location
- Easily PM or Add to Buddy List the results of your searches
- Statistics show you how many traders we've located and number of searches and new traders located in the last 24 hours
- Click this icon

next to an opted in member in the forum to instantly show you where they are in the world.

The more people that opt in to the Trader Locator the more useful it becomes to find traders in your area. So, we encourage everyone to enter their locations and actively seek out traders in their area to hook up with.

Please give us your feedback about the new tool, and report any bugs or requests for extra bells n' whistles.

Currently, the new trader locator is pre-populated with all the existing uk trader locator members. But over the weekend we shall be populating US and eventually International members using their existing location fields - this is a labour intensive process so it may take some time. In the meantime you can help us by updating your own location yourself here:
