Not checked the Member Locator page for a while... it really does take a long time to load ! guessing it's because there are lots of forum members - perhaps it's calculating a distance for each ? in which case it might actually be quicker just to render everyone onto the map ?
I'd be interested to know how it is doing it too, as it really shouldn't take that long to process.
I would guess it's probably accessing each member node via the Umbraco object structure, if it is doing that, then obviously with a lot of members it will be slow. I would think if the geo-cordinates were stored for each member it would be possible to write a simple helper function that returned the closest members and that just performed a single SQL query.
Finding Our Forum Members by Name
Hi, being able to find forum members by name (linking to their profile) might be a useful feature ?

This would indeed be a nice feature - and it would also be nice to have the member locator fixed. It just keeps loading at the moment?

I agree about the member locator, it seems to take forever to load that page.
